decision....

if you had to chose between an M3 or a Cobra R, what would you chose??

They are both priced similarly but that Ford does pump out 385 horsies, while the M3 will make you soil your pants!!!!! Then again, it's a Ford vs a BMW.

Man that is a really hard decision, but insurance wise I think it would be better to get the m3. I've ridden in a cobra and you can squeak the tires shifting in all 5 gears. But the gas guzzler is prolly more fun and personally I would go with the m3. Better resale and the ladies will be thinking bmw instead of ford because most won't know a difference between a cobra and a regular stang. But I think the cobra would be more fun and a@@ kicking than the m3. But I've personally haven't seen many or been in any m3's so I don't know how the m3 stands performance wise but the resale of a bmw would most likely be better and less problems. If you had that decision between those 2 then why not try for an s2000. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] 10000rpm redline. Can't you just hear the engine whining. Or maybe an rx7 with a new motor with upgraded seals and new turbos and tranny. Those are fun rice rockets but watch out not to put too much boost or you'll be needing another motor. I think once I get my civic paid off I'll trade for a 93-95 rx7 with a new motor, turbos, and tranny. Just a few suggestions.

Cobra Rs are bad@$$ cars. As sick as they are, i would still go with the M3. There's something about German engineering...

I miss my cobra so I would go with a Cobra R. You just cant get the sound from an M3 like the one from a Cobra.

are you kidding?? how many mustangs do you see when your out driving, lots huh? now how many M3's?

most people cant even tell the difference between a cobra, GT, Saleen, or just a basic mustang! so why pay so much more for it?

that BMW is sweet as hell, and you still get 333 horsies....gonna be hard to beat you! plus its not domestic!

M3 all the way!!!!!!!!!

well, how many Cobra R's do you see on the road?? I, personally have never seen one but I've seen a couple of M3's around.

I would still chose the M3, though.
