In Reply to: 97 or 98 GTS or E46 M3? posted by Roger on May 21, 2000 at 12:39:03:

one is a luxury/sport 4 seater, and the other is a showroom race car. The Viper is hot, but you can tell that the design is old- the interior space and design vs. the exterior is a complete afterthought (there is literally no room), the pedals are to close together, there is no dead pedal and the seating position is a bit off center. The quality is ok, nothing to write home about though (paint is actually pretty good). And the interior gets way too hot in a short amount of time.

The Viper is ridiculous fast, quile the M3 is going to be fast.

Viper has no interior toys, the M3 is going to be full of them.

I really don't view the M3 as a "toy"- 90% of the people I know or have talked to use it as an everyday car. While taking out a Viper is like an event in itself (my buddy has a 97 GTS).

No doubt the Viper is hot, but if you are going to get one wait for the new one- should be out sooner than everybody thinks. Just my opinion.
