But yeah, a sprint cup car would eat up a M3 on a road course in straights and corners and brake zones. I don't know how the brakes "feel" because I haven't driven a sprint cup car, but they decel way faster than a M3 can.
OP, if it felt like it "handled like a dump truck" something was wrong with the setup or the tires were frigid or something. They can pull way more g's than a M3, even a M3 on sticky tires.

I've heard this statement from a lot of people involved in NASCAR . Most people involved in GT racing think that NASCAR is "just left hand turns", but those left hand turns ARE in a car with massive horsepower, marginal grip and inadequate brakes/handling. Add to that the "traffic" in corners (a lot of swapping of paint/contact) and you have an entirely different challenge than it would appear on the surface.
