drive like your in a driving test and you will get beaten in anything.
were saying if both are driven hard then what will the outcome be
M3's are very under performing if you don't use the upper 2k revs, its a 3xx HP 3 litre engine, not a 300 hp 6 litre or turbocharged engine where the power is made well before redline.
This said, an agressive driven hot hatch, or a stage 1 cosworth, rs turbo or what not can keep up with an M3 that is not driven to the redline in each gear, I have seen too many M3 drivers do this, it is not funny.
I made this point in my first post, I dont know where or how you think I was making out a hot hatch is ultimately faster than M3s.
