What's up people? I've been debating over this issue for several weeks now and as the time is coming I have to choose between a 03 cobra or a 03 m3. I love both cars but I'm having trouble choosing between the 2. I know the cobra has an awesome s'charged 390hp v8 and the m3 has a in-line 6 with 333hp. The cobra will beat it on the 1/4 mile BUT not on the track. I dont care to pay extra for the m3 but I want to know from you guys which car will be most fun to drive. What car will have me drooling every time I see it parked in my front yard and what car will have heads turning. I own a 98cobra and I want those extra ponies, i feel I need them. Please give me your insight on this issue that has me sleepless at night! ! !

I think you need to drive each one of them and then decide. All I can tell you is the grin from driving a Cobra is hard to beat .

The M3 was decent out of the hole , but after I shift into 2nd gear he was smoked. M3s look nice dont get me wrong but ill take my 400+ hp anyday..

There's one MAJOR drawback to buying an M3 - you end up owning a BMW!
