I don't get why comparisons are made from GT3 to M3 ever. In stock form they are SO different. In virtually every major way. The GT3 is a one trick pony. It's an EPIC track car and flat out dogshit for daily use or public roads, particularly LA roads. I'd be embarrassed to take a girl out in a GT3. Cool girls don't give style points to a car that is bumpy and feels like you ran over a curb every time you hit a reflector.
I think it’s because the GT3 is considered the Ultimate Porsche & I’ve noticed that a lot of M3 owners jump ship & head over to Porsche. As well as the fact that a lot of M3 owners track their M3’s, so with that thought in mind and the new M4 around the corner wishful thinking would love to see the daily driver M3/ M4 kick Porsche ass on the track! For when you look at our current E9x platform at around $75,000 fully loaded it’s not that far behind the $130,000 + Porsche. You put about $25,000 (supercharger, BBK, coilovers, tune & exhaust) in the M3 & not only would it still be a great daily driver but it would also take care of its business at the track!

In stock form of course you have to give Porsche its props however, a modded M3 (which is still cheaper than a stock Porsche) will give the Porsche a run for its money IMHO!

Although I could be a little bias
