Because you can't daily drive a Viper.

Again... m3 is gutless, torqueless and guzzles gas.

Does a 120lbs woman really need 600lb/ft? Putting her in any car against a 200lbs man and she already has an 80lbs weight reduction.

I take it the new M5 is out of your price ranger? What about an Aston Martin Vantage or GTR? Both can be had for ~60-65k

ctsv has horrible gas mileage if that is a concern.

Which it is since one of his complaints about the M3 is "Guzzles gas". Also, M3 gutless? It's as fast as the 5.0 Mustang but way better built, better looking and there isn't 20 every time you go out for a drive.

It is gutless. It feels slow bc of no torque. It feels like a bigger fatter s2000

S65 = 5 times consecutive engine of the year award for 3-4 litre, gutless LOL

to the OP, just get a corvette if you want low down torque you obviously have no idea how a gearbox works

The M3 has one of the flattest torque curves in any car on the market, all the way from 3900 to 8400

But he complains the M3 has no torque and it's gutless yet it's as fast, if not faster (4.5-4.7 0-60 vs 4.8 for the Stang) than the Mustang GT which weighs the same and has 100 lbs/ft more torque. But you get the fit and finish of an M3 instead of a Mustang which everyone owns.

Then you get the CTS-V which has over 100 more HP and over 250 more lbs/ft and a 0-60 time of 4.0-4.3. So I fail to see how the M3 is gutless. Not to mention he has a BRZ on the list which makes no sense after that statement.

Gutless? Also the CTS-V is more of a gas guzzler.

Some threads here really make me doubt humanity sometimes.

Get your GF a camry, you have no clue
