So given the rsx-s be on the same tires i'm not sure there really is any performance reason to get an m3 aside from rolling down robson thinking your hot shit. | dude, you gotta get rid of the chip on your shoulder. Obviously you are clueless and know zero about cars. You quote a slalom speed and think that is the benchmark for handling?
...please don't buy a euro car, we don't need another idiot bimmer owner.

I believe performance is measured in numbers. The slalom is not the end all for handling but it surely cannot be dismissed either. Clearly when given stats that the m3 is not as great as you claim you have no evidence to back it up so you and marco911 can get together and circle jerk each other with unmeasurable performance stats. The rest of us that are after performance know where to look and that surely isn't at bmw.

^ ignorance must be bliss.....no pt debating with you....I guess all the automotive journalists that have owned or own E46 M3s don't anything about performance.
Since you are into stats, go buy a corvette Z06....that must be the best car ever because of the stats, oh I forgot you think a RSX is in the same performance league as a E46 M3.....VTEC yoooooooo!!!

No but it would be sad that some lowly honda could keep up with the "ultimate driving machine"
However on that note i'd certainly consider the newer cts-v over the newer m3 if we are talking in the same category. http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/com...cedes-c63-amg/ Quote:

If you've ever driven both a RSX Type-s and a M3 you can't even put them anywhere close to each other in terms of performance and driving feel. I don't even know why this is being debated.
Anyways, back on topic, I do agree...E46 M3...hands down one of the best bang for the buck cars right now.

I wouldn't say the E46 M3 is the best 25K range used car. It might be the nicest looking but I wouldn't say the best.
Its a toy car. Not good at hauling stuff, not good in snow, gas is pricey and its a sports car so chances are it's been thrashed (If buying used).
But for the shake of argument we will say you have a different car that does all of those things and you have 25k burning a hole in your wallet. PERSONALLY I would buy something older (240, skyline, rx7, ae86... that's just what I like) and fix it, and make some minor changes.
Example : Toyota AE86 cost $500-$5000.
Honda F20c + Suspension + Brakes + ETC = 250 - 300 Hp, Sub 1800lbs car which would destroy that M3. For less money, and you would have something more original...ish*
But I like tinkering, mods, and monsters. I know you can do that with the m3, but throw 25k at a M3 or the 50k to buy something else, and ill take a NSX.

You could take the $25k and buy a $5k car and spend $20k moding the shit out of it. It willl definitely be faster but when it comes time to sell, you've only got a $10k car
