However, an RS is

eh?!! :confused:

Quite right, M3 Evos, wouldn't dream of being quicker round a track than one of them

...But you have to agree with Geoff regarding spending just another

hence the

The new shape ones are very hard to beat, especially the CSL :(

Geoff Hi, Keeping up with M3's is a popular belief and in this thread it has again been inferred see the following.....

"They are damn good fun, there's the inverted snobbery of driving a Skoda, cheap to run, co car tax is not bad (cheap price and good emission @ 192g/km) you can keep up with M3s bar the latest one "

I have no axe to grind here I love my new vRS, but the M3 is a very special animal with a totally different drive configuration and price. As a consequence of this, cornering ability and grip of that car was quite stunning. Pound for pound I'll stick with my vRS thank you but still feel priviliged to have owned and driven my M3 for over 2 years. (it was a costly experience in terms of fuel super unleaded and servicing every 4500 miles).

Sorry to anybody miffed by this opinion but it is based in fact.

Fair enough, but i stand by what i said. Spend a (comparitavely) small amount of money, and you can put up a pretty good show against some hugely expensive cars.

By the way,

Who's miffed ?

So true plus our smugness factor is off the scale. A scale originally created by BMW drivers. How ironic
