Hell, if this was GMI, quite a few people would be gone by now.

Yes, the CTS-V ran the Nurburgring faster than the M3, but that factors in acceleration also, and we know the CTS-V is superior in that.
So, I will take some Edmunds numbers to demonstrate my point.

M3 slalom: 71.8 m.p.h
CTS-V slalom: 71.1 m.p.h

M3 60-0:104 ft
CTS-V 60-0:109 ft

M3 Skidpad: .93g
CTS-V Skidpad: .92g

I trust you understand my point.
What you want the M3 to run against the CTS-V in is a tight, technical track that shows no meaning to the overall performance of a car.

Yeah religion and politics aren't allowed either. There are a few threads on forum rules.

The CTS-V is a formidable car. You have to factor in cost otherwise you can pick a car that costs two or three times as much like a Porsche Panamera Turbo. It doesn’t matter if the people buying these types of cars could afford the Panamera. What do you think GM could do with the CTS-V with another $80k to play with?

The M3 is a good car, it’s down 130hp on the CTS-V but it’s also I’m guessing about 400lbs lighter which helps especially on a tight track.

I saw a video of Heinrcy and a BMW test driver go head to head and in a CTS-V and a M5 and the laps were almost identical. Now of course BMW will up the power to be on par with the CTS-V and will pull ahead and then GM will probably do the same on its next version. It’s called competition.

For twice the price, it better cook and do laundry as well as other "services" not just be faster....
