So there is no credit due here because like expected the sedan is slightly inferior. |
The point is that on this board here been suggesting that M3 V8 has the advantage over the competition for being a Coupe on a track. Its a little bit true but these numbers shows the differences arent huge. This shows that M3 Sedan performs very well despite of weight and lack of CF roof therefore I give the 4-door M3 creds for being so close to M3 Coupé.
I have said that the differences wont be huge on a track and this test proves my point. (and this should shut the nay sayers, they know who they are
). If it was one second difference I would say M3 Coupe would have an advantage over the competition on a track but 0,06 seconds isnt much to argue about. So I think we can cut the BS that M3 Coupé is a much much better handling car then a 4-door M3.
And yeah, the CF roof is just a markeeting gimmick and a design thing. Now I said it!
