I like the look of the M3, but one thing i do know is M3's has a set of new brakes for that race. (originals don't hold to well)

i think it was fairly obvious the entire race that the m3 was the faster ride.

The IS-F disappointed me

Was the honda there just to film the backside of the other cars? What a waste of gas and lets not forget a bad impact on the environment.

No kidding. Considering the M3 is sporting a 414HP 8 cylinder engine...good Lord thats embarrassing for BMW and its $65,000 price tag. Unless the Bimmer was just playing with the Z the whole time?

According to the vid its now ALLEGEDLY MUCH faster cars...Im not sure I'm buying into this vid...dont get me wrong I LOVE my Z but the M3 BARELY edged it out. And I thought an s2000 would run better not to mention the IS-F.

Ahhh, yeah. I thought wrong. I figured the Honda and especially the M3 not to mention the Lexus were stronger than that.

Seems as if the IS-F driver was having issues adapting to the 8-Speed slushbox

Wow, I always laugh at this mentality. You think people spend $56,000 on a BMW M3 just for performance? The price tag is high. But you don't just get performance on a car like the M3. That's one reason why the M3 and Nismo Z are in a different league and price range.

I said 56,000 because thats the base price. The M3 could have done better. The launch on the Z was just insane.

Whoa whoa whoa. The new M3 comes with that much power? If so, I am VERY happy to see the Z be so close to it (ofcourse, I would've been happier to see it win )

Strip all that stuff aside, apparently the M3 makes over 400 bhp. It should've been able to SKUNK the other cars including the Z.

If the specs on the M3 are accurate to what has been said on this thread, the M3= Pathetic and yes, anyone that does buy an M car does have a performance-oriented mind set.
