I wouldn't - it makes no sense compared to an M3 or M4. Ultra-hardcore, rougher, etc, etc. It's cool but it's still a track car, not a daily driver, even if you keep the A/C and such.
I still think it could be a very fun car, though, and I would love to drive one. We're talking 3600 lbs, 540 hp (give or take), exotic V8, track-ready everything and pretty wild aero work. How is that NOT going to be fun?!?!
The mag ride MIGHT make it able to be driven more often on the street, if you can keep from scraping the low aero bits off of it.

The "rags" also said a GT-R drives itself, so I take everything with a grain of salt. I haven't driven a new gen Stang yet but I have sat in one and while it's a big step up from the last generation it's still nothing to write home about like the jump from the C6 to the C7.

You can't compare a base automatic Mustang rental car to an M3. A Boss 302 would be a better performance car comparison. Here's my review on the 2015 Mustang GT:
You should try one. The GT350 is going to be badass.

Any day of the week, yes. Honestly if anything ever happened to my S I'd probably lean in the direction of a Ford now...

Allegedly it's done a 7:32.19 at the Nurburgring, which is INSANE (faster than a 997 GT3 RS Mk II)! GT350 is supposedly a few seconds slower than that.
