First, the s550 based Mustang is 100% new.
So, those who are trying to knock it, will look very ignorant come release. There is enough information to easily understand what this s550 is.

Secondly, the s550 based Mustang did not gain 200lbs, but only 87lbs. But take a look at the EB's weight (3,532lbs), compare it to the M235i. How much weight did the 2-series gain, over the 1-series..?

Thirdly, the EB Mustang is $14,000 less than the M235i and comes with a LSD.. which actually makes it nearly $18k less. (How many upgrades can you buy for a Mustang for $15k... )

Forth, If you want MORE, you can always get the V8 GT w/Performance pack for $37k... which will have 100 horsepower more than the M235i.



I can sense many of you have not invested enough time researching the new s550. I was never a Mustang fan, never cared about a Mustang, would never drive a Mustang... that is why I paid $52k for a BMW 135is.

But..





I see the M235i & EB Mustang as EXACT competitors. I am waiting patiently for the M2, but the vids of the Mustang GT350 are mind blowing.. I don't think the Mustang GT and the BMW M235i are even in the same league performance wise. ANd it still remains to be seen about the fit & finish of the car. But I've seen & touched the new interior at a cruise and those materials are no less than My 135is. So..


Also, for every red-blooded human: (GT350 vs M4 ..?)
For every read blooded human:




There should be a M235i vs sub-forum..


.
I knew your name was familiar from M6G (<- oppo). Two more vids of the GT350.

Best part in this one is 00:46-00:54. That exhaust is perfect imo.


Best part here is also around the same timestamp starting around 00:48. That thing keeps winding out... I wonder what that mule's redline is.
