Afternoon ladies and gents...
I was just wondering what the general consensus was on 05 M3's vs 05 GT's? Who do you think would honestly win?
I know one guy with an 05 GT, beautiful car, with CAI, and a reflash done but he won't race me... I resepct his decision even though I get on his case all the time... I won't mention his name since he frequents this board. And because he's a really nice guy. I just wish he'd race me.
I'm in the Tampa Bay area and I'll be going to T&T Thursday Night @ Bradenton Motorsports Park. I would honestly like to find out. So if you're willing let's do a run or 2.
-Matt

Thinking more on this if the 05 GT driver is better he could beat the M3 because in all reality it is a drivers race. With that said on the twisties it would chew my 05 GT up.

ooooh great, an American car hater.
Anyways, good driver against good driver? The M3 would likely be the win.
With a CAI and a tune I would give the win to the Mustang with the same above drivers.

If you read his post he likes the Mustang. He just wants the guy to race him. I know his sig can get American car owners fired up but he's right.

As stated I just want to run one to see what will happen. I felt the same thing, that it's a drivers race. I just want to race one to find out. And to answer your question, now it's not. but the only thing done was an ECU flash.

Stock for stock, I'd say the M3 would take it, but with a $20k price differential, I'd say that gap could be quickly blown away! That $20k would go a long way in building a monster Beemer eater. So the comparison is really apples to oranges.

I'm not really worried about that. And personally can't figure out why people keep adding the price of a car into the equation. I know how much my car cost and I know how much your cars cost. That’s not a factor here. I also watched a Lamborghini Diablo lose to a Honda Civic hatchback. 295K vs 25K (after all the work) Lambo’s are not ¼ mile cars. Neither is an M3… It’s just fun to see what you can do. IMHO
