"Outperforming" is not everything. The MP4-12C, on paper and in this case also by measurements, "substantially outperforms" the 458 Italia. However the MP4-12C did not win any single comparsion test against the 458 Italia. The same can be said about the C 63 AMG (487 PS) vs. M3 (420 PS). And for my part, this is already the case of M3 E46 vs. M3 E92. The E92 substantially outperforms the E46, but when I have both cars parked side by side this is what happens : My head says M3 E92, my heart says M3 E46. Thought I like to drive the latest cars and the latest versions, my heart lies in the ones of the past. With the M3/M4 F8X I think it will be no different. Just like every iPhone gets better and better so will the M3.
