great laptime for M3 when I check that list and the slalom speed for the M3 is impressive, even R8 gets raped badly

and that 0-200km/h time for M3 is the best I've seen. Good brakes too.

Re: Autozeitung: R8 vs M3 vs C6 - 09-05-2007, 05:21 PM

The M3 numbers are good BUT the car was tested on Pilot Sport Cup tires. The R8 was on Pzeros and the C6 was on Goodyear F1 tires. That goes a long way toward explaining the slalom and braking times.

I don't know why Autozeitung tested the M3 in that configuration. The M3 cannot even be ordered with Cups.
