well, i'm sure everyone agrees.
but we're talking about a b18b LS here. no vtec. terrible power numbers. theft prone. decent handling. lighter than the lude. but really, not the same kind of car.
the only reason i see for getting an LS is you can find one dirt cheap, you're going to do a K20 swap, or you're going to race it in a particular series where the LS is an overdog (not many series like that, but a couple where an LS is competitive.)
and the E36 M3 might just be one of the greatest cars ever designed. Beyond straight line performance, it's the perfect blend of luxury, practicality, and all-around performance that not many cars have ever been able to match. my next car will be a 95 m3...
