Be that as it may, you opened up on me a couple of weeks back in regard to this same issue of being wrong a bunch of times. I in turn asked you to post those times, saying that I might be embarrassed but that I'd be grateful for learning something. Nothing back from you, proving you're blowing smoke. If not, respond with all my errors, please, or just shut up if you can't substantiate what you're saying. Of course, if you don't respond, it turns out you're lying. Speaking of lying, how's that pointer to the "many" times the M3 has beaten the RS5 on a road course coming? Good? Looking forward to it. Quote:

If I, to quote the great Ferris Bueller, "had the means, I would pick one up"...an R8 that is, and a V8 at that.

I really dont care for hp, i prefer a more nimble lighter car, 414 hp and 2900 pounds would = sex to me. Quote:
The 5 series is the size of an old 7 series and probably weighs more as well. I cant believe how big the F30 3 series is, it looks like a 5 series for god sakes.

Why would people think that the M3, which is based on a sedan platform, is designed to carry 4-5 people, has a higher center of gravity/high seating position, front-engined, and is based on the standard chassis of a practical passenger car, could out-handle a dedicated sports car that seats two, has lower center of gravity, wider track, mid-engined, and was designed from the ground up as a sports car. There are limiting factors such as the laws of physics that just can't be overcome, no matter how good the engineering.

I think that all M3takesNYC was trying to say is that the V8 version for it's price and being purposely built sports car is not the best performer.. He actually said that given the choice he would pick the Audi over the M3, but he won't pay to buy one brand new. And I wouldn't either. I'm sure it handles a lot better than our cars and feels more planted, but for what it is and it's price I would expect it to perform better.

I've driven both the Gallardo and R8 V10 and while they are exceptional machines, I feel like there's something lost in them with the AWD drivetrain. The Ferrari F430 stole my heart over those cars.

I myself love the R8's, but have never driven one. The price to be paid is all based on exclusivity plus looks, quality, tech, etc. Value is subjective. I don't think the base price of a V8 R8 is terribly unreasonable. But I can also see where the OP is coming from...I don't think the quality of the M3 is THAT far off from the Audi, so the M3 is quite a bargain and an amazing total package...which is something we already all know |
