oink oink, M3 never really did it for me. Too GT and not enough sports car. Same with the Z series Ms.

C&D only got a 12.4 at 116mph out of the new '08 C6 as well. I figured there would be more in it.

Trap speed of 111mph isn't too bad for the M3 and 0 to 60 isn't bad. Weight is not going to help it on the track at all.

GTR will be faster fo sho. 111 trap speed is quick though for a boat.

I'm holding out to see how much faster that new DSG-like tranny they are going to introduce in this car. I guess BMW is holding out too.

Thanks for the linkie. The absurd key system works 100% better with the Comfort Access option (which should be standard!). Leave the fob in your pocket, press the button, and go.

I won't mess with one on a dry day! This could be my next (dry weather) daily driver.

I'd consider keeping the S2000 + M3 instead of a 911 Cabrio in the next few years.
