Car movement when hitting the gas pedal is relative to what you drive / have driven. You get spoiled when your car moves when you hit the gas pedal. I can appreciate where he is coming from

All about power-to-weight, bruh.

I like a good 500-hp-anything as much as the next guy, but to say that "300 hp is on the bare minimum of acceptable" without also specifying an ideal curb weight is incredibly short-sighted and frankly, meaningless.

My Denali makes 335/385 but weighs as much as the White House. My M3 "only" dynos at 206/212 but doesn't weigh all that much. I guess the GMC is the one with an acceptable level of power though.

I thought the power to weight concept was kind of understood when talking about a car accelerating. Stephen obviously had his head in the right place. I guess the rrrrrraceeeeekarrrrr drivers get more bent out of shape about the numbers?

It's been a while since I have driven in an E46 M3 and the one I drove in was an SMG but I was really impressed with the overall package. I am sure you will be just fine with the power (to weight and how that affects the acceleration of the vehicle in a straight line from A to B and out of the corners).
