It did, but I had (have until Sunday...) a full exhaust and some other minor mods that made it pull 570 to the rear wheels... it’s a beast of a car and with every nanny disengaged (Cadillac had their own track mode) it can get break loose very easy coming out of a turn if you just let loose. My point was that’s not as much of an issue with the M3P.
As far as worrying about gas on a 70k car, yes and no. If ur truly wealthy (which is MUCH different than rich) then you probably won’t even look at a 70k car. My CTS-V stickered out at 81k in 2009; could I go and slap that down on a car now? Sure. But why becomes the question. We’re sorta off topic and treading into finances which is very personal to some, but my basic argument is why blow money (whether you have it or not) that you really don’t need to blow?
At this point I’d rather work towards a second home than blow 100k on a first or second car. Cars are terrible investments. I set my sights on an awesome daily driver that’s under 70k for a variety of reasons. Choice, not necessity. I’d simply rather have the remaining 20-30k for something else at this point and I’m paying cash anyhow. It’s an unfortunate reality that most in our country frequently buy/finance things they either can’t afford or barely can afford. I just don’t see the need to spend 100k when I can get what I need and want for 60...
