Hello Mate
Its superb. Sounds awesome from inside. For some reason they sound crap outside. It shifts too - very fast once you get near the ton. Need to get used to all that power through the rears. You can't just floor it in the wet and I can still spin the rears up in 1st and 2nd in the dry without meaning it. Semi manual box is probably the best single aspect - its great when you're really trying.
I'll give you a run for your money up the Bypass now
Will have to be in a couple of weeks time (get married this weekend)

Congratulations mate, all the best! Definately wouldn't mind a passenger ride in it......as for the race.....only in the wet! I would have thought its excellent to drive with power all through the revs not just a 3.5k burst from your old STI.

I can vouch for the performance of the M3 - from the passenger seat anyway. Full throttle paddle gear shifts are something else ! It's certainly different to the Sti (which I bought off Matt) as the M3 has power all through the range - and the sound !
I think the M3 is quicker - even to 90, beyond that it would leave the Sti behind for sure. As for the twisties - not sure - could be interesting.
