And it's not like I'm saying it's beastly in stock form. I'm specifically talking about a modded car like theirs.

Maybe we just look at beastly differently. Hanging with stock cars that you are in the price range of with mods is not very impressive to me.

Just as a note-- ideal conditions can mean a lot of things. I think running in FL helps a lot with times. My S trapped almost 5mph faster in southern GA than it does up in VA... just saying.

Also, having guys like Jnaut driving is an "ideal condition". Put him behind the wheel of the M3, and it will likely lay a better time.

Not exactly, just in that range. What about if you bump the range up to $100k (which is hopefully what my next car purchase will be) with the possibility of a beater DD car. My personal choices are new GT-R or used Lambo/Ferrar/R8. What do you think?

Is better times in FL due to elevation, weather conditions, or something else?

I honestly wouldn't buy any of those cars. Let's discuss further in the conference room, as to minimize thread derailment.

Better times mostly due to elevation.

Cool. Let's move this convo then.

We do. I think an NA 3.7L V6 running those kinds of numbers is beastly. It's simply impressive, considering we had supercars not too long ago running those figures.

Red__Zed · 05-27-2011, 04:27 PM

See, for 50 grand, I'd rather have something with a warranty, or something much faster.

What would you get for $50k?

For which solution?

You could get a supercharged 5.0 for speed, a tuned 335, or buy a z and my old s2k...

shadoquad · 05-27-2011, 04:28 PM

For under 100k, I don't see how one could go wrong with an M3. Oh, I'm sorry, wrong thread.

Don't apologize, you're absolutely correct. It is the best bang for buck supercar under $100k

nuTinmuch · 05-27-2011, 04:30 PM

I would buy an M3, tbh.

I'd buy a 1 M.

Who made this about price? I didn't, you did!

A good all around car. Say you were to have one car after you move and you had $50k to spend, what would YOU get?

There is no doubting the M3. It pwns all when it comes to bang for buck
