The handling is obvious, but the chassis dynamics is very balanced. In other words, not just turning a corner at a greater speed, but doing it with a lot of composure and balance. I have owned a 993 and a C6Z06, I feel that the M3 gives me a higher intrinsic satisfaction than these sport cars, let alone the AMG. It's a lot more tossable/trackable, and that's a lot more than just mere handling. Also, the visceral thrill of rowing through 6 speed in a high revving sweet balanced inline 6 is very nice, it gets better gas mileage, pretty sure it brakes better (feels like it), easier to park, shorter turn radius, better stereo with the HK...

As far as the composure and balance in regards to the handling, I would have to agree with you. It does make for a bit more "thrilling" ride. The M3 is a fantastic car in its own way, but I don't track my car yet, nor do I care too much for twisties, but rather brute, neck snapping acceleration. Hence, why I went with AMG.In all seriousness, I like the M cars, but it's the drivers with their "My car is faster and better mentality," that gives them such a bad rep. And yes, I know about 6 M3 driving acquaintances that ALL fit that generalized demographic description, so I am not going out on a limb when I make that stereotype. Its always a few bad apples that make everyone look bad.

I'm not sure what to say about an M being easier to park than an AMG. Thanks for the info though!

Some idiot in a M3 convertible did that when he was trying to show off to some guy in a C55. I was riding my R6 and he almost hit me! Had to brake and swerve to avoid him. But when he was stopped in traffic up ahead i kicked his door in and punched his mirror

Plus i just lane splitted away while he was stuck in traffic. Idiots who cut me off or swerve into my lane always get a door kick from me.

), but a ton of people who drive G35s think they're gods. The other day, I was hanging out with some friends, and on the way home from dinner, we pull up to the light, and this dbag starts revving his black G35. Both our windows were down, and I essentially whispered to my friend that it looks like he wants to race (sarcastically). Somehow, he hears me, and calls me a eff-a-gee-gee-oh-tee. I just turn, and look at the dude, and tell him I like his dad's car. Dude goes off, cursing me off, calling me names, and tells me it's his car, and that his dad drives a Porsche. I just sat there laughing, and Mr. asshat zooms off like the dbag that he is.
Turns out, he was some ahole who graduated from the same high school as me, the year before. He was one of those popular dudes who strolled around the school like they owned the place.

Mothereffing truth, unfortunately. Good chance I get a G35 in the next few years (unless the parents want to make me super happy and get me a used CLS ), but a ton of people who drive G35s think they're gods.
