M1's unlikely competitor

JB135MDCT · 06-18-2010, 10:29 AM

M1s competitor is an M3, the rest is blah. To even consider a C30/Focus is retarded.

The Mustang has potential when it gets an independent rear end and some treadmill time. SVO or v6TT would help.

The Swedes improved their ideas: Volvo S60 Polestar
And they make no secret that they target the M3 and RS4 customers with this fast tractor.
2953cc - 508hp - 575Nm - 0-62mph in 3.9s - manual transmission
(specs: see http://www.polestar.se/en-int/perfor...-s60-polestar/)

(The Swedes comparing it to M3 and RS4)

^I sat in an S60 Polestar at NAIAS. It was easily one of the best things there.

Sorry, but this prototype costs 200.000 EUR. No wonder it's faster than a M3.

watched a video of this being reviewed by some guys on youtube... this motor sounds absolutely glorious. 100% one of my favorite exhaust notes i've ever heard. I'll try to dig up the video.

Get off your mustang ban wagon! I would like to see ford take this to the ring and see what it can do? that would be a true test on how well this car can handle a demanding race track; not just a 1/4 mile straight line.I bet a 135I can lap faster and an M3 would destroy it!

Get off your German high horse; Mustang 302LS did VIR in 3:02.8; M3 3:05.4 and 1M 3:06.6. I love my 1M and wasn't cross-shopping, but that is not just a straight line car.

Audi RS3 is not a competition... I owned both (switched from the RS3 to the 1M) and the 1M is not only WAY more fun but also faster (as long as you dont start comparing 0-100 where the RS3 uses LC)...

I saw this car, it looks pretty cool. Not sure what you guys think but, I like the color and overall look.

AWD is always fun!
