High power, high torque, RWD, low weight cars are always more difficult to drive. ESPECIALLY vehicles that are turbocharged and have torque "pop" on.

The m3 is going to be around a 12 second even quarter mile vehicle. Possibly high 11's. This is ALOT of power and, yes, in a lightweight RWD vehicle is going to be beyond what most people can handle with traction control off.

It's also going to change directions faster due to additional chassis stiffening and it looks like M may have made this vehicle a bit more track oriented as well.

The e46 m3 was a lot of car for a lot of owners (especially younger/inexperience owners) to handle.

And the f8x platform is a helluva lot more performance than an e46.
