They take to aggressive driving (mind you these were Kia Soul/Rio) without complaining, though they certainly don't encourage it.

I see them more as a winter tire that you can drive all year round on, rather than a performance all season that works ok in the snow.
If you just daily drive your Mustang, they'll be a good fit.
But, if you're looking to do any frequent spirited driving or autoX, I would look at getting two sets of tires.
Just came to this thread to ask exactly about these two tires. Looking for a set for my father in law's TSX, was going to get the WRG3s for him but the Nordman WR seems like it'd work fine for him (drives infrequently and generally slowly). The only negative I've read about the Nordman WR is that it's got sloppy steering response (like a typical winter tire) - I don't see that as an issue for him.

The WRG3s would run him about $250 more than the WRs' - any reason to think that it's worth it?

thanks,
