a terminator cobra with light mods, (pulley, intake, exhaust, tune) will kill the m3. The cobra's torque curve will destroy the m3

A stock terminator would rip that.

06 M3 makes 333hp 262tq not even to the wheels
03 Cobra 390hp 385tq weighs lighter, do the math

The Cobra will annhilate any type of M3 in straight line racing... the M3 has a good shot at winning in twisties, but we all know nobody really on here races in twisties a select few only do...

but you cannot compare the cars... the M3's are incredibly refined.. I would love a M3, and if something ever happened to my Cobra, and i didn't want another one - that's the car I would probably get, just for the all around car.

I don't get why you're asking for all these car comparisons... your asking about all types of cars... If you want an opinion go do some reading.. look at hp, tor, weight, suspension. If you want a Cobra the comparisons aren't needed, if you are questioning your decision - these posts shouldn't effect it. You cannot compare a BMW M3 to any Ford product, they're just built for different reasons..

Funny thing you ask that question... The guy i bought my car from told me as he was selling me his car he was going to buy a m3 next haha. He called me 2 months later and said he wished he didn't sell his car haha.
