  • I'm quite sure this was a played fake. Mustang has no chance against BMW.

  • @jamesfs912 I own a 2010 E92 M3 coupe with carbon fiber roof

  • good*

  • people saying m3 is better blah blah the m3 is getting compared to a car thats not even in the same price range cmon wake up lool go job ford :D

  • The mustang sucks ass, the interior is garbage and made of cheap plastic, the car depreciates faster than enron, and the mustang looks like ugly as balls shit after a couple of years. The car is crap in my opinion, and it will always try to beat the car that sets the standard, and The M3 GTS would eat up this piece of shit 5.0, and if you want to use the brick on wheels called the shelby gt500, which is supercharged, then you put it up against an M3 ESS Supercharged and would rip all those cars.

  • @jpdrummer86 lol the m3 is an overpriced piece of shit, it got raped by the mustang at laguna seca, I could buy 2 mustangs for the price of the m3. after 100k miles the bmw motor falls apart. who would pay that much money for a shitty car

  • @HottestGuyOnInternet ahhhhh,someone who likes it...

    some of you americans are fk racists,and the M3´s engine does not go bust in 100K

    and btw (M3 is more expensive because its interior is nicer,more built quality)

    dont get me wrong,i love the mustang,but i hate when you guys say that the M3 is way to expensive

  • @HottestGuyOnInternet Ford is so much better.

  • @HottestGuyOnInternet um, no. The m3 is better in the track, in a dragrace and in everypossible way. It is also more reliable and does not break down after 100k. You could say plenty of other cars that cost more than the m3 but it wil be the same in 1/4 stock. Dumb nut, do some reserch before you post.

  • @jpdrummer86 car depreciates faster than enron? God damn boy you're dumb. Look up anything about the resale values with mustangs over the past 7 years. And do you REALLY want to put any car under 80k against a 2013 Ford Mustang GT500? Pretty sure that brick on wheels has 650+hp and I'm not a physics major or anything but 650hp in anything smaller than a big rig is probably gonna haul ass.

  • @jpdrummer86 I love this classic response, it's like your saying how dare that low life under dog, pos plastic shitstang rust bucket on wheel challenge the mighty M3, it's a wake up call my friend. They didnt make this car to compete with the M3, get your G-String out of a bunch, it's main rival is still the Camaro. This test was just done to see where the GT stacked, the M3 is still a better all around car (for nearly 30K more) some people are just hurt over the fact that the GT touched the M3.

  • @jpdrummer86 Ummm... the mustang is not a "piece of shit"? What kind of car do you own because it seems your standards are extremely high(completely unreasonable)

    .

  • Both cars can get easily raped by a Spirra EX (twin turbo V6 from Hyundai).

  • @RamirezRobertoPerez hyundai? who cares

  • Is the mustang breaking at 2:20? ...or it's just me?

  • Funny thing is this is 2011 with the 5.0 with 412hp and 390lb/f torque.. the new 2013 Mustang 5.0 is 420HP with 400lb/ft torque.

  • my heart is with the mustang

  • kinda odd comparing the top of the line BMW with not quite the top of the line mustang, I mean really go dollar for dollar and lets see what the comparable S197 does.

  • @eclypse3d Boss 302 vs M3.....A bit obvious who would win as the Boss was designed to kill the M3.

  • @alchoholicsementhful

    And also the fact that the 302 is barely useable on the road while the M3 can be used everywhere.

  • @AKCanadian Have you driven one on the road?

  • @Metalguy696

    M3 yes, Boss 302 just reviews.

  • @eclypse3d

    This is the whole point of the video. Showing the Average Mustang can compete if not BEAT a top of the line Bavarian Manure Wagon. If you wanted top of the line from Ford we could always put our new 650HP Shelby for the ride? Then again an M6 might be needed or M5 to compete with that but.. they both would still loose sadly against a Shelby. All this video is comparing is bang for your buck.. nothing more.

