Listen up shithead,<p>Its poeple like you that piss me off - the M3 is no more of a real sports car than the CLK55 AMG is - Both are tuned coupes, the MB being more luxurious than the M3 - the CLK 55 AMG is a tuned CLK as the M3 is a tuned 3 series. Now, none of those cars are true sports in the sense that a Corvette, Modena, or Porsche is. Granted, they are both fast, but they weren't designed from the ground-up to be a sports car - and I wouldn't be so sure about M3 dusting the CLK55 from 0-60 - don't be suprised that after MB engine is broken in, it can run 0-60 in 4.8 or faster. MB factory times are overly conservative. <p>Just a note to the dolt that said AMG had to use 5.5 liter motor compared to BMW's 3.2 - what the hell are you trying to say - The M3 was delayed because of faulty mechanical elements in the engine that couldn't take the stress of a 8000 rpm red-line. C'mon BMW - leave high redlines to Ferrari and the like. <p>Anyhow, get the hell off this board, if you want to antagonize the Mercedes AMG brand leave - for every AMG Benz one will see 20 M-Bmws like around in here in Dallas - there are 20 M3s for every C36/C43 AMG - the AMG Mercedes is far more exclusive and a better designed car. Remember one thing (and theres no denying this) BMW is a YUPPIE brand - always was - always will be!<p>Babylon - go drive your M3 - rice-ass p.o.s. - I find them horribly offensive and distastelful looking
