Test driven back to back by both writers and a pro driver, both cars the same day/conditions? Trust me, MotorTrend is the biggest M3 fanboy sight out there and they were even impressed. The review just backs up what the numbers already say, These cars are neck and neck.

No. Obviously, you are wrong, Lug. What you meant to say was, "DERR, da mustang is slower den bofe da M3 and da Z car. DERRRRRRRR!!!"

I'm just translating.

It's obvious that Motor Trend made everything up because they were running up against the deadline and were on a coke/hooker binge.

Wow, congrats on the new car! I am waiting a year or two for the refresh when they hopefully drop that stupid mast antenna and make a few other changes. Otherwise I would own one now!

I'll wait til Gran Turismo 5 comes out to determine which is the better car. So which car magazines tend to be the most unbiased?

its true, MT sucks BMW's dick. So to hear them give Ford props is actually impressive.

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.
