Had a high powered RST, had drove/been in loads of cossies/Jap stuff and loved it, loved the power but then realised there's more to GP traffic lights/Motorway drag racing, then met a Cossie on an B road in an M3

I love cossies, always have, but i have to say i'd go for a new shape M3 over ANY cossie any day of the week!!!! And i like the E36 ones too.

Same again, not to say i don't like cossies cos i love em!!! Just think M3 is a little more refined! I'm used to losing, I drive a vectra SRi everyday car that gets beat by a saxo VTS lol!

they are nothing special on B roads either. i have a video of me pushing an E36 M3 Evo along a good windy road at high speeds (saw about 140mph). i was stuck to his arse all the way with plenty left, even on the corners i was right on him.

i don't think it was an Evo really as it wasn't quick at all. the lad swore blind it was.

i think they are overrated, especially considering an old Datsun like mine is shit at handling.

Why do people think the M3 is slow.

It's perfectly capable of running a 13 second quarter, which is pretty much the same as a stage 3 cossie.

Also, when yuo say you beat him, I bet it was by a few metres - big deal. He'd leave you standing on track Pete
