I am aware of the Motor Trend ..etc comparisons and lap times.. but if you look at that race track , you will see that it is considered to be a high speed race track which does not test which car is superior in cornering.. so of course both cars are in the 400s bHp range and they will provide similar numbers.. but with a very tough race track, the story will be diffrent..

Put Normal people in both cars not professional race drivers and send them to the Nordschleife and lets see which car will handle best... If you never been there you will never understand how hard it is to drive a v8 fast on that track..

For Pro drivers, the M3 will win but it will not be blow out.. For Normal people the M3 will be way way ahead..

the current E92 suspension, chassi and LSD is superior to the ones from a stock GT!!
