I like racing it stock though - to imagine how fast I could run it (though even for my record, I think I spun and hit one wall)... so I keep one Silverstone completely stock. 
The NSX I got to 8:12, and with the F1 I got 6:30 or so.
What a beautiful course...

And btw, my post wasn't meant to start an argument, i was pretty much implying what you stated. They are very different cars and both VERY capable. I was actually curious to know about the whole feeback thing... Just wondering if the M3 (not calling it M or BMW
) actually has a bit more of a luxury (and therefore numb-er) feel to it.Now don't get me wrong again, I'm not saying that the luxury feel makes it worse. I know that BMWs feel amazing when driving and the M3 is towards the top of the chain when it comes to BMWs so its not going to be a "bad" car. I'm specifically referring to how the M3 compares to the S2000 in terms of feedback to the driver and the feel of the car....
1. Cruising - you do not feel the speed in the M. Cruising at 100 feels the same as criusing at 55. I had to set the computer to alert me when I go past 69 (like the number
) MPH because I would think I was cruising along at 55, get on the phone or start playing the radio, then look down to see 80+ 
- you just don't feel it and the car gets there fast! 2. There is a little delay when turning the M - I believe this is due to the weight, but I plan to change this when my ground controls come in
- whereas the S goes as soon as you point.....good doggy
