We head to the race track with professional driver Randy Pobst to see if Ford’s reborn Mustang GT can keep up with Bavaria’s finest, the BMW M3 Coupe. Read the full story here: www.motortrend.com Shot by: Mike Suggett, Gordon Green & Duane Sempson Edited by: Mike Suggett
Enjoy the sun without getting sunburned. The glass roof is designed for comfort, with only a two-degree temperature variation compared to the standard roof, and features SPF50-equivalent tinting that helps block out 96 percent of the sun’s ultraviolet rays (a retractable sun shade is included).
Constructed of laminated safety glass, the glass roof is also designed to maintain excellent interior acoustics and quietness, thanks to a built-in polyvinyl layer. On top of all that, Mustang and Shelby models equipped with this roof maintain their five-star crash-test ratings. The glass roof is now available on both Mustang and Shelby models for 2011.

@kaushikcobra So the M3 automatically has to be (wivestale) because it’s a Bimmer?
@acs4llc It can’t be, it’s a FORD..
@kaushikcobra The Mustang only exposed the M3 for the fraud that it is. Or is the Mustang that great… 1 of the greatest cars ever???
I would still get the M3.
Best car ever,
@strek0655 have you seen an premium gt interior? there’s really no difference in comfort unless you really care about air-conditioned seats if the m3 even has that, a relative of mine owns the new m3 and from what i can tell everyone is over exaggerating about its interior, the mustang interior looks better and feels just as good and you don’t live in your car (at least i hope not) so you can but that 20+k you could be saving (optioned premium gt price) into downpayment of a house or car payment
thats it im buying the 5.0, better looking, nicer interior (optioned premium) and available bolt on superchargers from whipple less then 7k for 525hp with warranty, thats 47k for a fully optioned exterior 525hp mustang 5.0 and the bmw still over 12k more
@glock19x300 well yeah, it made respect ford in some way, but that would be the only model i would buy, only the newer ones with a v8, not a v6
i think one of the best mustang gt ever build so far…i know theres a lot of ford haterz out there but this shut there mouths up…
@demonseed19
M3- 1:27.67
Mustang-1:27.76
quien gano? no importa por cuanto pero gano
@demonseed19 If the test was conducted by Walter Röhrl around Nurnburgring I KNOW that the difference would be larger. The mustang is getting better, but dont forget that the test didn’t bother with interior design and luxury, as the BMW is far superior in that aspect.
lets say what jeremy clarkson and richard hammond have to say about this new pony!
@MrKA24DE per eso gano verdad
@strek0655 yea thts y it only won by .8 seconds and the mustang beat it everywhere else huh…. dont get me wrong i love the bmw… but ford threw a rock up their ass
Motor trend is so biased it hurts!
BMW will always reign superior over ford when it comes to performance cars (and I´m talking about real racing, track racing!)
@epicWINNER101
That’s the “Competition Package” option by BMW costs $2500, it’s lower and has more aggressive suspension, lighter rims and better tires and handle much better than the stock M3, without this option, the stock Michelin tires the M3 would have lost badly
It’s going be hard for Top Gear to make up some bulls shit to trash this Mustang
I have an 02 gt and the dependability has been amazing.I have really thrashed it too.If your concerned about quality look no further as the 11 is much better than mine.
all of this with a solid rear axle. in your face jeremy clarkson
mustang no vale verga ahahahaha.
mustang rules!
