That is too short-sited of a statement. Ford had to completely revamp the mustang with a 5.0 Coyote engine to come close to the M3, which has remained largely unchanged (EDC not-withstanding) since inception.

If you compare the first model E92 M3 coupe to the same mustang of that year, I think the gap is more obvious. Of course this is outside the realm of price differences, but you have to pay to play. Lets pit the currently redesigned mustang with a 5.0 engine against the forthcoming redesign M3 in ~2012 and you will see that gap return.
