05 6MT will smoke a 330 and that's the right comparison.
If you want to compare your G to an M3, then you must compare it with a GT-R version.
My buddy has a E36 and we talk **** back and forth all the time. And in all that time... we get miata guys that can rip on us at auto-x. He can take me in a straight drag but not by much. I wouldn't even try to drag an E46.

It would be a close race in the 1/4 mile. They both do the 1/4 in 13.1-13.4, with the STI having the advantage at the beginning because of AWD and close gearing, and the M3 pulling after 80 mph. The M3 usually traps 105-107, while the STI traps 102-103.

Yes - the M3 is overpriced in a sense that it doesn't buy you a whole lot of luxury, or a whole lot of speed for 60 grand. But if you've ever driven either car, you would know that for half the price an Sti is only half the car in comparison.
