You really can't touch an M3. People just don't understand - it's not PEAK HORESPOWER - it's AVERAGE HP under the ENTIRE CURVE. Make moderate amounts of toruqe - yet apply it across a 7000 RPM band? You have a car that people just don't understand... Especially when it is beating "higher horsepower" cars.
