The point is, two companies built the best four seat, 2 door, v8, 6 speed coupes that they could. And the cheap American may have upstaged the Bav in a suit. And thats kinda cool.
:dunno:
That isn't really true imo. Ford could do much better...the idea behind the mustang is to give people an option for a performance car that is relatively cheap. If Ford put $15-20k more into the mustang I'm sure they could come up with a car that feels as solid and easy to drive as the M3.
I also believe that if BMW took $15-20k off the price of the M3 and put less attention on the drive "feel" then they could easliy make a car around the price of the mustang for around the same performance. The two companies have different philosophies though.
Success represents the 1% of your work which results from the 99% that is called failure.
