I think we all stopped watching this guy with his first M3 video when he couldn't figure out how to use the car.

It wasn’t him that was poor in the last video, but his buddy. With that said, if his buddy was in the gt350, it’s most likely quite a bit quicker than what was shown.

I watched it. It was him in the bad video where he couldn't get the car over 4k RPM or figure out how to use the car's modes. Within the first minute of this video he corrected his "twin turbo" to "twin-power turbo", which was incorrect. Wish we could see what RPM he was shifting at in this video and what tires were on both cars.

He's driving OK in this video, from what I could see. Seems like he does still need to do his research before filming.

The GT350 sounds utterly fantastic.

My best friend used to have a GT350 and my untuned F80 non-comp 6MT was always identically fast no matter the starting speed. Something isn't right here...

The GT350 and even a regular 5.0 manual has terrible gearing. Very hard to launch cleanly.

I have owned both. They are both awesome for different reasons. The GT350 is a track machine with probably the best manual transmission ever made.
The M3 is less edgy, but still amazing. I preferred to drive the M3 every day, but the GT350 on weekends and to show off. Plus the sound the 350 makes is otherworldly.
Both cars got an insane amount of attention from random strangers. I ended up in countless conversations about both cars with strangers in parking lots, drive, thought, and on streets. Random photo ops almost daily in both cars.
