I agree. I have been renting the "base" 300 plus bhp V6 Mustangs on my business trip and they drive great. Lots of fun tp dddrive and well made to boot.

Maybe Tony, but that's stock v stock. You think this 800HP version will be able to go around corners and lay that power down? Doubt it. It will turn out to maybe be a great drift car, but road racer? Unlikely. Besides, competitors have been gunning for the M3 for more than 20 years and still have yet to beat it, giving it a run for it's money is not the same as beating it.

Very true, however, there's always something about them that nags at me and it became clear to me the other day.
I was driving home from work and I saw the physical representation of why I will NEVER buy an American car again: I was driving along side a new (sticker in window) CTS, and it had the WHOLE GOLD PKG!!!!! Gold mirror covers, gold trim, gold exhaust tips, even a gold grille.
I threw up a little in my mouth and realized instantly that no matter the actual performance numbers it will always be the distant trailer park cousin to the 5er in the automotive world.
