IS-F fit in??? lol

If the new M3 got spanked by the GT3 then what makes you think the IS-F has a chance??

Again the GT3 is a pure track car. M3 is a all around performace car. Totally different cars. Awesome video though.

This was a nice vid I agree that the GT3 is an all out track car and has better straight line speed. Did you guys notice when twist and turns were added to the mix, how the Porshe GT3 oversteered when compared to the M3?

Default Gt3

So I went to dealer for service this morning and they have a GT3 in the showroom.. before I walk over to BMW side to get a ride home I sat in the GT3 for a bit to kill time.. so after that I went over to BMW and sat in their car.. to be honest it just feel diffrent.. Sitting in the Porsche I know I'm in a sports car.. but in a BMW..well.. it feel just like a regular car... I guess I still prefer Porsche...

here is few pic I took this morning...
