Wow, congrats on the new car! I am waiting a year or two for the refresh when they hopefully drop that stupid mast antenna and make a few other changes. Otherwise I would own one now!

I'll wait til Gran Turismo 5 comes out to determine which is the better car. So which car magazines tend to be the most unbiased?

Honestly the only reason they did the comparo is because the numbers were so similar. No one ever really thought to compare Mustang and M3 before. I thought it was fair...
