Ha ha. I probably would be posting more here if I could. Keep the fun/testing safe when any others are nearby!

Nobody said it was hard to launch the car, the folks are just comparing data while you seem to doubt it's capabilities yet say that you might get one yourself. |

I'm sure many speed runs, numbers and debates will follow. Let's also not forget you have a CP. So let's wait for M3 CP And last but not least: if you really want to compare cars, it should be done in identical conditions (including same place and same time), otherwise it's all just speculation. And to higher speeds, bigger engines will always have an advantage. So don't worry about your money spent on the 4L TT. It's not wasted. |

But It's boring lol So M3 it is And why worry They are both BMWs and M models Just get the car that suits your needs more. The M6 was better to look at than to drive compared to the M3 which is great to drive and look at, especially the hips. |

Going straight is never the fun part :-) The moment you turn and feel that weight it just spoils it Especially coming from an M3 and a 1M |

What's up with the M6 comparison? Of course it's faster - it has nearly 50% more displacement along with it's boost. So what? It's a luxo-barge. Massively heavier, bigger body, longer wheelbase. It's like an Alpina B7 - great that it goes faster in a straight line, but if you are on this forum why would you spend your time promoting the straight line speed of such a land-yacht? It's a gorgeous, leather-swaddled rolling bordello - awesome. This is an M3/M4 forum - supposedly chassis, handling, braking, and steering are as important (though you wouldn't know it from the magazine racing on here).
... On the VBox results. First off, they are great. However, as UAE himself has said, there's all sorts of variables here. The heat is one, the surface condition, the dip in the road at the end, the extra ~100 pounds in the car in gear (car seat, laptop, camera bag, tripod, gym bag). The fact it's a VBOX result. There is a reason you want validated results from a calibrated testing system if you care about a few MPH and a few tenths of a second. While I don't believe the results are far off reality, there's alot of little things that are important. I'm not a big 0-60 fan, but let me point out that usually a 1-foot rollout being INCLUDED in the testing will drop a 4.2 0-60 down to 3.9-4.0. That's just one example. |

And for many, MANY, and MANY people who never visit a race track once in their lifetime and never will, that straight line speed in day to day driving is what counts. All this "handling" and "drifting" is meaningless when you are driving from stop light to stop light or in freeway/highway conditions. M3 will only shine/take the lead in a race track. It is natural to compare the cars. |

That's why I am not one of those many many people. And I think people who choose to buy an M3 would agree. I drive on tracks I drift And I enjoy everything BUT traffic light drag races. Cause in here, if you want straight line speed, buy an AWD DCT Turbo car which will always take off but have no soul. I never liked the GTR or the 911 Turbo but love the GT2 (which will loose to a 911 Turbo with launch control and DCT) My opinion That's |

In fact, nearly all of the owners that I see are high income individuals that are generally older and NEVER push these cars at all. The forum is a poor sampling of the M3 owner as most here are true enthusiasts.
