Now if you just want a streetlight racer and want to enjoy that 0.7s advantage to the 1/4 then the RS3 does it's job. However, if you are an enthusiast who enjoys more than hammering the accelerator coming out of cars and coffee, and actually drives well rounded performance cars as intended then the more dynamic, better handling, better braking, and more fun to drive M2C checks many more boxes. Performance is more than just mashing the pedal, anyone can do that. It takes skill, guts, and a well tuned piece of engineering to navigate a decreasing radius turn with an elevation change. Different tools for different jobs.
If find it so strange that people claim to be enthusiasts and hold only the 1/4 as the single metric for performance when it's not only just one of many, but not even the most important nor the most exciting one.

well said! i chose the m340 over the m3 just because of the newer tech, awd speed and torque.... we dont have tracks in new york. doesn't make sense.
