Taking out the baffle makes it too loud if you've got neighbors and cops who don't have shit better to do. The shifter is bad. The door cards actually might be the worst ever put in a car. But they're right, you just don't care about this crap when you're driving it.

I've always loved the N54 cars (when working) and the 1M, but I'll just never daily an FI/DI car again until the tech is a lot more mature and the goddamn government has hadcuffed the automakers to the point where it's inevitable. More moving parts, more heat, the tradeoffs just aren't worth it for me at this point in time. That won't prevent me from respecting the cars for what they are though.

But all I was saying is that regardless of where you hold the GT or BOSS in relation to the M3, they are very good cars. It takes very little to make a GT trump a BOSS (all respect to the BOSSes out there), so I really disagree with these guys. Unless you need the BOSS name or plan on boost, get a GT for pennies on the dollar right now and spend a few bucks in suspension and engine mods (tune/exhaust/tire E85 runs 11.5 or go the road course route for cheap too), the GT is still absolutely viable in the conversation.

But I've gone off on a tangent. Regardless of whether or not you compare the live-axle Rustang to the M3, the Rustang is an outstandingly capable car.

Well said.
