Keep in mind a 98 M3 is not a 13 second car. Here is how we determined this, we went to the track with a GT stang with a K&N filter and an M3 with Intake and exhaust. It was about 85* outside. Since the guy in the M3 wasnt the best driver and wouldnt let me drive his car, I drove the GT since I was not experienced with it. I hit a 14.1 with no traction. He hit a 14.4 with a good launch. Thats not B.S. thats actually driving and he admitted he drove his best without miss shifting. I believe M3's can easily hit 13s with good weather and a good driver, but the reliablity of a highly tuned BMW motor to run reliable is not something I have heard. GT stangs have hit high 13's numerous times in stock form. This is not a suprise my friends stang was picking on an M3 like it was cake....or more like I was since I was driving. This mustang with just exhaust and the K&N intake has beaten many S2000's as well, this is from a dead stop up until high speeds, so its no slug. I talk from expereince, many of my friends have/had m3's, usually blowing a water pump or interior falling apart. The GT stang is my good friends car, that thing has 50000 miles on it and is almost bullet proof, and this guy doesnt even take care of his car. By the way, Neither American or German cars are my company, I love Nissan and will stick with them. But if it came down to buying a Supercar, I would buy American, if it came down to Luxury, it would be Lexus or a very expensive Mercedes. Nick |

and if you really were to pick an American car over a German one, well that's probably because you're a neanderthal that couldn't tell the difference between living in a cave eating rotting animals and living in a penthouse in Manhattan dining at fine restaurants.

No wonder you were the Beatle that never got any chicks.
There ARE crappily built German cars (Trabants, BMW Isettas, Messerschmidt KR500s, diesel Mercedes-Benz sedans from the late 70's, Volkswagen Buses and Kammbacks). There ARE crappily built Japanese cars (Suzuki Swifts, Isuzus for the most part, 80's Mitsubishis for the most part). There ARE crappily built American cars (Ford Pinto, Edsel, AMC Pacer, Chevy Vega). But there are good cars that come from these countries as well. Cars are like people, you've got to take them one at a time and judge accordingly otherwise you'll just miss out.

You're right about giving all cars a chance, but I've seen too many Neons running around with peeling paint, peeling paint on a 5 year old car? I had a BMW from 1975, the paint is so rich that it never peeled off. And comparing an M3 to a Mustang, even if the Mustang is faster, honestly, you look at these cars underneath at the dealer's showroom and they are already rusted! RUSTED! never been driven, you're paying the inflated sticker price for a Mustang and you're buying a rusted car. The paint quality is inferior, and the aesthetic of the design...there is none, probably the same designer that designed the cinder block is now designing Mustangs. |

When will people get it into their heads that (again) THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BETTER, when it comes to over-all. There is just what's best for YOU.
Even Nissan's R390, or Mclaren's F1, or Saleen's S7 has its drawbacks...and not everybody would want one, crazy as it might sound. Hell, the Pinto, the Fiestas, and the Azteks got bought by SOMEBODY. Just a thought... ...do Japanese or German drivers argue about import vs domestic? ...do Italians ever have to justify their domestics? ...will this thread ever end? Dunno about the first two, but I sure can answer the last one.
