Then you should go out and get yourself a c5/c6 corvette and be done with it.

These cars have significantly raised the bar for hot hatch performance. Next you'll be ripping on the new Corvette for antiquated push rods!

Though the new Mustang turned in equal to slightly better laptimes to the M3, it does not negate the fact that it's still a boat to drive. Not confident inspiring. I'm willing to throw down money that the average joe would be able to drive the m3 faster around a track than the stang. The ST is definitely faster out of the box as seen by tests. But that still doesn't mean it's a better driving car. Not to mention, being a front wheel squeeler it will never come close to ultimate race car potential like the gt86.
Let's not sway from the original topic and keep this an MR-S vs FRS/BRZ thing.
