However, to be perfectly fair, the Mezger engine did not go away because it was so expensive to produce. It went away because of emissions and efficiency concerns. BMW, on the other hand, has gone on the record to say that the main reason they moved to a 3.0 liter Turbo engine is so that it can be produced in the same plant as the N55 in Steyr. It is only secondary that the powerplant is more efficient than the outgoing S65. By almost all accounts, the 991 GT3 w/ PDK is the best GT3 ever made and immediately makes all the 997/996 models obsolete. I do not think anyone has ever said the same thing about the F10 M5 and its predecessors. |

This is the second piece of horribly wrong information you've foisted upon this thread. The BMWs are great cars, you don't need to make up BS about them to prove a point. |

The 5 series is getting destroyed in the auto press but I bet they still sell 3:1 to the A6 and E-Class and probably 5:1 to the CTS. |

And the CTS is still last generation so we'll see. The BMW m5 is no longer a legend. The e60 was cool in 2007 but quickly lost flavor. It really hasn't made a splash in quite a long time. |

Why would I care when I own an M3 and not a mustang? I think that would make me impartial to say the least. You dont even have a car let alone an ///M so what are you contributing here exactly? We are comparing the next Gen Mustang to M cars and it appears you have driven neither so you are like a med student trying to give your opinion on open heart surgery to skilled surgeons. You're only making yourself look like a dullard.

I'm sorry but all the new Audie are overpriced, overweight and dull [R8 is cool looking though]... I went and looked at a S7 and.meh... Next. Why spend all that scrilla when you can make a gti outrun a lambo or just get a p car
I give more cred to Merc as a family car or you have options like Brabus I'd take a new stingray over the stang but props to Ford for stepping up their game This F8x will smoke a lot of new gen V8 offerings... I think my F30 [man] is as fast if not faster than my E92 [dct-not stock either] going up mountain grades... Which leads me to believe the F8x will be faster than our cognitive dissonance will allow because it's not the S65 But if I only had 30G and wanted a badass V8 then by all means the mustang could suffice |

I'm not really sure I like the aesthetic changes of the new Mustang. Just like I'm not really sure I really like the aesthetic changes of the M cars either. New modesls of cars I like usually have to be in production a couple of years for me to warm up to them. The problem I have with the new mustang thus far is; to me, it appears they've attempted to copy too many different cars. In the profile picture on the first page of this thread it resembles a 911 shape to me. In the video above it reminds me of a GTR shape in the front end. Look at the overall shape of the two grilles on the mustang above. Imagine if the center section of bumper wasn't there (I know it is). Doesn't thank resemble the huge GTR grille? A black mustang would certainly look that way from a distance where it would be somewhat difficult to discern the bumper from the grilles.

Of course it will look like a car. I want it to look like a mustang; not with a profile like a 911 and a front end like a GTR and a rear end like something else, or hood bumps that resemble a Mercedes. I'm good with my Mustangs looking like Fords.

Regular cars like Mustangs are getting so good that 'premium' cars like M3/4 can no longer justify charging premium dollars for being merely good enough. BMW will have to up their game in a big way to convince the buyers to pay the brand premium. And this is going to be more and more difficult for premium brands to do with each model year, as regular manufacturers are getting better and better with their new models.

So, when working at AM he took a new GT and Boss out on the track quite a few times. He maintains that a Mustang GT will absolutely hang with the e92M on a track assuming drivers are equal. He feels the Boss would def have a solid advantage. One guys opinion, but a credible one in my opinion. The new Mustang should def have a nice advantage over the e9x M on track. M4? We will see! Side note: the Boss302 has a 7500 rpm redline. With a tune many people are running them to 8200. The 302R has a factory 8400 rev limit. 11:1, 444 hp, 4 cam variable timing etc etc. Its an amazing and deadly reliable engine. I can't wait to drive the new Mustang!
