: This is not flame bait. I am making the following choice in the near future (6 months.)
: I am almost 80% for the Dodge (will be about $55 to $60k) so about $5 to $10K more, over the E46 M3 (I am top of list for one of Houston's dealerships.)
: Either will be purely a weekend car. I will never need cargo space and will never have more than 1 other person in the car; also, I actually like the look of no backseats better in a sports car. Also, I will start taking racing lessons at a public track.
: The Dodge will have 3,000 to 10,000 miles (likely around 5,000.) So even though the Dodge will be used, my choice is basically like comparing two NEW cars.
: It seems on accelerating, top speed, handling, braking (I will probably upgrade to Brembo brakes on the Dodge – living in Houston, upgrades are easy with Hennesey (spelling??) in town) and looks the Dodge leads. Also, I love the exotic look and how rare they are (I see maybe 1 a month at most on public roads.) Also, if I get bored after a year or two, for $25K I can get horsepower to 650+ and torque to 700 lbs/foot.
: Excluding cargo space and room for more than two (actually maybe “more than 1” - that Dodge is the smallest car I have ever seen in interior room) what should I consider in the comparison????????????
: Again, this is not flame bait. It is between these two cars for my next toy.
