Meh, don't look at it like that. Like Dreamer was saying the comparing mod game is a slippery slope. No matter what you do there will always be someone faster. You could dump 10k into yours and I could dump 10k into mine and we'd be back where we started, and a Veyron would still smoke us all the way to 250+.

The only thing I really care about is whether or not I get a big grin on my face whenever I hit the loud pedal or take to the twisties over the main roads.

Yeah, or you could drop like 50k into a car to be faster than pretty much everyone on the street, but spend all your time fixing it, rather than driving it...while collecting thousands of dollars in in tickets.

I will say the Brembo GT and Sport Package 370 are very close. The only difference is feel. Grip levels are nearly the same and they are both pretty nimble and responsive. They just drive differently. There certainly is no lack of fun factor on some back roads with the Mustang, and with a better shock package it would best the M3 rather than match it.

Sounds like you speak from experience.
