Waiting for BMW's Defender Of The Faith, Z3guy to chime in....
I priced a Mustang and added every option I could and it came to around $37K. Base for an M3 is $71K. That's $34K more, and although I've never gone to a BMW dealership to look at an M3 I have a sneaky suspicion you're not going to see one for $71K.
Remember kiddies, Mustangs are only fast in a straight line.

The comparison isn't about panel gaps or whether the interior is made from the finest Dutch Belted cow hide... it's about performance numbers between two cars that, for the standard car buyer, are on two opposite ends of the pricing spectrum.

These 2 cars aren't really comparable....1 is a classy, luxury euro sport car, and the other one is an American muscle.
It is like comparing a $15,000 motorcycle vs a $1,000,000 Ferrari Enzo. From the numbers, both are about the same speed (actually..i think a 15k bike will be faster from 0-100km & for 1/4 mile). But they are a different class of vehicle and you can't say a 15k bike is > a million $ enzo.

Both these cars have the same HP, weigh about the same, are RWD and can carry 4 passengers. We're not comparing a Ford Mustang to a $1,000,000 exotic, we're comparing it to BMW 3 Series, and it holds its own quite well.
Very impressive job by Ford.
I take back my comments last year about Ford's shitty V6 and V8 offerings they had when compared to GM's new engines in the Camaro. Ford really stepped up to the plate with the new Mustang and especially with the engine choices.

^ haha the bmw fanboys are choked! Anyways.. I think the mustang will be a better car performance wise as there is still room for improvement for the engine. The m3's engine is basically fully tuned and it would cost a small fortune to tune it.

My mind is blown.
FUCK, Mustang GTs run 12s and lap as fast as BMW M3s now?!?!
A Mustang GT is as fast as my Stealth Twin Turbo?!?!!
Fuck me, I need some bigger turbos.

Funny how the original thread was very active and grew quickly.
Then the Mustang matches the M3 on the track and suddenly everyone has all but disappeared from this thread.
