You can't use the full HP in either car...thus handling is far more important at lower speeds...

45 MPH in a straightline or in the twisties??? I know which one I prefer...
With your theory everyone should be driving Miata's.

The only way to see the M3's peak power, is if you ring out the motor. You simply can't drive at high rpm's all day in the M3.

The C63 is far more suited to be a daily driver. All the torque is delivered around 2,000 to 3,000 rpm.

Unlike the M3 which peak power is at 8,300 rpm.
