In this case, the regular Joe pushed harder with the unsettled chassis. I find this odd. Not saying it isn't true, just odd given the characterization of the suspension, not to mention no talk of brake fade given the heavy nose diving of the car on the track.
The mustang does suffer from nose dive, and the Pro guy did say he felt the mustang had better brakes. i think its just a reflection on how the BMW has better quality overall, thats were the 22k difference goes to use.

the mustang has good quality but, we have to remember Both cars have different quality standards.
