I know the new Mustangs will put down similar numbers to an M3, but it's the way they feel when they do it that makes all the difference.
This and the lack of a 2-door hatch are my reasons for passing on the R. I love the way they drive when new, but I'm scared about long-term reliability...and that's from a BMW owner.

I haven't driven a Mustang GT but I believe you in the handling department. Nothing I ever owned has handled like a BMW. And I've had 3 different BMW's in my past. The 135i is the most fun, most powerful and most expensive (for maintenance) car I ever owned.
