Amazing to see the handling of the new Mustang. We all know Ford can make them go fast, but wow.
I will say this. How old is the M3 now... 2-4 years? BMW set the mark, and just now the Ford caught it. Mercs AMG did not and the IS-F could not match its overall performance. Track and straight line.
But the problem is that BMW will just up the bar next time and it will be 3-4 years after the new M3 is out that everyone will catch up.
Amazing performance from a NON Cobra Mustang. I wonder what the new Cobra will be like?!?!?!

What is even moar impressive is the fact that just SIMPLE bolt-ons will put this car on an even higher performance pedestal:
If it handles this well sitting that high with stock suspension... A set of mere Eibachs will yield even better stats!
Exhaust + cold-air intake + ecu/chip? Should easily yank out another 25-30hp and similar torque gains all for @ $1,500!!!
Gotta love that American Muscle.
