    i have a great amount of respect for the 2011+ mustang gt. problem is...ford sees itself in a certain vein. it doesn't see itself competing in the evo/gt-r. segments. which is beyond stupid, imho.

    The m3 is a performance car, the boss mustang is a performance car. The boss mustang outperforms an m3.

    Ford engineers planned on building a car that outperformed the m3.

    Stop trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

    mustang is a performance car. bentley GT is a performance car. they're not competing products.

    Yes ford set out to beat the m3 in performance and they did that. However, their marketing team does not think they are all of a sudden going to convert M3 owners to mustang owners. That also doesnt mean that there will not be a single person that would buy an M3 but instead will buy a mustang.

    btw I am potentially one of those people.

    The mustang gt competes with the m3 and the boss smashes it.

    Since Ford put in real nice leather heated seats, duel climate control, Bluetooth, navigation w/ voice commands and sync by microsoft. Tell what the m3 has that the mustang doesn't.
