    You, you THINK that you know how to drive stick. Yet you say that the primary car you drive is an automatic.

    A 14 year old Mustang will spend most of it's time and all of your money, in a repair shop. On it's way to a junk yard. Bad choice, spectacularly bad.

    A powerful rear wheel drive when you have not driven a manual.

    It will swap ends in a heartbeat if you get it wrong.

    You have around a 70% chance of crashing it in the first year. Insurance companies know this.

    Here in Europe we have a different rest and license to drive a manual. There is a lot more to it to do it properly.

    It's a terrible choice. Insurance rates are gonna be astronomical and it will be a gas hog.

    I'd recommend an older Toyota Corolla with a manual gearbox. Cheap to feed, own, and they go on and on and on!

    If you've never driven a manual, you will probably be replacing the clutch soon after you buy it, since it would probably be worn fairly well anyway.

    Check the cost of insurance before you think that they are cheap.
