M2 vs Mustang GT

[Glenn G]

Typically the gas is much better quality (at least in Germany ) than the U.S.. I have never gotten a bad tank of 98 ron (U.S. 93) But got some really crappy premium in the U.S. a few times in various states (Kansas and Connecticut being notable). The Export GT is detuned to reduce it's co2/km emissions and can only be had with 3.31 gears to improve fuel economy. I can walk a Euro GT from a roll (FBO E30 tuned MT base EBM)where a U.S. Spec GT PP will put a car or two on me before I start reeling them in at 130+ mph. Dyno tests have shown. Euro GTs to be closer to 400 crank than the claimed 417.

How did you figure out all seasons ? It's a European Mustang, those come with summer P-Zeros.... But I agree, shifting is done at little relaxed pace...

My bad. I was thinking of the British Camaro/Mustang video making the rounds.

I do like this EVO channel, however the M2 in Auto vs Manual is not a good match up.
I also feel the Driver in the Mustang was not the best most auto magazines can get that time down by 1 or 2 seconds

Huge fan of the M2 and the exterior body design as well as the quad exhaust

I like where at about 1:27 they were talking about the M2's launch control system (and how it lets you set engine rpm), but showing the mustangs. Can you actually set the rpm in the M2's launch control?

Wonder what the DA was. 13.4 does seems little slow for the 1/4

auto vs manual with a shitty driver driving the manual does not show what the mustang can do.

And lol at the BMW fans in here saying the m2 would still win manual vs manual, really? That m2 has a DCT and it ran 12.7. A DCT in a mustang would have put that car in the low 12s.

Manual in both cars with a good driver my money is on the mustang.

M2 is a freak of nature. It also cost just about that as well. I didn't expect the Mustang, even the GT to hold up much to that. It just has a fat ass.

a mustang GT with an extra 12k in pounds (15k USD) for mods is also a freak of nature for straight line.

Crooked seat LOL.

The terrible RHD headers play a big part. Our AUS cars only come with the 3.55 gears. Either way manual vs manual the bimmer still wins
