I rode in a new M3 SMG a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed with the performance.

I can't put my finger on it, but I just can't bring myself to like the 3 series no matter what guise it comes in.

Guys...and gals :-D

With a MSRP of $47K, what do you expect? I would hope a $47K M3 with 300+hp would beat a car that has a MSRP of $37K and 280ish hp. The comparison is getting a little old (or is that me getting old....I forgot). Anyway, someone once said this issue is apples and oranges. I bet if you spent $10K modding your G you could probably beat the M3. My point, you got what you paid for (and it is quite nice I might add) so enjoy it. My buddy who drives a Honda Accord probably could mod his car up to my $37K G and beat me.

$37K you paid way too much for your G!!! A BARE M3 is 47,300.00 you might get it for 46,000.00 if your lucky. A G35 with EVERY Option is 40,000.00MSRP you'd prob. get it for 37K if not cheaper!

BTW a honda element is a brick not a M3

Lol just thought i'd chime in.
Even heavily modded most accords suck ****.
I have a 6th gen 02 Accord Coupe as a daily driver(bought new for 24,600)
even with 12 - 15k in mods it'd have a hard time catching a M3 or a G35.
5k = New Transmission, 6k = CL/TL/7th Gen accord engine, and you'd need the rest for labor. you wouldn't even have enough money for FI.
7th gen accords however have the capability of being sick.. with the 6-speed transmission. but they still look fugly to me.

Forgive me guys for trying to make a point here....and perhaps I did it the wrong way. My point is if you pay a lot of money for a specific car, you expect it to be better than cheaper cars. However, if you bought a cheap car, you could perhaps invest in it to give you what the expensive car would give.

I don't know much about mods so I am not going to say a modded Accord could beat a G...maybe so...maybe not....I don't know. However, I used G vs. a modded Accord as a way of explaining myself....didn't mean to offend anyone.

I still stick to my point....pay $47K for a car and it ought to look and perform better than a car in the $37K price range (at least that is how my mind works). If it does not, it sucks!

Look at the Mustang GT, its around 25K, has 300HP, it could compare to the G. Kinda tired of comparing our car the the M3. The M3 is lot more expensive and I'm sure it would be really hard to get one for 46K new. While its easiler to get a G for 33K. With the G, just spend around 5K to get a TT kit, and you could surpass the M3 anyday of the week. With the TT kit, your looking at around 380HP So for about 38K, you could get yourself a M3 killer. The G and the M3 looks equally as nice IMO. Whenver I see a M3, I be like, damn that looks nice, too bad its too expensive. While with the G, I get the same great look, just weaker HP, which could improve with $$$. K, end of the debate.
