    I'm glad everyone is getting so into this discussion. To clear up a few points for everyone: We chose the M2 with the DCT because with that option they come in at the same price here in Canada. The manual M2 is a big chunk cheaper, and then it would have lost and people would have called us out for it being unfair. Next, the reason the M2 won on the track was simply because of this type of track. Very twisty, very tight, lots of sharp corners. The wheelbase and size of the Mustang simply won't allow it to get through the tight stuff as well. On a bigger faster track the mustang would have had it for sure. Many have said that Colin looks like he's driving slowly and short shifting. I can assure you he is driving the tires off those two cars. He is just a very very smooth driver so it doesn't look very dramatic. He knows what he is doing though. He has many, many Autocross, Time Attack, and Karting victories to his name. Next, many have challenged the fact that I said the BMW is more refined and the Mustang is "cheap" feeling. Sadly thats the truth. The build quality of the M2 is far superior. Lastly, because this got such a good response, we are currently trying to put together the bigger brothers. The GT350R and the M4. Let me know what else you want to see! Thanks for watching.

      I think on a different track the gt350 would be at least a few seconds faster than the M2 considering the gt350R is quicker than the m4 gts. Did this mustang have the track pack? What shape were the tires in? Was the driving consuming large amounts of gold medicine earlier in the day? Honestly I love the M2 but since bmw abandoned na racing engines and ford had the balls to build the voodoo and put it in a track ready mustang, they get my vote.

    Two VERY different realms here. I love it. The M cars are always sleek and unsuspecting. You see them on the road and your first thoughts are "That looks a bit meaner than a normal bimmer. What's with those sharp mirrors? Can I take this thing??" But when you see a GT350 out on the road you are immediately intimidated by it. The snake emblem is obvious, it sits low and when you hear that voodoo gurgle past you your brain says "I definitely cannot take this thing." Both cars are dangerous and will smoke you if you're not ready but the energy they give off is worlds apart. Great comparison!

      Yes, comments are full of people who can't afford either. When it comes down to spending 50K+ people decide based on their brand preference, the deal they are getting, the example of the car being shown and the test drive. Nobody buys one over the other because of a 1.2s difference on a track test on youtube. At the end of the day buying a sports car is an emotional decision when it comes to it. A lot of thinking may happen before but nobody could ever spend their hard earned cash for a car their heart is not in, numbers don't come into it, it's how the numbers feel like.

    Currently I own a F10 M5 and a week ago I bought a GT350. It’s hard to make choices between these two cars as they are so different. After driving the GT350 for a week I think it is a very well built vehicle with massive raw power and tremendous sound. I normally don’t attract any attention when I drive M5, but a lot when I am in the GT350. It is just an awesome car.

My 94 Gt was 20 years old and the interior looked very good, my two 03 Mach 1’s , 03 Cobra , 68 stang, and my 2012 Boss interiors all look good years later. Presently, my 2017 Gt 350 interior looks pretty good to me and I expect it to wear very well as the years add up. Great comment.

    The sixth gen Mustang is actually extraordinarily comfortable. I'm a BMW enthusiast with a 540i and the new Mustang, and I can say that Ford has produced a veritable contender with this vehicle, in performance, comfort and features. I've personally driven the new Mustang across the entire United States on a single trip, and there is nothing about the interior which merits a single complaint. Of course, my BMW has some finer touches, but the comforts of both are simply premium. All talk beyond that is superfluous and merely hot air to fill the void.

The GT350 was hilarious fun on the track, fully capable of whatever you wanted to do. A little wobbly in sharp transitions (think COTA turns 4-10), but only a little. Fantastic, fantastic car. But I personally bought an M2, which is beyond fantastic. It’s perfect.

The GT350 has better lateral grip and if they were in a real open track it would've embarassed the M2 quite handily, and has all the time.
