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
a tuned m3 would be much faster, turbo on an m3 will put out big power, so if you set a tuning budget on both, the M car would piss it.
i like an older Ford turbo car, but there is something about a car that has had loads more development to begin with.
M3 or cossie, well that's the question i'm faced with for the next motor.