  • This iz why I want a mustang

  • and with the shelby gt 500 ? :)

  • Correction Motortrend

  • Haha I call BS on this drag race. First of all in the First race the Mustang driver was shifting like chit and 2nd one he brakes in the middle of the Race? Car and Drive you officially resieve a Fail for trying to set this up.

  • Mustang has bigger engine and more torque and it's faster only 0.1 second in drag race... but, on track m3 is a beast !!!! M cars nave great chassis...Thats why they are faster then the others

  • i think he forgot to press the ///m button

  • BOTH OF THIS CARS WOULD BE RAPED BY A SPIRRA EX (V6 TWIN TURBO HYUNDAI ENGINE) LOL BEATEN BY A HYUNDAI. :D

  • Wow, You can clearly see the mustang hit it's brakes and then you can see the tail lights actually come on as he taps the brake pedal!

  • M3 it's better

  • @DevPack. All this test was about was drag racing. Sure let's put a shitty interior in the m3, maybe lose the stylish exterior with some sheet metal, and then put shit brakes and a solid rear axle! Voila, poor quality American car that can go fast in a straight line but fails in every other category.

  • @wretcheddrake. I'll have you know that I drive an E46 M3 and I wouldn't consider myself a douche. I suppose I just enjoy the finer things in life. Grow up and get some taste in cars. M Power!

  • @wretcheddrake. Well I'll have you know I drive an E46 M3 and I wouldn't say I'm douchey. I just suppose I have more taste and enjoy the finer things in life. M Power!

  • The Mustang was braking during the drag race, refer to 2:21 , but it still appeared to come out slightly ahead, even though it was considered a tie during that race.

  • @huckster78. That's the whole point of the M3! It's understated, where as the people that drive mustangs just want attention from the masses that know nothing about cars. Only true enthusiasts see why the M3 is better in every aspect

  • @whssyamaha Because it's a highly douchey car? Anyone who drives an M3 is a gigantic tool and you know it's true.

  • @whssyamaha its better in every way..except it loses.

  • lol new jersey vs conneticut

  • around mustang there is great comercial lots of money in us but in evo magazine you will see that on track m3 was 4 sec faster than BOSS version .... and in fifth gear they say that big shit

    yes maybe because is cheap i don't know i have a chance to drive m3 e92 is very fast and good respond for mustang i don't know i did't try it

  • M POVER

  • 2:20 why Mustang was braking?? This video is BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This video reminds me of how they get 0-60 times. Just attempt after attempt until they record the fastest time of the day, then fanboys brag about them like their a standard feature on the car.

  • the nose dropped when he tapped the brakes mmmmmm

  • why the ford mustang was braking at 2:21 in the middle of the drag race??

    very similar cars but these drag races are a bit staged

  • @choosenaddict just the light reflecting off the taillights

  • @choosenaddict yea i noticed that too

  • @choosenaddict i no right, import cant beet muscle, on a straight up drag

  • @choosenaddict It isn't braking the tail lights are just catching the sun when it shifts

  • @24thMandark I'm pretty sure that looks like breaking, man. O.o

  • @choosenaddict

    Wasn't breaking dude. New stangs used LED rear lights.. its was the suns reflection :) At least its clean right? haha

  • @mustangtibor Kinda looks like the back end is jumping up though too.

  • @choosenaddict When you have a framerate that doesn't match up with the refresh rate of LED taillights you get what looks like flashing taillights.

  • Awesome drag race, but with a finish that close, it all comes down to the driver.

  • Pause at 0:52. Now thats why the m3 costs more. Look how much nicer the interior quality on the bmw looks. The stitched real leather shift boot, and knob vs the stangs plastic looking shift boot and anal bead looking knob. Then theres the console itself, the bmws looks smooth and sexy with the idrive controls while the mustangs got the crappy ripples in the console to imitate real leather. No doubt about it, the M3 is the real head turner. Mustangs at the end of the day are BUDGET performance.

