Feelings can do so much, when the sound make goosebumps, it's hard to be fair imo. The M4 is clearly the better car overall. but this is purist who like the old tech, as with the electric steering, the new generation of tech isn't always easy to swallow. Let's see how they feel when the merc get's "modern", then what?

All these E90 guys hate the F80/F82 enough to jump on the C63 bandwagon

While driving an E92 M3 I never found that I was struggling for torque. However, what I did find was that few people were suffering from lack of oxygen to brain cell or preoccupied with thoughts of how to operate a 7-speed DCT M3 properly. Because if you do it right there is never a reason why you would get smoked by SRT8 due to lack of torque. One pull on the paddle shifter to drop to lower gears and you could run with anyone. I mean people do that with a pure manual car all the time any ways shift to a lower gear to race someone. Why was it she an issue I never understand. Why would someone sit there and press gas pedal down all the way in 7th gear which was for fuel economy. Pull that thing called shifter and say not so fast to the Jeep SRT-8.
My favorite M3 will still be E9x and E46 era cars. I was too young for the ones from before that but I mean those generation cars never lost to the likes of MB or Audi they were a cut above the competitors. Others aspired to make cars just like theirs. Oh well times have changed due to fuel efficiency and rising gas prices and pollution issues etc...etc.. Maybe not BMW but I guess I can still have a last hora in a 6.2 liter V8 with visceral appeal, fury of sound and raw fun factor that is missing with new M cars while enjoying sleek shape and latest and greatest technology in a C7 Z51 all the while saving money. At the end no doubt the new M3/M4 are nice cars they are just not superb a cut above others in their class like they used to be. Quote:

Listen to an E92 M3 GTS and it is amazing. Also, both V8's have different characteristic the C63 507 has a more NASCAR like muscular sound and M3 GTS has shrieking spine tingling Formula car like scream. Neither is better than the other both sound fantastic just a different type of sound. F8x M cars leave a bit to be desired.

Now adding to what I said before: I have to say, I did not get a chance to drive a F80/F82 M Bimmer, as they are not available here, so I can not really compare it with a C63. My C63 is a Sedan with P31 and LSD. It is close to perfection, as the car is terrificly fast, it is fun, has tons and tons of torque, oversteers everywhere, yet I can take another 4 people comfortably with more than enough space for their luggage. People complain about the weight but I think that is a huge misconception, as never I really felt the need for the car to be lighter. The car does feel pretty nimble, actually even more than the my ex M3 E92. It handles marvellously as well, just as well as my old Bimmer. Only upgrade I did was add the KW V3 springs (that cost me a fortune) to control the height to get better reactions and comfort depending on what I want. If you turn the Traction Control to Sport, put the knob into S+ (oddly enough the paddles react more quickly in S+ than in M), you get an awesome car. So please stop saying the C63 is too heavy, or too lost, as it is clearly not, all you gotta do is adapt to the torque delivery, learn the best settings and off you go. |

You say I'm being defensive? What am I actually defending in my post? I don't currently own any of the cars in question. I would be more inclined to say my post was offensive. I was just echoing the opinions of some of previous posters. Of course I put a sarcastic twist to it, but my points were not original.

SRT8s are badass. It can propel that massive Jeep 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, with lower times in the real world. Hennessey has managed to tune them to drop that time to 3.9. If you have traction issues or are less than perfect off the line, a Jeep SRT8 can and will give an M3 an embarrassingly hard time. Quote:
