Let me try and point out a few things hopefully you'll understand the first time;
MSRP- GT500 $43,000 USD vs BMW 535 $49,400 (+ $2800 for sports package if you want to handle SLIGHTLY BETTER from factory & 18" rims etc.. Yes a $50k USD car comes with 17" rims as standard equipment)
For $10,000 USD I'd hope it have x10 the luxuries
Power GT500 500hp vs 535 300 hp (If you want a V8 in the BMW add $18k)
The stats on the GT500 vs M5 althou not posted by you are wrong.
The shop I go to tested the GT500 here and he almost hit 115mph.
The BMW has 300 hp so do I. It weighs slightly less than my car, and and V8 > V6.
I hit when it was BONE STOCK with less than 3000mi standard driving experience 102.8 mph in the 1/4 mi.
Somehow this BMW is doing 106. BS.
Anyone else reading this FYI, if your going to post times from Motortrend for example than make sure both cars tested are by Motortrend.
Dont go picking and choosing from any magazine, because ever magazine company has their own test facility at different locations, altitude, drivers and testing PHILOSOPHY's.
Some company's powershift the shit out of the car while others post times an above average driver can accomplish etc.
hah i didnt post any stats.it was a ford guy posting stats of one of fords best cars vs not one of bmw's best car..u can call BS all u want.i didnt post the stats.and like i said if a 500bhp stang can only just beat a 300bhp bmw.there is somthing wrong BIG time with the gt500

and for the price yes it would ride better have alot better luxury inside and more then a mustang IMO.but bmw's tend to do that anyway.they are known for it.

the only car worth taking any note to is a ford gt.and thats it IMO.but mustangs have never done nothing for me.

if your opinion is differnt thats your choice.


BMW 335 twin turbo is I6 not a V6.
