Even then, it's a better comparison, as the 0-60 and quarter mile times are in the ball-park. The price range is similar too. But if I was at the head of the Ford performance department, I'd be a bit ashamed than cars with 100 less hp and loads less torque are achieving similar times (all due to stroke... if only the Americans would give up long-strokes).

The thing you need to remember is the GT500 is 100% about performance.
The cars you've listed above, M3, RS4, IS-F, are HALF about performance, half about having a luxury car.
