Yeah... you have all the freedom in the world below the listed speed limit...

Sorry, couldn't resist the jab But I like to be more pragmatic. I understand the application and love to have fun on public roads as well - give me a good set of twisties (severely lacking in the shitty midwest that I live in) and I'll have a blast.

I personally just think the definition of a "sports car" has evolved. The M3 is not a track car, but it has the capability to handle the track out of the box. It's not a 2 seater convertible, but it'll sure as hell give you a ton of thrills in the twisties. Call it a "sports sedan" or a "very sporty GT car" if you'd like.
