Those Mustangs are the most useless things under the sun. I went for a drive in the latest darkhorse and I can honestly say it was extremely terrible. (No offense to anyone that owns one).From my experience this weekend with cars in a similar performance level to the Z4, with the proviso that we were all driving at "six tenths" (we were not) and my really rather quite rubbish front tyres:
Mustang: they pulled away from me on the straights but I caught them under braking and in the corners
Golf GTi: I pulled away from them everywhere, but surprisingly close
Golf R: Pretty even on the straights, but they rocketed out of corners
BMW Race Series E36 and race taxi - fully race prepped cars, I had them on the straights, but they made me look a bit silly in the corners
I had a ride in the Golf R - the driver was giving it twelve tenths, really quite aggressive, but I was very impressed with how the cars electronics tidied everything up and translated sledge hammer inputs into forward progress
We are in 2025 and there is still loads of plastic kak on the inside of them not to mention, handling wise its rather horrid. There's a reason they don't hold their value and they dirt cheap pre owned. Ford were able to perfect the Ranger Raptor, but they couldnt do that with their most iconic performance car which is sad.
My M140i loves lining up next to a 5.0 GT.
