Craziness

Guys, you are crazy indeed. This car is going to have an fantastic power to weight ratio (even if it bloats out a bit more that we all suspect).

It will likely match or best the M5/6 in 0-60 mph which is damn fast, 4.2 s. The M3 historically does so and it should not be different this time. Of course from 100-150 M5/6 will stomp the new M3.

As far as looks go it is always the same, many bash the new model a bit then 6 months after it is out and seen and tested by the mags everyone is literally drooling for/on the car. History will repeat itself again, as is usual.

What I really want to know is if it will lap the Nurburgring faster than 8 mins. Since the car has been favorably benchmarked against the Porsche 911 and will have a better power to weight ratio I think it will!
