I'm confused, these cars don't match at all, Why don't they just test a Porsche 911 next to a Chevy Malibu ROFL, I just don't get this inconsistent choice of vehicles

yeah, I guess I go off the base price, The R8 and Porsche are a natural comparison, but the M3? It's better served with the RS4 etc

all it shows to me is how underpowered the R8 and Porsche are factoring in price

dude you kidding right??? The porsche is a high 11's sec qtr mile car in the right hands... underpowered????? It's not about how much power the motor makes.. weight and gearing etc plays a huge factor... THe GT3 is also a track monster and is where it belongs..

or the fact that the RS8 and pcar have ceramic brakes and other suspension upgrades that the m doesn't. The diference in cost doesn't apply only to the engine.

Perfect so there is my argument, the M3 doesn't fit in the comparison
