The Ford tips the scale a bit heavier than the BMW at 4,171-pounds. Making up for the added girth is a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine that can churn out 760hp and 625 lb.-ft. of torque. Like the Beemer, the GT500 utilizes an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive.
The BMW M4 Comp (3,880-pounds) utilizes a 3.0-liter twin turbocharged inline 6-cylinder engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Bavarian mill is capable of making 503hp and 479 lb.-ft. of torque. The M4 claims that it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8-seconds. The Mustang? 3.4-seconds. Let’s see who’s fibbing.
