But, the aesthetic appeal of the S65 M3 can't be matched by those cars, IMO. I'm CLEARLY biased but, gotta accept the facts. It's VERY expensive to make an M3 fast, in a straight line.
??? I hit 567 RWHP uncorrected with the ESS VT2 625 ($12K) and an x-pipe ($1.2K) on pump gas.

And if you look at the compilation vid posted in this very thread, I put 2-3 cars on a 996 turbo which had a turbo upgrade, exhaust, GIAC tune. Put 2-3 cars on a stock 2013 GTR, and previously at Shift-Sector, tied Robert/Vishnu's built Z06 with heads/cam/exhaust and lightened making 585 RWHP.

I paid a lot less for my M3 plus mods than what these guys have in their cars.
