But there are a few that slip by that sell. Like the GT500 but even that car lacks some of the luxuries that the M3 contain.
Exactly. No one here given the same price would take the GT over an M3. The M3 imo is a special car. However the GT offers similar performance and larger mod potential for half the price! That's huge!

i don't know if the M3 is special, but it is no doubt a few rungs above a stang

they both win, but they're just in different class. just because my Z is capable or running 11's, im not gonna compare it to a GT-R.

To me what makes the m3 a special car is the high revving v8. Love it.

I see what your saying but your 11 second modded z is hardly a match for a stock gtr. A stock m3 vs a stock GT is, paper for paper, very comparable in all things besides fit and finish. Very different circumstances imo.

this is my first time reading this thread and i am highly disturbed.

is the new V6 rustang really better than the 370Z?

if so i think suicide for all Nissan execs is in-order.

i just hate, have hated, and will always hate mustangs.

it is the ultimate douche car IMO.

the mustang could be made of carbon fiber, have 600hp, get 80mpg, be made of gold, and cost $10,000 and i would still never be caught dead in one.

It all depends on the Mustang. Some were works of art:



Some are... well, not:



Personally, I don't like the new Mustang styling. It all looks the exact same as the Charger, Challenger and Camaro to me.
