Yep. The Mustang does alright for itself mainly due to Ford's outstanding,
high revving, 4.6 liter engine.

An M3 does not equal an M5 however. Although quick (Road & Track tested at
4.1 sec, 0-60 and Car & Driver did 4.2 secs) the real beauty of the M5 is
the handling. I am still working on the 1200 mile break-in period so I
really haven't got on it much, but I do have to keep increasing the speed
limit alarm. From what I hear through, selecting the 500hp Sport mode with
the transmission in the S-6 program results in a mind blowing experience.
We shall see.
