Well OP, just remember he still has to wear the mustang mullet and drive back to his trailer... . Just kidding, I worked at a mustang shop for many years building cars for track use and different racing series. They're cheap to get fast and with the right suspension, can run circles around 911s for a lot less money. That being said, the refinement just still isn't there. Don't forget those mustangs are built on the Lincoln LS platform.

He must have had you at the outset. The pull from 60 to 75 mph in the M3 does not take long at all even at stock. Not sure how you had time to look down at the speedometer once you let her rip! Mustang is a sweet car, but I do love my M3.

It performs in a straight line ....the M3 Comp package with DCT runs mid to low 12s. Most performance cars are around that level it really takes allot more money and more engine go boom risk, to drop below 12s.....I have pulled on my friends manual 2009 Corvette they go mid to low 12s also. So the M3 is no joke...get into Corvette ZO6 and forget it, but the majority of Vettes you can go against or stangs for that matter....just not the modified ones or the more expensive models like the ZR1 Z06 or 2013 GT500 Stang.

...in fact the BMW is not "great" or number 1 in anything. However, its number 2 in everything and no car is that good....I read that somewhere...

Stuff happens. I can lose to Honda Civic DX stock, if I was talking to someone over the phone, and try to calm my crying toddler.

I was thinking about this thread today and while I was driving along the freeway, it got me thinking again as I drove behind an Audi S5... How many other cars would this Mustang compete with and we should also feel good that the Mustang would have beat the Audi and probably a Merc c63
All high dollar cars but still in leagues above the Mustang. It's not just the destination of who got there first but also about the journey.

Totally agree. An M3 is the kind of car that's good at everything, but not really great at anything. It's in a niche of its own. Maybe the new ISF or CTSV can compete, but that's it. It's not the best in a straight line, or the best in the corners, nor is it the best road car, or canyon carver. And it isn't the best driver's car either. What makes it unique is that it's the only car that's good at doing all of the above.

But seriously, there was some other thread where a dude said he flat out beat a BOSS 302..Yea right.

M3 can’t touch the pony cars. That anemic high winding 4L is good in the twisties, but there is no replacement for displacement and brute power/torque.

@deeborn - I agree, we can't touch most ponys, and we are good in the canyon, but with that said, I have had a mustang gt500 keep up with me in the canyons, I mean he was kissing my ass all the way up and all the way down. If there was a straight, I think he would have enough reserve to over take me.. Idk man, I feel like the old muscles are making a come back in the all around performance category

First off I want to say I love Mustangs....have had Mustangs all my life until 2001 when I got into my first BMW E46 M3. The problem BMW M3 owners have is that Ford actually sells go fast parts for quite cheap that are CARB legal and come with a factory warranty. Case in point..

http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...KeyField=12168

This S/C kit is available from Ford Racing Parts for under $7K and is CARB exempt and it has a 12mos. warranty with it as long as its installed by a Ford dealer.

As far as NOS on a Mustang there are some people who do squeeze them but you are taking a chance as one hiccup and you destroy the plastic intake manifold from the backfire.

That is why I wish someone like Gintani, VF engineering or someone else who makes blowers wish they would get these things CARB exempt.

I will say I always liked the Ford Racing catalog. I remember when cobra wheels were $150 a piece from Ford. Can you imagine BMW ever selling wheels for $150? You could get a full exhaust system from headers to tailpipes for $800.

If you are talking about my thread, I said I stayed with a Boss 302 on the highway up to about 140, where we got out of it. I also said I was very suprised and maybe he was in the wrong gear or something. I did not say I beat him. Wasn't bragging, which you'll get if you read the thread. Then again, you might not even be talking about my thread at all...
