Oh I agree! Just bought a used '97 328is for $7K with 143,000 miles on it.
I sold my '99 SHO with 68K miles, welded, for less than that.

C'mon Paul, that's a ridiculous comparison. Those 10 SHOs still couldn't top
the M3.
And, for the price of a used SHO (to continue the stupid comparison), you
could buy an older Z28 or Mustang GT that will also whomp a SHO.
Let's play. Sa you had $60K burning a hole in your pocket. Would you buy 10
used SHOs or a new M3.
FWIW, here's the poll I started on the Legacy Forum. Look at the
demographics. Young folks go with the best bang for the buck, and they ain't
buying used SHOs:

The one thing the SHO has over the M3, you can buy 10 or more SHO's for the
price of a new M3.

It weighs the same as a SHO (3,400 #s or so), and has 333 HP. 13.3s or so in
the 1/4 with the manual tranny.
He was playing with you....they will clean your clock!!

So yesterday I'm driving up Taylor road (for those of you who know the
HR area) and what passes by me but a blood red M3 convertible. It's only
going slightly faster than me so I step on it a little to pass it
again.. so it gets about 50 feet behind me and this guy floors the
throttle. Well, folks, if there's one car you don't want to race in a
SHO and expect to beat, it's an M3. I kept up with it after I turned my
AC off but I highly suspect he wasn't using more than half throttle
based on how the engine sounded... so I change lanes (swerve, really)
going about 60 to get around this slow truck and I'm just behind it but
my right-hand turn is coming up REALLY fast so I do another swerve at
about 70 this time, smashing my poor wife's head against the window, and
gave not only the tires but the brakes a workout as I slammed to a halt
at the light. The lady behind me in the truck wasn't impressed but the
guy driving the M3 sure was. It's nice to see people with cars that go
fast using them... and he obviously knew enough about SHOs if he tried
to race me! Most fun I've had in a while.
How much HP do M3s have, anyway? it was a recent one, either this model
year or last.
Oh, and my wife wasn't seriously injured :P
