"Smoked" the M3? All reviews seem to make it much closer than this.

Ford hit a home run (finally) with the Mustang and the new 5.0. Congrats!

That's because the reviewers were driving those cars. Perhaps this particular M3 mis-shifted or failed to shift correctly. "Smoked" is also quite subjective wording anyway---2 or 3 car lengths might be perceived as smoked, but it's only a few tenths of a second at the 1/4 mile anyway.

dmw16 · 09-23-2010, 09:36 AM

Ford did a great job providing a lot of performance for the buck. The real downside for me is that the interior still looks like the interior of an American car.

The Mustang GT and the E9X M3 aren't even in the same class in terms of an overall package. Of course, the price points are miles apart so they really shouldn't be.

Congrats on the car. +1 for Pics.

2 posts?

The new 5.0 is a homerun for Ford. 'Bout time.

It will be interesting to see the new M3 in a few years.

It all comes down the driver. They are that close.

J@WB · 09-23-2010, 12:33 PM

From a GT owner, the Mustang is very very very impressive. Especially for the Price. Congrats and pics would be cool.

ALPINE6SPD · 09-23-2010, 01:46 PM

I love the new 5.0 in grabber blue. I would own one as well and the interior with the enhanced interior package is not bad looking at all.

I don't care if the stang is faster in a straight line and on the curves, give me the M3. You can't put a price on swagger. The M3 has swagger. The Mustang GT is commonplace performance at a bargain.

Yeah, swagger. The car exudes a confident, arrogant, and aggressive vibe. I would say both of your cars, your Z06 and your M3, have swagger.

NemesisX · 09-24-2010, 03:26 PM

Swagger I think is partly a function of rarity, and rarity is a function of price (the higher the price of a car, the more rare it tends to be on the roads)

You're likely to see the new Mustang GT roam the streets in bulk given the price tag, but you are not as likely to see M3s and Z06s roam the streets.

Yes they did... My 135i hasn't moved in two weeks. The 5.0 6-speed is just way too much fun around town. And I get more compliments in a week than in two years in the 1. It's hard to park anywhere without someone asking me about it. It's a monster.

Taking nothing away from the 1. It's a great car and very unique.

Now will the moderator please unban me? Just because someone appreciates a good American car doesn't mean they don't have contnued passion for BMW engine and performance technology.

i love the m3 and i would love to own one but the united states navy doesnt pay me near enough to own one, so to own a car that has near to equal performance to me is pretty damn impressive and if that means it doesnt have "swagger" so be it...

True, I agree with you.

I think the 5.0 Mustang GT is a great car, and to have performance comparable to a car that costs nearly twice as much is a testament to how great the 5.0 is in terms of value. There's no denying that.
