[QUOTE="Driver72, post: 9969838, member: 105832"] Thanks for the link. That is surely a win for the Mustang GT. What bothers me is the M3 beats the Mustang GT around the race track by .09 seconds (about 1 foot) and at the end of the video they state, 'but a win is still a win, so the M3 is faster around the track.' However, the Mustang GT beats the M3 Competition Package in the 60-0 braking by 2 feet and Motor Trend proclaims, "to us that's a tie." WTF?? So when the Mustang GT beats the M3 by two feet in a test it's a tie, but when the M3 beats the GT by single foot in a time that's faster than the blink of an eye, it's a win for the BMW? That's bogus. I just came from owning two BMWs and I love them, but let's be fair Motor Trend. The Mustang GT beat the M3 Competition Package in more of your performance tests and the one that it lost too was such a narrow amount, that 1 psi difference in air pressure in the tires could make or break that difference, but you don't call that a tie?? True the M3 did get around the track in .09 seconds faster, which technically is a win, but the GT also BEAT the M3 in more performance tests including BRAKING distance. AND the Mustang costs A LOT less. That's a Mustang win plain and simple. Further, since the M3 already costs much more than the Mustang, the more fair comparison test should of been the 2011 GT with Brembo brake package vs. the non competition package M3. That M3 would still cost $20k more and it would be clear that the Mustang GT would beat it even more in the performance tests AND around the race track by probably over a second. Nice job Ford.
