I have friends with genuine 400bhp cars that just can't shift me lol.
And in the 11 years I've owned it its broken down once and that was my own fault lol. Other than maintainance they're brilliant cars. Mine gets abused every time it goes out. That isn't the same with my mates cossies lol.
dont get me wrong I like e46 m3's a lot! Much better car than a Stone Age cosworth lol
But the point I made was a standard one will not live with a genuine stage 3 saff! The m3 weighs not far off 1600kg any one who says they are faster has iver raced a cosworth that don't have 350 or haven't full stop!
But like you say the m3 is out the box fast and a tuned one is a very different story. But if you was to compare each as a tuned car then the m3 would be left for dust as a tuned road car! as the sky's the limit with a yb these days
