Completely agree that the new GT is incredible for the price. No argument there. This comparison reminds me of the endless 370Z vs Cayman argument. Yes, the 370Z is a great car for the price. But it's no Cayman.

Easy Seabreeeze.............:ugh2:

Ok so... for 30+k over the price of the stang, the M3 gives better overall handling/braking dynamics, even by a small margin. Better looks, and more clout? -- just an opinion.

And for the stang vs the Z at relatively the same price the stang gives more straight line speed by a good margin. And overall handling/braking dynamics are slightly better in the Z. Better looks in the Z and i would say street cred is fairly similar between the two cars. The exotic card going in the Z's favor. And stang has the red neck slap your sister on the butt and kiss your mother and like it cred :icon17: i kid i kid!

Actually, the Mustang gets the nod under braking. ;) And I still stand by my balance comment. The Z has a lot of understeer, the Mustang is very neutral. But the Z has more lateral grip and stock-for-stock it's suspension keeps up with quick directional changes a bit better than the Mustang.

Oh and the Z has a better feel.

Seabreeze we are actually having a civil discussion in this thread, so quit with the pics.

Hey Steve, does the 5.0 back end jump a little sideways (like my Z) over some bumps or does it track straighter?

"and stang has the red neck slap your sister on the butt and kiss your mother and like it cred"

O ok...

It was in jest. :tup:

Feels pretty similar to the Z over rough roads, which is surprising because you'd expect the live axle to kick you all over the place.

The only sports car I've driven that doesn't do this is the Cayman S. That sucker stays planted. :tup:
