No I dont think that is it. I think the people where I live spend their money on cars with more potential. Theirs an NSX that has started to show up at the track with a heavily modded Vtec and a freaking awesome body kit that is handing everyone their ***. Theirs about 20 z06's that also kick everyones butt...and many other cars that cost almost the same but are more useful at the track. An M3 is not a race car. Its just a beefed up BMW where the owners can brag about what they have under the hood.

 

people use m3's for auto-x usually, definitly not a straight line car.

 

wait track... nevermind.... i know there are a lot that do it though, not saying other cars would be faster.
