Yeah, I watched that video on YouTube yesterday, which I think was the first day it came out. They also have a drag race video between the same Mustang and M3. They raced them a bunch of times and declared the Mustang the winner with a 12.7 to the M3's 12.8. But both cars were pretty much neck and neck on all the runs.
It's starting to look like the 5.0L Mustang is America's M3 (they mentioned that in the video) because it performs nearly identically in every aspect. I was shocked that the Mustang has a shorter stopping distance than the M3.

255/255 vs 245/265.
The M3 does have WAY larger brakes in the back...
Mustang also has a fatter powerband, and is lighter than the M3....
Again, I wanna see what the Boss 302 can do, cuz its has minimal power upgrades, but supposed to have some significant suspension and aero gains.

But you can't compare the Mustang with the G. The G is a 4 door semi luxury sedan where as the Mustang is a coupe with a not-so-nice interior. Don't get me wrong I love the new 5 liter v8 in the stang, that makes it the best performance car (straight line) for its price but quality wise its non-comparable to the G.

I'd attribute it to the mustang's front tires being larger than the M3's. Although the M3's tires are nearly square, they're still staggered.

I've owned a few V8 Mustangs in the past and I can tell you that they can get a little rough if you hit a bump during a sweeping turn. The back end tends to almost "hop" when you do that in a live axle car. I also own a 4Runner with a live axle and is amazing how well Toyota set it up for comfort. It exhibits none of the bad habits that you'd see in a car like a Mustang. In fact, most people wouldn't even know they were in a live axle vehicle when driving it.

if you want a more upscale car then G is perfect, if you want a raw sports car then the Mustang is perfect.

The G is a lux car, but only under the Infiniti brand. The Mustang and G are both cars in the same class, the difference being the amenities offered.
Imagine a mustang, but with standard leather, power seats, great audio system, etc.
