As for whether it's that great, well it offer no control over wheelspin which maybe OK in the dry but is awful in the wet. Try and control the wheelspin with the throttle and lose the one great thing it DOES have to offer which is the automatic shift up at rev limit. Call me a killjoy but compared to some other systems it's piss poor. |

damn my dads talking about getting one, looks like I'll need to get a supercharger to keep up. He seems to be in a horsepower war with me ever since I got my M and beating his Infiniti M45 Sport.

I don't personally trust those kinds of 'tests'; they're just entertainment to me. I'm not defending the M3, as I'm sure it's outgunned by that Jag, no matter what (common sense), but I don't think that badly; it's 90+ HP, but also a heck of a lot heavier. Being a 6MT vs auto, I question what gear the M3 was in at the start of the test, and if both started pulling at the same time and WOT. I'd also have the same doubts if the M3 had blown away the Jag. Good day.

Yes, exactly when Ford owned Jaguar prior to the fiscal 2008. Cars dont get designed overnight and roll on the assembly line the next day... |
