I think Clarkson was mixing up his Ford GT40 and Ford GT facts.

There's the fundamental difference between us, right there.

I have no Ford ax to grind.

I am a CAR guy. Don't care what kind!
 
They were using the M3 as the bench mark. Most people agree that the M3 is a great car. But when you can almost get 2 Mustang 5.0 GT's for the price on one M3?????
Most of the people I see driving M3's are real posers and would not even consider a GT.
The cost of maintenance and ownership to 100,000 miles is another win for the GT. Bmw's are notoriously expensive to own.
So a working person can buy a car with M3 performance for less than $40,000. Ford will sell loads of them.
 
When they start comparing M3 to a mustang then I will pay a close attention to the Mustang.

BTW, shouldn't it be a Lincoln that is compared to a BMW? A Ford is in a different category than a BMW is.
