Everyone will have a difference of opinion on the way a car looks, but the one thing we can all agree on is that BMW M sure knows how to build a motor. That G82 freaking flies.
One thing to note is how the G series seems to be able to put it's power down. Granted the power curves are different than the F series cars but i'm wondering if there is some suspension tinkering and tires that help. What happens when you turn up the boost? Hopefully it will still put power down because that would be amazing.

I wasn't surprised at the roll races on paper it's a 250hp difference in reality it's probably more like 180hp difference. I was surprised at the drag race I was expecting the mustang to reel it in. The fact that M4 kept the lead was impressive. I would like to see the mustang roll race the M5CS

All these tests against cars making 100-200 more HP than the M4 are impressive. But if the RWD version can leave the line that cleanly just imagine that AWD version coming soon!

2020 sales: Mustang 80,577 3 series 41,442 I also feel like there is a more noticeable difference between any 3 series and an M3 than a gt350 and any other Mustang. But I'm bias. |

Its a shame the GT500 went to auto only. Ya ya, auto is faster, but if I am getting a supercharged v8 I want to be able to shift it. Also, shocked the M4 launched so well, I couldnt get my F80 to hook for the life of me.

You can't compare an eco boost Mustang to the gt350. Like comparing the 330 to the m3. A gt to a 350 is much closer, just like the m340 is much closer to an m3 but still very different. Apple to Apple indeed. I am bmw guy and can't wait to get my g80, but when I drove the gt350 I was so impressed I went out and got one. I was the first one to bash mustangs, lol but they really built something special there. |

Aren't the front engined Ferraris FMR layout? I'm assuming that also helps with acceleration from a dig from the better weight balance compared to a Mustang which is strictly FR based.

I feel the opposite, I'll probably never buy a Mustang but I can spot a Shelby from far away, something different and more aggressive about them. Saw a GT500 recently and when he hit it, it sounded amazing, kind of an evil roar haha. M3 does look different than a 3 series due to the wide fenders, F32 on the other hand looks a lot like F82. I wonder how G42 will look like with G80/G82 style grilles.

Yes they didnt create Ford M and sell it to BWM to become BMW M but you know what I meant, BMW's M brand started with Ex Ford Engineers.

Agreed, At the end of the day they are both good cars! They both get performance right.

These comparisons are silly. Comparing the old model with the new model of either to themselves would be the only relevant data I would care about. How many people are torn between a Ford and a BMW and really need the comparison? Most people are fans of one or the other. The point of the video is for the owners of either one to see weather or not these clowns think there car trumps the other. |

Im a car guy, I've owned performance Audis, bmws, Subarus and dodges. I enjoy a car for what it is, not so I can say I own a certain brand or fit in with a certain type of fanboy. That said, I'll probably be trading in my Shelby for the g80. Don't need those two in my garage lol. |
