1. Build quality and interior quality - not even on the same level ... the M3 is still miles ahead
2. Very consistent horror stories regarding oil consumption on that voodoo motor starting around 5-10K miles. If u think the rod bearing issue is scary with our M3s, the oil consumption and secondary vibration issue on the GT350 is even worse. Ford has deemed the oil consumption as normal. Worse is , this isn't that much an issue when the car is new, but starts anywhere between the 10-15K mike mark according to consensus on the GT 350 forums. To me, that did not bode well for the longevity of the motor , however great it may be
wait...don't we have crazy oil consumption on the m3 too? My last one I used to have to fill up every couple of months.
