You're talking about the member who went 135i-->GT500-->M3 in the matter of a couple years, right? This will happen to some people. If what you value in a car aligns with BMW's offerings, I wouldn't expect you to like the GT500. Not everybody has to like it, and I respect that. The stuff that irks me is when people pass off fallacies as fact (e.g. it can't handle for shit, it'll rattle and fall apart sooner, your penis will fall off, etc...)

I went from 335 to GT500 (although both are still present), and I don't regret it one bit. Different strokes for different folks. I've always loved muscle cars, the sound of a nice V8, and I've never cared a whole bunch about the interior, as long as it works and is not an ergonomic disaster. My favorite car was my '68 goat, and that thing's interior was TERRIBLE. The glove box was literally a cardboard box that hung precariously behind the face of the dash. All the panels felt like they were going to fall off if you so much as looked at them (even with all the fasteners present). However, it added character to the car, and I enjoyed it for what it was. A loud, beastly boat of a car whose chassis visibly twisted like a wet noodle any time I hammered on the gas, accompanied by the smell of burning rubber and gasoline along with the sound of a glorious big block (oh I should probably mention how I put a 454 in it and all the Pontiac freaks got on me about putting a Chevy engine in there... well, if Pontiac's 400 could take boost or even didn't blow up in its stock configuration then I would have used that).... It had four drums so it also had an aversion to stopping, not to mention the fact that it wasn't really good at changing direction either.

That thing probably would have lapped the ring in 30 days if I was lucky. People are so caught up in 'Ring times these days that the spirit of cars is starting to suffer. I don't mean to sound like a carbon copy of Captain Slow, but he's right and I agree with him. I hope the reason for that is not that my age is starting to show.

These Mustangs that have come out lately have really gotten me excited in a different way than BMWs ever did, but that's because of how my preferences are skewed. I like muscle cars. If you don't like muscle cars, you won't like the Mustang. If you rub your face on the dash every day and want to be welcomed by superior materials, a Mustang won't be for you. If you can't stand retro gauges, the Mustang is not for you. If you can't stand being lumped in with the Mustang or muscle car stereotype, the Mustang is not for you.

I won't bitch at anyone who doesn't like the car; I only bitch at people who are being idiot blind fanboys. I thought I joined this forum to rub elbows with car enthusiasts who also happened to own BMWs. Sometimes I feel like I joined a forum where BMW owners come to pretend to be car enthusiasts. There's a difference and it doesn't take long to sort out who is whom.
There was a member named HotIce and I believe he was called a troll for saying something along those lines and given infraction points. He had PM'd me, so watch it.

If ragingclue gets in trouble for his post then this site has lost its way. It's a well written post and one I agree with. Like I said my next car will also be a gt500 for many of the same reasons he states. I love my 335is but I'm moving in a different direction. I feel this will be my last BMW.

Hell, I got kicked off the F30 Forum just because I said I didn't like the fact the car didn't have a NA in-line 6 and wasn't available in jet black paint.

Thank you . Ordered it for MSRP ($57480) . This being newer and redesigned model , it was hard to go below that. the dealership is Andersen Auto group , based in nebraska.
I was told that it would take at-least 6 to 8 weeks to get it . That's going to be a long wait.
I can't say I know of any other new car with 650hp for that price - unless you bought a kit and put it together yourself....Although I have never been a "blue oval" guy (grew up on the GM side of town) but I have to give credit where credit is due, Ford has and is stepping their game up. Good luck with your snake

As soon as the lease on my Z4 is up I too will have a 2013 GT500. It will likely be the last Shelby for at least a year. The new generation Mustang is due as a 2014 model. The GT500 will follow a year or so later.

Go re-read your post on page 1. Sure sounds like u are putting down OP's decision by saying he will regret it + he'll be miserable. Really?

Wow, even with your Gayley GT does that entitle you to be so negative? Jokes.

I'm not sure why he'd stay. You have different knuckleheads here trashing his car just because it's not a BMW. It's one of the worst parts about this forum.

I got booted off the M5 board for stating a magazine review said the new M5 went into limp mode 5 times while they tested it.

Forum mods are the ones that posted the damn article. Should I not read the article?

Stripe delete is a free option. The Shelby badging is easy to remove.

I was going to post this, too... and I was surprised that no one had beaten you to it. I still hang out on the my.is (formerly is300.net) site from when I had my IS300.

That being said, I also agree with the fellow that quoted you... that with all the hate on here, I'd be reluctant to stay.

To all of you guys trashing the Ford (and pretty much anything that isn't a BMW), you need to cool the F off. This guy has clearly made his decision based on what he likes and doesn't like about his outgoing and incoming vehicles. Its his decision, not yours. Second, and its been said already, Ford has come a long way with the Mustang, in everything from interior quality to handling. Thirdly, the current regular Mustang GT will keep up with my car. The new Shelby should thrash it. Most of y'all that are really ragging on the Mustang (and the Shelby no less!?) would be obliterated on a track.

Also, Sync > iDrive.

OP, stick around and ignore all the guys who don't appreciate the beast you've got on the way

Ford (First On the Rubbish Dump)

If you wanted power you should have got an M3, it can at least go around corners

Enjoy the Mustang, you should still frequent the BMW forums. All the best and I hope you have many great miles in the Mustang
