Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

Btw, you lost me on your metaphore. The M3 Engine revs to 8500rpm, while producing about 420hp. Its a beast. AND its more fuel efficient than the outgoing V6 in the E46 M3

I don't think the new M3 is a bad car, just pricey for what it is and does. I'd take an LS3 Corvette every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Though I would like to see Cadillac slot in a 2+2 coupe at around $45-50k that could compete with the CLK, M3, SC430, etc.

The F is preatty cool, but msrp 56,760.... Comparing the numbers performance wise your extra 23,700 you have to pay for the F don't really seem all that amazing. Although I'm sure the interior is nice??

But As for the M3... Its a bit pricey, id say it definately is worth 60k. Its a different type of car than the Corvette.. the corvette sacrifices alot for performance... Practicality... some could argue safety...

Thanks Tag appreciate it the biggest thing for me was I wanted a car people don't have like my Twin Turbo you never see them anymore. They only imported 2,700 to the US of the Lexus and in 2009 they are only bringing 1-1,500 to the US so I am happing with it, being I wanted something a little more elite.
