Yea i watched this today, its amazing how far the mustang has come. I think the electronic steering is a big plus too...Good job Ford on getting caught up in technology

After watching that and reading the specs, I think if the Mustang had the large 13.8 inch rotors in rear, It would have braked better and not nose dived.
For being 25k cheaper, The Mustang did awesome.

‎25k less for the GT and the M3 takes it by .09
but the question is how would the mustang be with a 2k brake set up and some suspention work and still cost under 38k

For the extra 25k the M3 should have walked over the GT so if it was up to to me Id get the GT. But if it was up to a friend of mine who is going to school to work on BMWs, Im sure he would choose the M3 as going from his posts on FB BMWs seem to be the king of all cars.

Better question would be....how ugly would it get if they put the new Boss up against the M3?

That was a cool vid. I'm really impressed with the '11GT the more vids I see of it. I'm not saying $35K is too much (it is'nt) but if I could afford it I'd be checking out some Ford dealerships.
