I love Mustangs. I’ve owned many, and will probably own many more. My most recent was a GT350 — amazing machine. But I don’t really think there is any realistic cross shopping between a M4 and a Mach 1. You’ve got what… $20k at least between them?

I still very well might have bought one if I hadn't gotten lucky with picking up my G80. But that's just me. Our two Utah friends in this video certainly didn't seem to care about the rental car insides of the Mustang compared to how much they hate the nose of the of G82. Fun times. Also, the price-gap with the cars feature-matched is much less than 20k. It was about 8k when priced the Mach 1 vs my car. The insides of our cars even with just Extended Leather are well worth 8k.

You're right about the interiors. They are not bad when you consider the level of performance you can get for the price, but if you are used to a high quality interior then it can be difficult to accept. I certainly wouldn't be satisfied daily driving one, but the fantastic chassis and glorious flat plane crank V8 in the GT350 helped me tolerate the cockpit.

Have yet to watch but I'm frequently skeptical of these guys, they often don't know what they're talking about and rarely say much of substance.
Eg in their 3-series vs Giulia test, they claimed the 3er was significantly lighter. According to each manufacturer's website however, the 3-series is a smidge heavier.

Comparing an M4 with a Mustang is like comparing Beef with Tofu...they may have the same number of proteins...but not really the same taste

It's almost in the muscle car category. Used to be like a chisel before but now a fat 3 series that can dance a bit.

Muscle cars have more than 6 cylinders fellas. Cmon now. I've owned mustangs and bimmers for 25 years. As a bigger guy the interiors and seating always is an easy win for BMW. But the growl and torque of a blown V8 cannot be matched IMO.

The Mustang sounds spectacular which will make it sell. Can't get past the Mustang interior. |
