As a M3 fanboy I am pleased to see the M3 come out on top. As a rational car enthusiast this article makes me embarrassed for BMW and BMW enthusiasts alike. Looks like the game was fixed before it ever started.

Anyone who jumps on this bandwagon needs to take an honest look at themselves. How many times do we hear on this forum that it is performance numbers and lap times that really matter and the numbers do not lie? (Well Look at the numbers of the three contestants and report back). Then blast someone who minimizes the importance of all these crazy numbers and focuses instead on actual driving attained through such cognitive/physical sensations such as steering feel, seat of the pants feel, fits like a glove feel, the feel of acceleration, cornering feel, braking feel and of course the all important panache factor. And all accomplished without thinking about or recording a single solitary number. Now how archaic is that?
