Mustang outsold the 911 in Germany last month, 780 Mustangs to 752 911's. Seriously. http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/08/autos/ford...-sales-germany/

Well, at half the price that probably does make sense, but still, Mustang?

Not a Ford guy............. In fact I've never owned one (never will), but the newest Generation of the Mustang is dialed in. NOT comparable to a 911, but a solid well rounded sports oriented car. The Cobra and GT 500's are particularly impressive. Go drive one, you will be very surprised.

The old days of mustangs with minivan V6 or even a NA 4 cyl are gone (for now). I remember (1988) when my mom came to visit and pulled in my driveway all proud of her new Mustang convertible...... I popped the hood and it had a 4cyl...... same motor as a Pinto I bet. It drove like one too. Good Lord what a terrible car.......

One of the favorite things my dad and brothers and I do is go test drive cars. About once a year my dad and I go all vip (joke) and schedule a whole day of test drives specifically to drive all the American Pony Cars. Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, all to compare to my 97 M3. We also throw in a Bonus car or two depending on the mood unless the beer is calling.

I'd LOVE to put an American Pony Car in my garage (If I do it will be a Challenger/Cuda) to replace the M3 as a new practical daily driver with AC & the works, but not yet at least, especially when the 3 is long paid for and is in mint condition. But in the end, 911 VS Mustang other than a drag strip is no comparison.

I think its great to see the Mustang on the Streets of Europe.
