I'd kill for an M3, well almost...

It would be harder for me to beat on it around the track like I do the SHO, simply because the consequenses will cost so much more.  Several of us can now say we passed a Viper on the track. because the Viper driver had much more to loose than we did.  Doesn't mean I didn't have a big grin on my face, though.

Of course, if I could really afford an M3, I wouldn't be so worried.  Since I can't, it's a moot point. 

But I can always dream.

Todd Serota, who runs the TracQuest events, has seem about everything out
there. P-car guys are impressed with the Z06 Vette "for the money"
(important point), but they can't keep up with 911s and Vipers in stock
trim, mostly due to inadequate brakes under track conditions.

New M3 is very nice, though. You have to decide if you want the "best for
the money", or "the best".

As I've said in the past: the Micky Ds 1/4 Pounder is the "best beef for the
money", but the Ruth Cris filet is "the best". For those of you who are
"analogy challenged".....the SHO is the 1/4 Pounder, BMWs are the Ruth Cris.

Wouldn't we all though :)  I believe the new 333 hp M3's are up close to
$50k.  For that kind of $$, I've yet to see a car at the track that has as
much bang for the buck as a Z06 vette.  I'm sure the M3 would be a lot nicer
to live with day to day, but watch a stock Z06 throw on a set of race tires,
and it's absolutely awesome.
