Sounds very capable. Great V8 with less weight compared to the GT350. Looks like Ford is really upping their game with this and the new GT.

Comes with carbon fiber wheels. That would have been a nice addition to the M4 to further drop weight, especially since BMW was pushing this subject a lot with the use of carbon fiber and other light weight materials.

This is just on another level. Flat plane crank NA V8, carbon wheels, tons of aero... amazing.

Everything taken to the nth degree, to provide the quickest lap times.

An enthusiast dream machine.

I agree. It sounds fantastic. I wonder what the final engine output, vehicle weight and MSRP will be.

this thing is NO JOKE! seriously considering upgrading my e9X M to this thing.

Count me as someone who 100% prefers the current (last gen) Mustang design to the new one. This new interior is great obvs, but that droopy front just isn't aggressive enough. Thankfully with that kind of performance, looks become secondary.

Also - You can buy a $22K car that looks 95% the same.

And then many of the BMW " fans" get upset that people say an M3 looks 95% the same as a 320i...

Get real!

Come on... who say M3 looks 95% the same as 320i?
Different wheels, different rotors, different brake calipers, different exhaust, different roof, different hood, different trunk, different kidney grills, different bumpers, different mirrors, ... still 95% look the same???

The same people that state, "You can buy a $22K [Mustang] that looks 95% the same [as the GT350R]?" (noted above)

Lol, if I can convince my wife that I can "toss" a a baby seat in the back, then yes! No children yet, but the M3 is my "responsible adult" car.

No ac, no stereo, no back seat, good luck!

It's a good response to the z28 but that's about it.

Actually there is a Electronics Package that includes dual zone A/C, 8in Navi, audio system, etc.

Worst case, there still is the GT350 that has all those things you need for living with daily!

Personnaly, I'd be more then happy to compromise on my daily ride just to have a GT350R in my garage instead of the F8x, like getting a used S4 or 335 for dailying. The GT350R really seems to be the ultimate fun week end/track car and I'm sure they're are going to keep their value very well compared to any BMWs, specially compared to a +$75k F8x that will lose $25-30k value in the first 3years of ownership!

Call me crazy but I find this much more attractive looking then an M4, and I'm far from being a fan of american cars, but this one just look so special and bad ass!!

But the 320i doesn't cost $22K, does it? You guys are confused, let me help.

The 428i series starts at 40K. Average price of one on a lot is $45K. See the difference? I suggest you sell your E90 for $25K, buy the $22K Mustang and pocket $3K. Spend that extra cash on cool mods like hood scoops and side louvers. Everyone's a winner and you'll look nothing like my secretary (who literally just bought a new base Mustang for under sticker).

[JonnyM3]

Seriously like everything the U.S. has been putting out lately. I have an F82 on order and looking at this subjectively I'm upset BMW didn't do more with the M4. Still can't wait to get my car though in March after my 5 month wait.

Or he could just keep the E90 + GT350R for probably around the same price as a well equipped F8x, that way he would keep the last M3 BMW has made before going ecological and have a far superior performer in the GT350R for when it's time to have some real fun!

And BTW, the 320i starts at 33900$, so it's only $10k difference with the base Mustang that is 23800$, I would'nt say this puts it on a much higher level, and I'm sure in Europe the prices are even closer!

Also, if we want to be totally honest, your M4 look pretty identical to the 420i with M sport pack, the changes on the GT350R are far less discreet then the ones on the M3/M4.
