So let me see if I'm summarizing this properly:
I should buy a 60K M3 so I can race around in first gear. The rest of the time, despite the engine's awesome whizzing noises, the car is still slower than the 7-year old Z06. Sweet. EDIT: Isn't 1st gear where you care the least because you're already near the limits of the tires? I want more wheel torque in 2nd and 3rd, and I don't love having to shift out of 1st gear too soon. |
