It's very impressive for ford to make the GT competitive with a M3. The Boss is really the competition for that class. You can't say the M3 is not a nice car but the GT is nearly half the price. Now if you look at it as performance per dollar spent, then the Mustang is way ahead. I have driven both, as well as some porsche's and they really are different in the way they feel so I think this is why there are so many opinions. It really doesn't bother me how much people think the M3, Camaro etc... or any other car for that matter are better than a Mustang. I could have gotten a M3 or anything in between, but I wanted a GT all my life and I got one.

Well actually my wife bought one for me but that's another story.

Overall agree with the above. And for most people who bring the cars out on the track, it's largely the driver, not so much the car, that makes fast laps. I've beat up on Audi R8's and then in another session been beaten up by an R8 driven by a much more experienced driver. Same goes for various other cars... Could barely keep up with a Lotus Elise but then kept pace with a C6 Z06 at Watkins Glen (which is a track that rewards high power cars).

Anyways, I'd happily take a M3. It was out of my budget. Mustang was a fantastic deal and I love it.
