Is it me or did the M3 driver have no clue about hitting the apex and the Z driver used his brakes in the oddest places?

And what about the guys driving the Lotus'...............wtf? Get a Pinto!

sorry but the z wont stand a chance. you'll be blown away by the e92 m3. it's so much faster and more superior to the e46. a friend of mine has one. 414 hp really make it go! the e92 is in the league of the corvette, 911 carrera, viper, vanquish, etc...

The E46 is garbage. My friend has one and it is very unimpressive. It only has power between 6K rpm and redline. Took him for a ride in the Z and he really liked the torque and power. He said the Z would wipe the floor with the M. He's looking to trade up to a E63 Mercedes. The E92 has us by 80hp but I'm still curious of it's capabilities.

You're obsolutely correct!

911 carrera vs. E92 M3: (M3 is faster)
Porsche 997 Carrera vs BMW M3 (E92) - FastestLaps.com

C6 vette vs. E92 M3: (M3 is faster)
Chevrolet Corvette C6 vs BMW M3 (E92) - FastestLaps.com

Viper vs. E92 M3: (Fairly close)
Dodge Viper SRT-10 vs BMW M3 (E92) - FastestLaps.com

Vanquish vs. E92 M3: (M3 is faster)
Aston Martin V8 Vantage (380bhp) vs BMW M3 (E92) - FastestLaps.com

Seems a lot of folks are misinformed regarding the E92 M3

Good info. Shows how fast the new m3 is. Suposedly the new 5.0 Mustang can keep up with it according to stats. We will have to wait and see for that one.

Only in the straights, the M3 will still outhandle the 'Stang.