  • @shahbaz99 if you wanna pay 20 grand for nicer interior go ahead

  • @titusdrakemovies and the 8300 redline v8 engine that makes more than over 100hp per litre.

  • @shahbaz99 Mustang is a way better looking car, the M3 looks like a normal car but the Mustang really brings attention where ever it goes

  • @huckster78 Are you out of your mind? The M3 looks much more classy compared to the Mustang. Mustang brings attention because of its obnoxious exhaust sound. The car is a complete joke compared to the M3. You sound like a 13 year old moron who doesn't know anything about vehicles. Your probably saying that because your a low-life American who can't afford a proper German vehicle. SMH.

  • BMW's driver was slower once... It shows nothing.

  • @m1c4a1 agreed bottom line m3 is way biter car in in a mile would almost definitely smoke the mustang

  • @m1c4a1 the ls 302 mustang destroys it on the track

  • @m1c4a1

    That's cause the BMW is slower. Enough said.

  • Spirra EX with a Twin turbo V6 would blow away both of this shitty cars. :D

  • musclecars302. blogspot .com/ check out my blog for the latest muscle cars news

  • In the second race the mustang taped the brakes you can see the nose drop an brake lights this video is crap hope im not the only one that seen that

  • RaGexBeatsTHD sorry made a stupid hater comment just dont like American cars and i think the m3 isnt a Sports Car and he said that it is so disagree with him

  • Comment removed

  • @StormSpirit1 Who says the M3 isn't a sports car?

    @1:01 He says "The M3 is more of a traditional sports car"

  • SPIRRA EX WOULD RAPE BOTH OF THIS PIECES OF SHIT.

  • @pedro125252 Say, you don't happen to be that jstxful guy do you? Because he spread the same propaganda about the honda spirra, you know, the rice burner that hardly anyone knows about, and never came to be most likly due to reliability, cost, and performance issues.

  • @man36021 Me being jstxful or not what matters is that your black mass produced piece of garbage Mustang would get raped any day by the Spirra EX. Loser LOL

  • @pedro125252 Yeah, you pretty much gave yourself away, either that, or you just confirmed the speculation that all import fags are complete retards. To prove this, may I ask, do you anything about the spirra at all? Do you know anything about the car you talk so much shit about?

  • @man36021 again don't know who jstxful is... but looks like you low life was remembering him or her every day... LOL again the point is that the mustang is a mass produced shit! wake up! is not a Ferrari or a Spirra EX. :D

  • @pedro125252 Oh so you don't know shit about it, good cause I do, the honda spirra was a concept designed by honda to compete with other sports cars. it used a supercharged 2.7L v6 and made 391hp, but only 256ft lbs of torque. Like my car, it's RWD, but since it lacks a sufficient amount of torque to create a more even powerband, it's likly that it wouldn't handle the power well, or accerlerate at a quick pace without extensive use of carbon fibre, which would make prices skyrocket...

  • @man36021 "honda spirra was a concept designed by honda " SEE U DON'T KNOW SHIT. The Spirra EX is made by Oulim motors a Korean company, Honda is Japanese and they are a fail... LOL. Spirra EX 0-60 in 3.2 sec would blow ur black mass produced shit LOL hahahahaha!!!!

  • @pedro125252 Okay, misread the information I looked up. However, the statisics weren't wrong, if you knew anything at all, you'd know that there are many variables of the spirra, such as the spirra n, which is a slow and overpriced piece of shit; the spirra s, which goes 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, slower, and more expensive than the mass produced shelby gt500; and your favorite the spirra ex, which goes 0-60 in 3.5 seconds but is just a tad slower than the corvette zr1 while being much more expensive.

  • Comment removed

  • @pedro125252 Unless you think american, and european engineering is so good, that a $32,000, and a $60,000 car can be compared to a $172,000+ spirra, then stay within the same price range, because for that price, the spirra's performance is simply unacceptable (at least compared to american cars).

