2011 Ford Mustang vs 2010 BMW M3 - Click above to watch video after the jump
Ask and ye shall receive. Well, not always. We could probably ask to borrow a 2010 BMW M3 (http://www.autoblog.com/model/m3), a 2011 Ford Mustang GT (http://www.autoblog.com/model/mustang) and private access to both a drag strip and a road course until our faces turned blue, but that doesn't mean we'd get any of the four anytime soon. Fortunately, that's not the case with the goons at Motor Trend. They've set about answering the question (http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes/1010_2011_2011_ford_mustang_gt_vs_2011_bmw_m3_comp arison/index.html) on everyone's mind once the specs (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/16/2011-ford-mustang-gt-vs-2010-bmw-m3-tie-game/) for these two mighty coupes turned out to be so similar - who's top dog?
In classic MT fashion, the two cars were put through all of the necessary paces to drum up semi-official figures. Both the bad Bavarian and the muscle-bound Blue Oval were tested on 0-60, quarter mile, skid pad, figure eight and lap times, and the results are, well, they're surprising. We won't ruin the surprise by telling you who comes out ahead of the curve, but we will say that we know where we'd put our money if it were our name on the line. Hit the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/24/video-mt-pits-mustang-gt-5-0-against-bmw-m3/#continued) for the flicks. Thanks for the tips, everyone!
