So I was inspired by a magazine article written by a European Magazine comparing the 2013 Boss 302 and the European competitors, where the Boss 302 competes but compared to the other cars, it was less refined (interior and a bit of driving) but I had some time to create at least the a measurement comparison chart (which I will add and update accordingly) to see how the new Mustang competes with the others, just in case some of you are cross shopping like I was.

Now my question is...how do you think it would stack up against these other 3?

Link to the mentioned article.

I'm sure the numbers in width and height fields on both the M4 and C63 are switched..

The height of the C63 and M4 are listed at over 70 inches which is quite the typo. 3,727lbs for the 2015?

Oh whoops, yeah I'll fix that when I get back to a computer.

The weight is 3727 for a manual GT taken off the dealer spec chart released awhile back

Well that was embarrassing. Thanks for the catches.

Fixed!....

The part that I kind of regret not having on this new chart is actually the 2015 C63 as they are switching to the 4.0L BiTurbo V8 which will produce just as much if not more HP/Torque then the current motor.

I'm eager to see this as well. I want to know how the GT350 will compare to all of them. I love the Audi, but after seeing the weight, it kinda threw me off, though it does pack a little more power to make up for it...I'm trying to figure out what to spend my life savings on...LOL

If I recall correctly, the reason the Audi is able to keep up is because it is AWD

So, the Mustang is the longest, but has the least rear leg room. Craziness. I will give it a little bit of slack as it has the shortest wheelbase but that length lol
