Modified vs standard is a moot argument though, you could just modify the other car and it would be quicker. Turbo/supercharge the M3 and it would beat the GTI/Leon, big turbo conversion the GTI/Leon and strip it and it would beat the M3....could go on and on!
Not everyone wants to have to modify there car, i dont. Buying a car that was made to do those speeds from new, with parts that will do it all day without failing is more important to me (apart from the early models dodgy SMG lol)
Swings and roundabouts really.

I saw it like this.
E46 M3 aint exactly bulletproof, and expensive to service and repair.
K04 VAG can kick out 360hp after a 20.5 grand investment (going by a std cupra costing 18k) which will allow it to run with cars over twice the price. So you can have a brand new car, that costs as much as a used E46 M3, but is quicker. For me its all about the bang for buck.
Plus at the end of the day, you can pretty much have as much power as you want out of any engine, as long as your wallet can accomodate it.

C'mon, Phil, just like with tuning GTI being blasphemy, once you get M3 you'll be the biggest fan. :grin:
