Actually I find the S550 Mustangs interior to be visually appealing. The lack of quality of the materials is what gets me. Is it a step above what the S197 offered, hell yes.

I actually don't like the way the Coyote Mustang sounds. Yes they are louder and more aggressive than a OEM E9X M3 but the tonal quality IMHO is awful, even with an aftermarket exhaust. Of course this is a matter of opinion. Also, I found the S65 more rev happy and throttle response is better.

The Mustang is such a big car, the M3 feels svelte compared to the Mustang.

Also, it seems the 2018s have some teething issues. Quite a few motors have already let go and the MT82 tranny shift forks seemed to be made of chocolate as they snap with ease.

DKM if you do get a Mustang..wait until 2019 and hope Ford has some engineering fixes for this car. A buddy of mine traded in his 08 E92 M3 for one, Ford is now buying this car back as the engine blew along with the broken tranny shift fork. Its here in Cali and the car has been in the shop now for over 60 days. His car only had 6k miles on her.

I voted to keep my 2013 M3, the performance is quite similar and I have so much equity in my 2013 E92 and enjoy driving it every time I get in it.

I have to say though if I was forced to get a new car the new 2019 and up Mustang GT PP2 would be at the top of the list.

One other thing regarding the GT500, those babies are going to be $75k MSRP and dealers with the ADMs will get well over $100k for them.
