have a laugh with me

argument with some of the guys on another forum about which is a better buy, an m3, or a gt500 mustang

Quote:
guess you didn't see da video where da gt500 is slaughtering corners huh....this ain't 1970 anymore, modern muscle can handle a curve.

not only is da shelby faster, stronger, and cheaper....



its WAAAAAAY better looking...so you can front on NT all you want, in da real world da mustang is whats taking it.

i mean c'mon sir...you're getting a LOADED mustang with ALLLLLL da options VS a BASE M3 that you and I know BMW will NICKEL and DIME you on options.

you gotta pay 12 grand more to have what da shelby has for 50 grand.

so #FAIL for you.
he also wrote

Quote:
my question is WHY go OUT OF YOUR WAY to buy a car that not only is slower, but for what you get for a LOADED packaged ford with all da trimings you

would prefer to buy a BASE model M3 that EVERY SINGLE OPTION has to be purchased separately?� in which you end up paying another 12k just to be even with

da gt500? sounds like a waste of money to me.....
can you believe this guy? i would tel you guys to join, but registration is only opened once a month.

but, if u guys wanna see the debate over american vs japs and euro's take a look here

His overuse of "da" pretty much sums it up for me that this person lacks intelligence.
Anyways I read from pages 27-29, I have to conclude that many people on that form especially one is a tool who seem to only exist in the linear world. Now I have to sleep before I loose anymore brain cells.

People who do not understand why we buy the M3 or even BMW's in general need to be left alone.

Let them enjoy their Mustang, GT, GT500. At the end of the day I feel happy in my BMW and I don't really give a shit about the other guy who needs to prove a point.

I tend not to mock someone for their choice in cars; it just isn't cool and in the end you end up looking like a jerk when you do.

I will mock them for spelling or bad grammar though...

The Mustang suits him.

He can use the money he saves for English lessons.

LOL. Reminds me of the other day. I was accelerating from a recent redlight (turned green!) and this old school Camaro ROARS past me on the right (on the shoulder). lol Idiot. He accelerates around (I let him go) and cuts in front of me...giving me a BIG THUMBS DOWN (arm fully extended out the drivers window). LOL. He continues to accelerate up and over the freeway and then veers right onto the clover leaf onramp. I figure, I got a couple minutes. lol. So I follow down the cloverleaf onramp. The acceleration lane after the cloverleaf onto the freeway is seperate from the freeway and long, with two lanes. He hammers it after fricken crawling around the cloverleaf (lol). So, I decide to mess a bit...I hammer it and fly up on his right side (two lanes...remember)...he is still hammering it, but it is no match...I slow to match his pace for a few secs and then proceed to drive on past him....Then I back out, slow and merge at a reasonable pace. He comes flyin past and keeps on down the freeway at breakneck speeds. lol What an idiot.

Moral of the story...

No matter what the reality, people will believe what they believe. Let the GT500 guy buy his "awesome cornering car" and be happy with it...you know whats really up. lol

muscle cars are cool to look at like the '69 camaro's or a challenger but still what you do in a muscle car is accelerate at blinding speeds till a corner and then get out park the car and walk round the curve as the car wont be able to do it faster than you

i wasnt that impressed with the gt500 i met on the track last week. i was able to not only keep up with him on the front straight but actually gain on him, probably better corner set up and exit for me and then the corners it was no match at all.

Everytime I see thread like these I feel so guilty for hating "narrow-minded people". I would like to refer to a qoute I saw in a sig of a forum member here.

"Never argue with idiots. They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience."

exectly, who cares which car is a little faster or slower we buy those cars because we like them, if someone likes the GT500 then they should go buy it and be happy with it and leave everyone else alone

Isn't the GT500 600hp?

They have 50% more power than the m3, why compare?


BTW...top gear lap times

m3: 1.25.3
Mustang: 1.28.0

The 3 seconds is worth the extra thousands for the faster car

<--- Current Mustang owner.

He'll find out in a few years when things are falling apart and the interior is rattling like crazy what he's got. It's one of the main reasons I'm so disgruntled. Not to mention the squeaky suspension is crap and the stock tires are pizza cutters. Their mods cost less, but there's a bigger market.

No accounting for good grammar. Can't wait for the new car to get here.
