No, they are not neck and neck. An M3 would destroy a 5.0 in a race. Don't let the numbers of a couple of laps they posted fool you. Focus in on the behavior of the Mustang at speed, the pro driver said it was all over the place. Wait for Automobile, Car & Driver, or Road & Track comparisons.

Again, Motor Trend is a worthless POS rag, the worst car mag on the planet. They are laughed at by other mags all the time. Petersen Publications is a joke. Their biggest asset is Hot Rod Magazine. That says it all.

Not a slight of the Mustang, it's a great car, and wicked bang for the buck, just like a 370Z in that regard. But it's no BMW M3.
