I will definitely shop the new mustang. I think the car looks great and will be a performer.
It would be great to have a car with the performance of the m3 that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I track/autox my car and it's a lot easier mentally to thrash on a 40k car than it is a 70k car. The mustang aftermarket is so much better. You can get any part under the sun for a great deal. Go look up prices on BBKs for m3s vs mustangs. That track pack with the recaro and brembos will be a better track car out of the box than the new m3 I bet. Unless the M engineers have figured out that it makes sense to put good brakes on a track ready car out of the box. I mean the e92 stock brakes are a joke. The difference in the interior between the next mustang and m3 will be negligible. I recently had a service loaner 328. The interior was cheap as hell. The cheesey screen sticking out of the dash looks worse than modern toyotas. I think a lot of guys on this forum are blinded by badges. BMWs are great cars. I love my e90, that I got used but I could never justify paying 72k (original msrp) for this car it's just a joke. I could also never justify paying an arm and a leg for the next M3. Whereas the mustang is priced very aggressively. Against ford I would say american car companies talk a big game but when it comes down to it they cheap out in significant ways. I find that people always have to make some excuse for American cars. As an American I sincerely hope the new stang wows me. I would happily buy the car and enjoy it. I do think its nice that the mustang will be more common. Having driven nicer german cars for a while can be a pain in the ass. I has one of my cars pissed on, and had two others spit on. Not to mention the occasional shitty comments. I would suspect people wouldn't be as envious or negative toward a stang. That is nice too. Also re affording an M3. Most people who have enough money to write a check for the M3 are likely to be frugal. That's how they got their money (and kept it) in the first place. As some other poster alluded to. Most people I know who could easily buy m3s rather get a good deal than have a brand/badge and bragging rights. |

With that in mind, I will still consider the car as the higher end "specialty" models come out. Looking for a good interior fix. Utlimately, however, you can still have a nice custom interior made for $20k.

And that's the bottom line. It's not fair to beat up on a car of half the price. Compare it to a 428i or stripper 435i. Has nothing to do with the Ms. And damn, that thing looks good. I like it a lot. I hope Ford has the balls to make a 4 door version this time around (gran coupe-ish). It would appeal to a lot more people and would look sweet! |

My bet is that this Mustang will be more fun to drive than the M4 in every aspect. Turbo BMWs are fast and capable.. but they are sterile and boring.
My wife has an ST. You'd be amazed the strides Ford has made in quality. It's extremely surprising.

Let's say my parents buy me a 7-Eleven. They are going to buy it for me and it's gonna run it self? I don't know why y'all get mad when young people are doing shit that took you guys so long. This part isn't directed towards you unless you're an older person. I can afford an m3. What you said is you can afford it you wouldn't be thinking about getting a mustang. A lot of people are. So you should get off your high horse with the 04 m3 and possibly stock 5 series that has rims and tint and you think it's modded.

As for the looks this picture of Mustang looks better then the F series BMW. The BMW with its pathetic EPS setup and overly soft nature of cars is not the best anymore. If this car is benched to be better then E9x M3 in all apsects and comes ahead of the E9x M3 as an overall pkg. Then that in my mind will be hell of a job by Ford.. I would take it in a heart beat. The new M4/M3 are going to be super expensive and have a lot to prove. No one knows how the new turbo engine will be. How will they make the horrible EPS setup to give proper feel and feedback. If anything the M3/M4 has a lot to prove after the initial debacles of BMW in producing F series car that should have never left the factory with overly soft suspension and life less steering and cheaper quality of plastic materials used in interior and at best luke warm looks. Also, basic F 30/F32 335i gets no upgrades in power since 2007. In fact the torque is rated 5 lb-ft lower. The least they could have done is give it 30-50 extra hp and torque in base 335i version. But no they will rather sell you an expensive tune to bump power up instead. The E9x 335i vs E46 330i was a huge jump in power not so the case here. I am overall impressed with GM and now if Ford can do what GM is doing with C7. It will be awesome. I am already planning on getting a C7 instead of a M3/M4.

That's a nice looking car! Period!!! Sometimes writers, critics, etc. want to be sooo deep and philosophical.
Bro chill out and just call a spade a spade...it's a nice car! The end. |
