Surely this web-site has some experts on this stuff... Regardless Bruce - The M3 WAS built to race. I know it was.

The GT3 was built to do nothing but race. The M car CAN be raced and is. It is a vastly different car. Go buy a GT3 and use it everday to commute to work.

Good luck with that!

And then there is that price difference!
