Question M3 vs gs430

If these two went head-to-head from a stop who would win. M3= 333hp, 262torque 3.2 inline 6 dohc

GS 430= 300hp 4.3 v8 5 sp auto

These were the only numbers I could find
Offhand it would seem like the M3 would win.

Can't get weight numbers on M3 but GS is 3715 lbs. M3 is 6 speed manual.

I think the M3 would lose to the new GS430, when the M3 driver sees the Lexus, he's going to puke all over his interior. Have you seen that GS430 ?

M3 will be gone with the wind....M3-6 speed manual, 0-60 4.9 seconds... no way the GS can do the same in under 5 seconds...more like mid fives..

m3 ...why?
1) lighter
2) closer gear ration
3) built to be driven fast but smooth, as for the gs its built to be smmoth but yet its fast..IMO
