But speed can be compared, and it is fair to do so. For some in the 90s, older cars were faster (at least in europe) thx to newer regulations. Now it has changed again (for some time already...), and people must accept that older cars are most of the time slower with the same base numbers.

[@Slevis57]

@@sashoxxx Wouldnt make much of a difference for the Yaris cause of gearing & the torque curve of that engine, meanwhile the E46 M3 in 2nd gear @30 mph is like 4k rpm, @50 on the other hand is like 6,5k-7k, that's where the music starts in the S54.

Have had both of these... the M3 every single day and forever over the GR... A few small mods and the E46 M3 feels modern again. If you get one, get it with the later ABS/DSC module; MK60 (>10/2002 build), and get M track mode + faster steering rack. If SMG, get CSL tune.
