BMW barely won ... only on the racetrack.
That mustang looks fast, and the 5.0L looks like a nice engine.

And I know of a 1998 Honda Civic that can blow the doors off any M3. So what's your point about the Mustang?

When will people get it? IT ISN'T ONLY ABOUT THE SPEED !!!!

sorry, didn't join a year ago. My point is that the mustang puts out some impressive numbers. I haven't been following Ford in its development of the mustang lately, and this did surprise me. The price of the mustang for the amount of performance you get out of that car is incredible. I don't mean to say that the M3 is a loser in any way, and if I had to order again, I still would get the M3, but wow, mustang has come a long way to be compared with an M3 ... even with the live rear axle.

... but they don't come in a 4 door

Read the auto news yesterday about the new 200 mph Mustang coming soon. Ford answer to the Camaro.

OP-Thanks for the link.

Not everyone has been a "long time board memeber", so even though it was not published within the past few weeks, does not mean that "other board members" and/or "newbees" would not find value in your post.

I am waiting on a stock 5.0 Rust Stang

because I am everything but stock

I play to win

j/k I went to check out the Rust Stangs at the Stealership and I was not feeling it. I am still glad I have a M3

Yeah, I have mixed feelings about that. Just found out today. On a side note I have heard that BMW is considering a high revving V8 in the upcoming E9X 3-series.
