By this I assume you mean there is no comparison in a straight line, but I think you would find that your BMW handles considerably better if any steering input is required. Here is a little list of a number of cars' lap times around the Nurburgring. Note the M3 CSL is about fifth (sports tyres granted) on the list here, with the standard M3 some 45 seconds slower. Only two American muscle cars in this list though, with a number of BMW's making a decent showing. Again it is all relative, and depends what sort of driving you are doing, but I can assure you that your BMW will remain much more compossed on more challenging roads.
