ONe thing I realized

I was an avid BMW owner, I've had all the revisions of the M3 since I was 17 (e30, e36, E46, E30 is still my favorite). But I can attest that porsche technology is so far more advanced although the version I had did have it's fair share of reliability problems. A 2004 M3 is nice and will always be, but think about the old legendary 1988 944 Turbo S. Stock was 250HP, and just chipped + exhaust it bumped up to 330 Horses. I can honestly say that 1988 car felt just as stable if not more at 190MPH as an E46 M3 is at 170MPH. does it really take BMW 15 years to catch up with Porsche? Is that why porsches are twice as expensive ? I just wish my boxster was as fast as my old turbo S. =( If anyone was thinking what the hell I was doing going that fast, I didn't know myself, but I just got caught up in a little race on a 4 lane highway after losing a championship basketball game.

Why not pick up a cream puff 951 and go nuts. They are nice cars despite the negativety torwards them. I wouldn't mind having a 300hp+ 951. Perhaps I'l get one someday to add to the fun car list.