  • @pedro125252 With that said, it is likely that honda pulled the plug on the spirra project, since it would cost about as much as todays corvette zr1, but only outperform much cheaper sports cars, by a very small margain (or not at all, considering how overrated it would be, using you as an example) and the only reason I thought you were jstxful is because he was the only person I ever saw, that would use a noexistant car as an example against one that does exist, which is pretty damn stupid.

  • BMW ///M Power.

    The drag race was awesome though.

  • So we have America's M3, and Europe's GT

  • *Insert Fast and Furious quote here* xD

    Mustang's a beast, and the best fast car for its price. The only way I'd have an M3 over it is if it came with a DCT, and even then, you gotta stop to fill it up far more often. Is the M3 an overall better car? Perhaps, but it's not 30 grand better.

  • rofl BMW has jersey plates.. coincidence...? i think not.....

  • Love both these cars but mustangs are close to the heart

  • you what it says for MUSTANG to BMW n ( to all MUSTANG's HaterS )

    ' No matter how big you grow ur balls it always remains under PENIS' :)

  • @utubefrd71 Really? lol BMW is a car loved ALL OVER THE WORLD Mustang is a car loved in America.

  • ... also man muss ja dazu sagen dass die ammis was beschleunigungsorgien angeht sowieso sehr krass drauf sind... mich wundert dass es hier so oft zu einem unentschieden kommt... aber auf ner normalen rundkursstrecke triumphiert der bmw mit sicherheit... amerikaner sind viel zu stark und viel zu schwer für kurven :D

  • i like the part where they tied

  • That loss can be contributed to the shitty bmw driver. M Power over everything bitches.

  • @MrHappyGoFunTime The 2013 GT500 is going to kick

    the M3 and M5 arse

  • Mustang is faster by a tiny bit in a drag race, but the M3 is better on the track by a tiny bit.Overall both are equally good.

  • Comment removed

  • que estupido

  • Most Mustang and Nissan Gtr fan boys own Bmw 3 serie ...

  • you should have different angles, the still shots on the tripod for everything is kinda lame :/ try like an in car video camera or something dude.

  • If we are having a "super coupe drag race" then why is there a mustang there?

  • He said "the mustang has a solid rear axle" like it's a good thing.

  • is it just me or were the mustang's breaklight's flickering

  • Lets be realistic.. the M3 and the Mustang are equally as fast, the drivers are also a factor in this race so for them to tie 10 times and then the Mustang to win by 0.1 seconds means nothing. Not to mention as far as straight speed they might be tied but in every other aspect the M3 shits on the Mustang. Wether your talkin about paint, interior design, ride quality, interior quality, reliablility, handling, tech, etc. I'd gladly pay double the Mustangs price for an overall much better built car

  • @Amgbenz0

    Paint quality? Both are good

    Interior design? Opinion

    Interior quality? Opinion except for seats. See Boss 302 SVT Recaros

    Ride quality? See Boss 302 adj dampers

    Handling? Mustang GT equals it & Boss 302 kills it

    Tech? M3's nav is obsolete & slow

    Reliability? Now you're making me laugh!!! BMW is can't even beat Kia or any thing from Korea!

    The M3 is 2X the price but what do you get for it other than snobbery?Keep in mind BMW's profits are 2 or 3X Ford's on a per car ratio.

  • @acs4llc Shut the fuck up with your nonsense, look at any car reviewing website and every single one of them will tell you that the M3 is better then the Mustang or pretty much any american made car. You would have to be a complete moron and have not driven or owned neither a mustang or an M3 to think that the 2 can be compared. Fords cannot compete with Jap cars in reliability either so whats your point? Go look up the reviews and JD power ratings for both cars, american cars are crap, period.

