I read the numbers on the new M3 and felt blown away. I cant believe that its that much faster then the ISF. New or not that is one bad *** bimmer. I just wish Lexus would build a car to beat the Germans , not meet the Germans . Always seems to fall short slightly but wins overall for reliability, drivability, etc. I just want it to be FASTER than AND reliable . Set the benchmark Lexus, enough " me too" cars.

magazines are getting 3.9 for the M3. Thats faster than the 4.2 to 4.4 that magazines get for the ISF. Still means its faster than the ISF. I hope the RCF can break 4 sec. We will see

And with the Dodge Challenger Hellcat just announced with 707hp.... if it is priced the same or less than an M3/M4 or RCF, looks be damned, just might go domestic when it's time to change cars...
Love the performance wars these days...

lots of amazing options. I know what you mean. I almost went to the dark side and was considering a ZL1 Camaro before I bought the F

Still surprises me how they can't give a new SRT Viper away these days and it's such a bad *** looking car. Now they are giving the Challenger more power than the Viper. Wonder if the Viper is finally dead for good

I guess technically, Quicker = time it takes to get to xx speed/distance Faster = higher achieved speed.
Ie If you have two cars one runs 11.9 @ 115 the other 12.3 @120 the first car is "quicker" the second is "faster"

lol In that instance(1/4 mile), the 120 trap car is faster. Beyond that, it is anyone's guess, as to which made up car is faster.
