M3 would be stuck in the snow/rain whilst the 106 gti is performing reverse doughnuts around it, tbh

What happens if an M3 beats and M3? Does it cause somekind of paradox and the world implodes?

M3's fast, but isnt going to rip your tits off but is good for what its trying to be & a 2nd hand bargain.
Who cares if a beefed up rice box beats it, I didnt if you want one of those then get one instead!?

The roads will be safer if they all handled as good as Pumas.

not really all about tyres, a front heavy RWD car will not be amazing in the snow, as witnessed this year with all the bmw and mercs i was watching trying to get out of work

Did they have winter tyres? 
Neighbour with a BMW 3 series used to have no trouble getting up the steep hills around High Wycombe with his winter tyres, when I would be sliding backwards into oncoming traffic

Haldex is alright (wish I had it in winter months and heavy rain) but it's not the proper Quattro system.
