2011 Mustang GT vs. 2011 BMW M3 Coupe

Red370 · 08-23-2010, 08:04 PM

same 60 times and a better 1320 for 1/3 the price... seems a shrewd buy for anyone really.

You have got to love when a company proves that they can hit a performance mark at half the cost.

for the money yea..no brainer ...I would take the Mustang..in fact thinking of getting one of these or the NEW Boss 302 which come out next yr.. unbelieveable how good Ford made this 2011's the GT is the bomb...I believe it about it being that close to performance like the beemer..driven both and its that close..

Go drive one and that will put it to rest. You'll know you either want it or you don't.

OK, to sum up you can buy an M3 ...or...a Mustang GT AND a 370Z.

Another nice thing about the Mustang is that it can run on 91 or 87 octane, the engine auto adjusts and according to Ford, you go from 412 to something like 405 HP (not a bad penalty at all).

Z and the M3 are better looking IMO. But damn... id give up some sexy for some M3 killing straight line performance. Anyone else suddenly feeling the need for some backseats ?

Look at the sig.

Nitex · 08-24-2010, 10:35 AM

^^ hah well... that didn't really come to me as that big of a surprise. Considering your name and all! I always loved my 2000 GT, but i just know if i throw down on a 5.0, a 400Z TT will be released with 500hp

NISSAN doesn't even support us in the aftermarket. I think we might get a 371 Z with 333 HP.

If they gave us a 560Z with the 5.6L I probably wouldn't be leaving for a Mustang.

FWIW, I'm named after a WWII aircraft.

I wish I could get my wife to come around to liking Mustangs, but she is dead set against them. I'd trade the G37 in tomorrow if she would approve.

If you can afford a GTR, just buy the M3 and be done with it!