  • @Amgbenz0 if they cant be compared why is this vid on youtube then? were not rating 2 cars from the 90s current cars are light years from there predocers. the mustang has come along way as has the m3. theres so many reviews on these 2 cars. stop being butt hurt just because ford has caught up with the rest of the world and has passed alot of the competition. wait for the new gt500 its gonna have 750hp and go over 200mph. quit hating and give respect where respect is due

  • @Amgbenz0 Just checked JDP and BMW is still below industry average, same as always. Ford slipped this year b/c of MyFord Touch complaints of not being user friendly but has been dead even with Japanese before the MyFord fiasco. Not all American cars are good but since we're lumping cars into countries, VW & Mini make BMW even worse than they already are!

    Yes they can be compared as the M3 is just a pony car in 'drag'. Yes Mustangs sucked in the 90s but show me a CURRENT review/comparo... Nobody

  • @acs4llc bmw owns mini, but audi owns VW

  • @goosu94 BMW owning Mini is worse than just sharing a county but I knew this. I believe it's VW that own Audi but either way, collectively German cars are the worst in the world. OK British are even worse but they're not common to the world.

  • @acs4llc And American is even worsererer.

  • @Amgbenz0 except MotorTrend has had the ballz. Top Gear UK has been pretty quiet but a side by side comparo of interior materials/panels or how snug they're screwed together would no doubt surprise you. But then explain why MT ignored the Boss 302 & went after the softer target? The Boss 302 vs M3 would've been a complete blood bath!!! Yes I know M3s, my sister inlaw has an '09. She'll tell you it's nice but overrated. It's had electrical gremlins. Driver's window, dash lights, starter motor...

  • @acs4llc you're delusional.

  • @MrHappyGoFunTime I'm guessing you're kidding or an extreme BMW apologist... Either way, enjoy!

  • Just a Mustang

  • I want a new 5.0 :o

  • Even though the M3 BARELY lost the drag race, I'm still gonna have to go with the M3, simply because the build quality, overall, is better. After all, it is a luxury car..

  • @Real720 your is one of the best answers ive read here, bmw = luxury (goood quality), mustang = muscle not luxury but still a beast, i'd personally take the 5.0 but damn gotta loove that bmw

  • @SaleenSterlingS302 I would love to get myself a Mustang, as well, for racing, someday. ;)

  • maybe if the shitty driver stopped tapping the breaks on the mustang

  • The hell is the mustang braking for??? Fixed

  • The Mustang is just as fast, way less expensive, better mileage, and cleaner burning. FTW

  • okay. american cars are really good drag racers ... but just look at those cars the BMW looks like a true sports car it is a way better all around car, while on the other hand the mustand looks like a shoe box

  • @MPlett10 the mustang beat the m3 on the track

  • @AdverbAdjective The boss beat the m3 the gt lost by less than a 10th of a second as i recal

  • Wow, this hurts the integrity of Motortrend. Nice brake application.

  • Mustangs are for fat stinky people

  • @Hacker07Gaming BMW's are for small endowed people

  • @Hacker07Gaming haaaaaaaaaaaaaa go afford either of them you fat stinky person

  • @Hacker07Gaming lol gaming is for fat pasty pimple faced virgins

  • id have the benchmark...which is err..

  • ONLY MUSTANG !!!

  • Ford mustang is a BEAST!

  • I think it's kinda silly that they kept trying after the third race.. Basically they just kept going until one driver was slighty quicker at gear changing than the other...

  • Lets compare the fuel consumption....

  • how do you compare a pony car to a luxury sports coupe?

  • @Pilotsofer god you are stupid

  • @ikillesuper well since i'm stupid you must be smart so explain to me

  • @Pilotsofer: Because that pony car has stepped up its game. (As for as the performance category)

  • It's Not About The Ride Its The Rider

    B.M.W ♥

  • Haha. Put them on a proper track with corners and then we'll talk

  • @ravoid36 They did put both on the track and the where neck and neck.

  • @ravoid36 they did, the mustang beat the m3

  • The mustang is in trouble for the corner coming up....

  • @Kostrz3wa Actually not. The Mustang GT has amazing handling. It was less than half a tenth of a second slower around Laguna Seca than the M3 according to MT. And the Boss 302 Mustang kills the M3 for still less money. God bless American muscle.

