My original point being if BMW can muscle Porshe on the track, why not on the streets ?
I guess we'll have to see comparisons between the GTS and the GT3 and how they compare. Out of personal preference though, most people would prefer a GT3 over this M3 GTS, and I don't blame them.

If find it hard to believe you "knew" that based on your post.

The GT3 just beat out the R10, Aston V-12 and ZR1 in EVO.

THe last M3 CSL lost to a BASE 911 in EVO years ago.

Both FYI.

To me, its just a welcome addition to the party and I'm glad its produced.

Someone, Please photoshop this in BLACK.

It will look absolutely stunning and mean as hell in BLACK.

Let's see it.

That sounds like an amazing track car. M3s are everyone's favorite DD/track cars, but at that price there are better alternatives.
Evos, Exige cup, Z06 etc etc

Gotta go with the GT3, its a no brainer. Performance, presence, overall value.

really depend on the price of the gts comapred to the gt3. if they are close, i would choose the gt3 too, and i think bmw would be stupid to price the m3 gts that high

Agreed, since these cars typically aren't daily drivers, the GT3 is top choice for intended use.
