Don't get me wrong, the current M3 is one hell of an impressive car - it's no wonder so many publications consider it one of the best driver's cars in the world. I would absolutely love to have one in my garage. But it also made me realize just how good the Crossfire really is.

You should seriously consider doing articles for Road & Track, MT, and the like.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the kind words!

It's a freakin' incredible engine is what it is. And it pulls hard and strong all the way around the tach, too.
