Does this depress anyone else?

This depresses me because the M3 is a car that I aspire to, and I always thought that through the gears it is has amazing power and acceleration. I hope the M3 driver was either dumbing it down, or he cant drive properly!

It's an M3 convertible so it will be slightly heavier than the standard version.
Anyway, if you were given the choice would you really choose the Paxo ?!?!

No chance

I didnt notice it was a convertible. I just hate the fact that a saxo can beat an M3!!

All part of the appeal for some folk!

I used to have a Mk1 Sierra, 4 speed 'box with a 2.0 engine (BVH, twin choke Weber)
It cost me £90, the engine was er..... donated :|

At the time it would drop my mate's £6,500 Cavalier SRi 16v at any speed under 100, which really, really upset him.

£6500 for a Cav SRi 16v..........that must have been a long time ago!!

I know that, but even if it did cost 16k, i wouldnt be interested... the best mod i have ever seen is the liquorice dispencer the "Murf Mobile" was fitted with in the movie Waynes World.

I preferred the soda gun.

The video made me think that an M3 cant be that fast if a 200 bhp saxo can beat it.

But, I guess after than 1/4 mile the M3 would probably blaze the saxo.
