And ill take a v8 camaro over a m3 any day, zero torque, annoying clutch, okay the interior is lightyears ahead of any american car but id still rather pay 20k less for a faster car.

Good points! Though I can't say I don't like the power delivery or the clutch. The one I drove was smooth and shifted very nicely. Plus, the BMW 6 is 3.? liters, yes? Isn't the Chevy 6 4.?? liters? Should be easier to get close to that 300hp mark, and with DOD still keep good economy. Maybe they can use the inline on the Pontiac version (ok, so I am dreaming here) like the old Sprint6!
