5th Gear M3 GTS
Anyone else see this? VBH was mad on it and couldn't even decide between that and GT3RS
 , times seem to tell a different story though. Have I missed something?

 one would assume this thing is much quicker than we've been lead to believe - certainly looks that way from the vid..BTW i also recall the new Gayman R being slightly quicker as well - does anyone know what rubber the GTS was running for this test?

I've yet to see anyone being that impressed by M3csl e46.
Something definitely doesn't add up here in regard to race track times... CSL vs GTS. What tyres did the GTS run on when it set 7.48 ring time? Better chassis, much more power... how can it only be 2 seconds faster? |

It looked and sounded, fucking awesome IMO
And I reckon it is slowly starting to show a bit of purpose. It certainly looked like she was creaming her knickers driving it

Even being on cups +, had it been on CSL cups tyres, the time might have been low 7.40s IMO I'm not an expert on racing though.

]If they where both 30k which would you buy
I know the CSL wouldn't get a second glance Regardless of times it WILL be a far superior car in every way. You can tell just from that vid that it would be an occasion every time you drive it But for us mere poor folk the CSL is far far better for us Last edited by shane@mbtech; 09-04-2011 at 07:58 AM. |
