An intedresting tidbit for mustang nay-sayers out there.

2011 BMW M3 Coupe vs. 2011 Ford Mustang GT Comparison - Motor Trend

If you think you can trash a 'stang from an overall perfomance standpoint after reviewing, you've got to be on the crack and certainly standing in the longest river on earth.

Trust nothing from Motor Trend. Wait for a proper comparo from a real magazine.

Test driven back to back by both writers and a pro driver, both cars the same day/conditions? Trust me, MotorTrend is the biggest M3 fanboy sight out there and they were even impressed. The review just backs up what the numbers already say, These cars are neck and neck.

No. Obviously, you are wrong, Lug. What you meant to say was, "DERR, da mustang is slower den bofe da M3 and da Z car. DERRRRRRRR!!!"

I'm just translating.

It's obvious that Motor Trend made everything up because they were running up against the deadline and were on a coke/hooker binge.

its true, MT sucks BMW's dick. So to hear them give Ford props is actually impressive.

No, they are not neck and neck. An M3 would destroy a 5.0 in a race. Don't let the numbers of a couple of laps they posted fool you. Focus in on the behavior of the Mustang at speed, the pro driver said it was all over the place. Wait for Automobile, Car & Driver, or Road & Track comparisons.

Again, Motor Trend is a worthless POS rag, the worst car mag on the planet. They are laughed at by other mags all the time. Petersen Publications is a joke. Their biggest asset is Hot Rod Magazine. That says it all.

Not a slight of the Mustang, it's a great car, and wicked bang for the buck, just like a 370Z in that regard. But it's no BMW M3.

OK, so Randy Pobst, the professional driver, the 2003, 2007, 2008 SPEED World Challenge GT champion and is a two-time class winner of the 24 Hours of Daytona, in 2001 and 2006 is willing to lie here? He's thrown away his professional rep for a single car review? Did his driving skills go to shite because MT was paying him for his opinion? Sometimes you just have to let go and accept the new paradigm! The 'stang isn't a match in all areas but it is in the performance area. To be honest, the M3 is the performance version of a 335i and they should have compared the M3 to Ford's high performance (yet still much cheaper) version of the mustang called the GT500 where it would precisely get it's *** stomped into the ground.

I'm just a car guy. I am not interested in arguing over what's better. I like cars and I want to enjoy them as much as I can. I got a lot out of my Z... a newfound respect for Nissan and a love for the Z car and its history, but more imprtantly I've met some great friends for life because of this car and our common interest.

Now I'm just moving along to a new vehicle to enjoy. I know one thing, though... once a Z owner, ALWAYS a Z owner. I will be back in one at some point.

Exactly.

And you better believe that if and when the 400 or 560Z comes out, it'll be a definite contender for my next ride for sure.
