As will the M3, it just wont feel as viloent through it (though BMWs arent exactly sprung choushie, its just more sophisticated in the tuning). the camaro will provide snap your neck tourqe and a power curve that makes sure you know its here to kick ass, but when you look out your window im sure you will see an M3 right there. so can a camaro hang? absolutely. which would I rather own? the Camaro because its got so much more potential, can keep up stock for stock, and i could stomach the insurance and car payment. which would I rather drive? the M3 because its just so much more refined, smooth, and luxurious. not to mention its the new world benchmark for sportcoupes.

And it's only got 295 ft pds of tourque that's pathetic sorry I'll stick with the SS plus the M3 looks boooring like all BMWs were as the SS just looks damn hot and unique
