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.

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..
