In my experience an M3 isn't about the speed. It's not a supercar

But there is faster/better handling cars out there tho. An Evo/scooby for example.

i just cant see how an evo with 10bhp more, probably similar weight (give or take 100kg or so) , 4wd transmission loss is going to slay a car with 10bhp less........ lets be realistic here.

I think Colin down in Alloa has one at the moment although I maybe wrong, heard a couple weeks back from foz about this so might be sold by now but if not I'm sure he will happily give you a little run. Has he sold that Evo yet on mlr?

I never said they were a slouch but there just not as quick as people make out. The ones I've had a play against ain't anyways.
I honestly would love to have one for a few weeks just to see what all the fuss is about. That's the only way I'll change my mind on them.

They are a completely different class of car 4WD/Turbo vs RWD/N/A
Both would win in different situations...

My 285bhp Mazda destroyed Stage 2 VXR's and I was still being left behind by M3's with decent drivers, so I can't see it personally
