dude... no offense... but what the hell are you talking about?

m3's are NOT 318ti's, and an m3 would smoke your car. and BMW do rule.

Damn you biased BMW people...ah well, the M3 really is better anyways.

yah i know, i dont know what i was thinking there. my bad. i saw 2 m3's today, very sweet car. the guy didnt seem to know how to drive though, i was behind him on my bike and he almost ran a red, then when it turned green he sat there for about 15 seconds, then he was going 30 in a 45....

i was just curious.......since the cobra is significantly cheaper than the m3, if we go a little higher up the ladder to the limited edition cobra r, then how would the cars compare? personally i'd still take the m3 simply because its aesthetically FAR more pleasing, sounds better, and has four usable seats......but i'd like to see how much faster and how much better handling the cobra r is in comparison to the normal cobra

The Cobra R uses a 5.8L V8, right?

5.4 v8, but this is the cobra R which comes with no ac, power nothing and is not the '03-'04 s/c cobra.

i would take the cobra btw, i just realized the exhaust sound on an m3 is weak, even if u were to put a aftermarket exhaust...

& in a track race, i think it would be a close one, i know for sure the m3s a good track car, but the '03-'04 cobras come with irs rears and big ass brembos.

not to make this choice a bit tougher but brand new:
m3 = 50k (some where around there)
svt cobra = 35k (somewhere around there)

i remember when m3s first came out and after a year the prices were still bullshit, i mean cmon 60k for an m3????????????
i can buy to evos for that!
