That's a pretty impartial review. It's ridiculous how they put lug nuts on a 120k car. The M3's formula appears to be to Strip down the car and charge those suckers double for it!

GT3 RS 4.0 is in a totally different ballpark compared to the 2 cars. A 997 GT3 would be more of a fair fight.

I will take The Monkeys reviews and opinions any day. I had the pleasure to meet him at Sebring last year. Very nice guy, very good driver, and also journalist.
I believe the price range in Europe is closer on all 3 cars than here, maybe that's why the comparo.
Either way if compared to a GT3 3.8 the result would be the same.
They could use the top of the line criteria, just thinking out loud, who knows.
Great video

Very well produced video. Certainly worth the watch in 720p and with good speakers or headphones.

Totally subjective. It's definately more comfortable than the CLK BS. It's a bit better than the P30 C63 with the sport suspension on really rough roads (the P30 suffered from a bouncy ride over bumps) but its stiffer than both cars. Throw it on smooth roads and the order shuffles around.

I prefer it over the CLK BS because my gf finds the CBS tolerable so I can drive more often lol.

After 965 miles, I think it is more comfortable than the other cars in our curent fleet. Sounds better too!!

Worth every minute. Chris Harris is such an entertaining reviewer to watch. He's more interesting than Tiff Needel and less hyperbolic than the Top Gear guys, but with photography as good as either of them.

Linked to the front page as well.

That was a really well done review, I'm surprised that I had not seen this guy before. He nails the ultimate objective: defining the nature of each of the vehicles. While all 3 are very capable, the Black wins the GT class hands down while the RS simply has a performance threshold the others can't compare. The better the driver, the wider the margin. The BMW honestly seems to float in the middle, sort of a pseudo race car without quite the stuff to hang with the hard core types. This was actually very refreshing to watch compared to seeing Clarkson deliberately thrash every AMG then complain about it's performance.

I never go half the speed these cars can reach, but it's still fun seeing a pro putting them through the paces. Fine video.
