Only read page one, don't feel like reading page 2 and 3 of the snobs bashing a car they've never driven. The only problem I see is this: you should have waited for the 2013.

Granted this is a 2013 GT500 but it looks pretty fast thru the twisties.

Always amusing to see threads that get moved out of E90 post into the general forums....so we can see where all the douchebag fanbois hang out.

So much fail in this thread.



Nice pick up OP, congrats on your new beast, ignore the haters.

Are you guys insane? Ford 2012 GT500 is a beast. I just ran my buddies in my M3 he has a tune and pulley pushing 600whp. He spanked my ass bad no matter if it was a roll, dig or anything at that... He also gave me 8 cars from a dig and still beat me.


Congrats on the GT500 !

Don't let all these jealous BMW kids get to you. Most these foos only buy bmws to try to pick up girls... aka loosers. BMW can't buy you looks or a bigger dick kids.

car is fast, nice v8 sound but that's about it... To each their own, would never trade a german car for an american car unless it was a weekend toy.

um.. 4 bangers?? you were making semi-decent points, but you really lost me here. There hasn't been a 4 banger mustang since like the 80s. The "base" secretary version mustang V6 has over 300hp like the 335i.

They def used to make 4 banger mustangs at some point, we would clown my buddy all the time back in high school because our friends civic and my eclipse were faster than his "pony car".... but i didn't mean to generalize like that, but it just seems they ruined the mustang by making a "cheap, slow" version of it... 4 banger or not...

I actually didnt know the newer v-6 mustang puts out over 300hp... but still doesn't make me want to buy one. ...nor does the 335i having over 300+ being the sole reason i would want a 335.

Once again, 2 COMPLETELY different cars IMO and you can't "directly" compare.

Your opinion is shit.

My personal opinion is that the "horsepower wars" have gotten ridiculous. A 550 HP Shelby.. a ZL1 Camaro with 580 HP, then a new Shelby with 650 HP, then more Shelby's with 950 and 1100 HP.. Where will it end? Stock 335i models with 300 HP is already more power than almost anyone needs. In 'Murrica, we're addicted to horsepower, and I am guilty as well. It takes visiting family in Europe to realize that we're almost the only people who still have a love affair with big engines.

That said, Mustangs have always been my favorite muscle car by far. Lighter, and relatively small compared to the competition, good handling, looks good (the recent facelifts are questionable though). Blows anything by Dodge and Chevy out of the water. Congrats on the purchase. It's a great car! I hope it doesn't become stuck being a 550 HP daily driver, that would be a waste. Though it may not be as comfy and nice as a BMW, it's definitely an upgrade in terms of performance.

Ignorance AGAIN. You can get the OP's Shelby for under $30k, a 2013 will be north of $70k if it goes anything like it always does with Ford dealers.

He can come back with, "You got a shitty 3 series when you could have just waited for the f10 m5."

The ignorance in this thread makes me sick to my stomach. People on other forums that own $200k cars have respect for Cobras, GT500's, and Shelby's and we have losers here with $25k cars talking about how the car doesn't compare to their shitboxes. Geezus, a friggin Acura TSX costs the same as my used 335i e90 does. Get reall here people.

Or don't be a tool and just add a pulley and a tune.
