Actually you'd be surprised how slow the Mustang GTs are.

They only run 13 seconds flat 1/4 mile (On a perfect day and launch, I would say 13.2-13.4) same as a 335i+MPPK.

I actually outrun mustangs by about 1/4 car length (Not too far ahead, just barely, maybe with JB4, I'll be one or two car lengths ahead.) on a roll almost all the time, they weight about the same as the 335i xDrive, so a RWD 335i would probably easily pull away due to power to weight.

Hmm...some of those Silverados/F150s cost as much or more than a 3/4 series........

I've beaten a new GT from a dig once. Spot on with the 1/4 car length. The look on the passenger's face was priceless as the Mustang had 60 day tags on it so the guy driving it just bought it.

An S3 also tried racing me, that did not end well for him.

Not really a race but once traveling back from visiting family on I-95 I was following a Range Rover Sport and it was going a bit slow but I wasn't tailgating or anything.

All of a sudden they go WOT and take off. I think to myself "It's just a big ass SUV" and also went WOT. Let's just say I never caught up to that Range Rover.

Was wondering about this. Turns out a supercharged RR sport does 0-60 in low 4's with a 1/4 in the 12's.

Great thanks, usually when I see a new GT I back off but now I'll be challenging them

You guys must be racing some tired mustangs. New Mustang easily running into the 12's. Driving the 340 back to back against a coyote 5.0 the power difference is quite noticeable. Maybe at 5000 feet things might be different but not here at sea level.

Nope. If you're losing vs the 5.0 mustang, it's driver mod, or you're shifting too late, or you have a 6MT.

The GT is the 5.0? And it's best is a 12.9 1/4 or was that Eco boost 4banger turbo tang? Sorry not the most knowledgeable on mustangs. They clearly are a great platform to work off of. Cool video either way.

Mustang GT is the 5.0.

It's best is 12.9 on sticky tires and perfect shifts and everything stock.

In the real world, it's between 13-13.5 seconds depending on driver.

Last week coming off an on ramp onto the highway on the bumper of an e92 M3, can say that is a damn fast car 60 - 110mph -ish. Put quite a gap on me.

I love it when a woman in a fast car wants to race.

A month or so ago, saw a hot woman in an ///M5 next to me, we were neck to neck on the street, then we got on the freeway and she pulled up next to me, looked over and smiled, then blew me away!

That was so sexy and she really turned me on.

Had a guy in an old beat up silverado jacking with me when I first got my car. Pulled up next to me at a light revving his engine. Shoulda seen the hillbilly's face when I smoked his arse! I let him catch up and he had a look of disbelief on his face. I was like, really???

This ^

happens a few times a week on the commute home from work. I drive by several high schools in rural western Michigan.

I remember how badass I thought I was in my 1992 Grand Prix GTP back in my high school days... HA!

I get this a fair amount, I guess because the 328 is faster than the average sedan on the road but not by a whole lot. C&D clocked the 2016 328 at 5.2 sec to 60, not exactly slow and real world is prob more like 5.5. I am probably closer to low 5's now that I have installed JB+ and it pulls pretty good.
I have taken a few guys by surprise at stoplights and what not but I am 40 with 2 daughters and I am not trying to win any stoplight races... per se.
