It's starting to look like the 5.0L Mustang is America's M3 (they mentioned that in the video) because it performs nearly identically in every aspect. I was shocked that the Mustang has a shorter stopping distance than the M3.

Don't get me wrong I love the new 5 liter v8 in the stang, that makes it the best performance car (straight line) for its price but quality wise its non-comparable to the G.

255/255 vs 245/265.

The M3 does have WAY larger brakes in the back...

Mustang also has a fatter powerband, and is lighter than the M3....

Again, I wanna see what the Boss 302 can do, cuz its has minimal power upgrades, but supposed to have some significant suspension and aero gains.
