I've said that many times on here and got temporarily banned etc. Gotta be careful what you say around here. I mean look at the new M3/M4... most boring, least emotional M car ever built. I just did a direct comparison to the E92 M3 2 weeks ago and wow.... yes the E92 is much slower but so much more fun to drive. Problem is it's more and more a mass product and the mass is easy to impress. As soon as a car is fast it's emotional to them. Take the GTR for example. One of the most dull and boring driving experiences unless you floor it from 0-100 mph.