  • @Kostrz3wa That's an old wives' tale and pure mythology, my good man! The new GT is well known for it's handling prowess and the BOSS 302 is the quickest production car around Laguna Seca, and the GT 5.0 is only a couple of suspension tweaks behind, so stop with the old school propaganda, please.

  • @Kostrz3wa lol the mustang beat the m3 on the track dumbass

  • @AdverbAdjective The Mustang lost by a 10th of a second, you fucking idiot.

  • @Real720 the laguna seca mustang beat the shitty m3 hahahaha

  • ↓↓@Resnorth - Um, out of the 4 track times you posted, on 3 of them the 'Stang was less than half a second behind the M3. So please tell us how the M3 is "much better" based on what you posted↓↓

  • The M3 will kick the ford's ass no questions.

    Plus the BITCH will get in the BMW LOL

  • i don't believe this shit

    motor trend are biased

    BMW M3 is faster at drag, at track

    loot at independent tests

    Track M3 Mustang GT 5.0

    Willow Springs 1:36.92 1:37.60

    Virginia International Raceway 3:05.40 3:08.60

    Willow Springs - Streets of Willow 1:27.67 1:27.76

    1/4 mile 12.4 s @ 114 mph 12.7 s @ 112 mph

    its just much better

  • @Resnorth Half the price of the bmw,nearly identical performance,thanks for proving the better value ;] If I wanted to spend 70k id get a z06,lets compare those numbers lol.

  • Haha I feel bad for BMW owners they paid for an overpriced car that lost to a 30,000 dollar car! I love my gt mustang it is the best car in the world for your money. I'm so proud of my car(:

  • @2wsedrf would you recommend it to other people. Because I want to buy it in a few years but yeah, it'll be my only car so it will have to be handy

  • @MrCrazyFreerunner I owned a Mustang GT from 2000 to 2010, and I loved that car. The sound when you step on the gas, the instant response, the aggressive look it has coming at you, and for the price, can't beat it. And in 2015 I believe, they finally get rid of the live rear axle which hinders it's track performance. The Mustang has performance down pretty good. But Ford has to work on fit and finish. That's where they don't compare. Maybe that changes in 2015 too. I'd say it's recommended.

  • the bmw driver could have started like 0.1 seconds later. but you didnt think of getting that in consideration, did you? americans..

  • I would kill to have either. Screw you haters.

  • Have to agree with a lot of the BMW fans out here, but at some point u have to admit Ford its stepping up their game, also its cheaper to modified and tune a Mustang than any BMW or European car... Booom in your face!!!!

  • You are the biggest joke on a Sunday after church thank you

    you made my day LOL

  • Take them through a course n see who comes out on top...

  • @psyhugo The m3 does. By .09 seconds... that's it...

  • I own an M3 I modified took out the speed limier, and i believe that mines can kick the Shoe called Mustang anytime. 500 hp.

  • @Fallen305Angel And i believe that my mustang gt that i supercharged, cammed, and ecu tuned could slap your m3... 600 HP. Just saying, you cant say that yours is better than a stock mustang, cuz someone will have another car out there (like mine) that will beat yours. (And i will assume someone will have an m3 that could beat mine)

  • OMG that BMW sounds so sexy!!!!

  • Utter stupid video...so you ditch over 5 consistent results showing a draw for just 1 in which human error might have made the difference? This is clearly biased, as if they really wanted the M3 to lose but couldn't get it to haha

  • @akdomun 70k bmw vs 30k mustang,you are an idiot.

  • i hate these type of comparisons because these cars appeal to two different types of people but i still like both cars

  • They were driven on a road course as well and the m3 did win....by a whole 9hundreths of a second. That's 0.09 that's a lot of money for 0.09 and randy pobst liked the mustang better his only complaint was the front shocks were a bit soft.

  • LOL BMW is just so much better no contest. take it out to a real track with some turns and M3 kills Ford. I liked the inline engines tho they were better
