Agree that neither car is being driven 10/10s, but I think neither brakes nor suspension are relative weaknesses in the M-lite, considering its lighter weight. As mentioned earlier, it's a bit unfair because the current M3 platform is 6 years old, with a NA V8. It ought to make the case to the M engineers that the next generation M3 will need to be a cracker....which suggests it will be all over the current gen M5 when released.

Ah, sibling rivalry. Properly directed, it produces amazing results
