Why wouldn't the aftermarket warranty cover a stock motor?
I'm sure they will question it, but to imply that they will deny it in MOST of the cases is simply inaccurate. Correct me if i am reading you wrong.
I know several people that had their engines replaced under aftermarket warranty, including two that were a 996 C2 car and a E46 M3.

Evo's are light and they hook well...

What mods on your EVO? I have definitely seen some sick EVO's... and I doubt your EVO is stock if it's walking a 996TT...

where in chicago are you at? I can show you what a stock 996tt will do to the new M3..How do i know ? I raced my friends car when i was stock several times. In fact my tuned 335i pulled like 2 cars every single time.
I do agree with Heavychevy...its a more rewarding car to drive out of the box. Just want to give the credit where its due.

And even a clown should be able to run mid 12's in a TT while it will take a very good driver to run that in the M3. I give the TT a significant advantage on the road course too.

I agree, not a drivers race at all unless the M3 driver is significantly better than the TT driver. It's your race to lose in the TT. I've seen a stock 3800 lb (w/ driver) TT cab trap 114 which is what most E92's will trap on the high end. The TT is hands down faster, even the non X-50.

Either way, it's a moot point

Full bolt-on stock turbo Evo IX tuned for 23psi and I beat a 996TT from a second gear roll while I was on 20psi (low boost).... Which is why I don't think any regular 996TT will trap 118...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_a6IsVijWw that 996 only had exhaust at that time of race. But then again wicked mike could pwn anyone in any car.. or so the legend says.

Even still all faster than typical E92's. Probably about 2-3 mph on the same night. And BMW's suck at launching so there you have it.

I have personally been denied coverage on my car for an RMS issue. they claim its a pre existing condition. I could go to small claims court...but not worth my time.
I had to do the clutch so when its out i would change the $20 seal anyway.
My point is they are beyond ridiculous when it comes to issues above 2k at a single time. I just cant see them paying for a blown motor.
I am actually thinking of getting my refund back prorated. Then throw that 2k in the bank and if something fails it will be enough to fix. These cars have very few known problem areas.

Both cars are great, but remember you are compairing a car that came out in 01 to a car that just got released. The M3 offers more techno gadgets and where as the 996tt is a little outdated. The new M3 however is not as raw feeling as the 996tt. The e92 M3 is very heavy and bulky. Its very water down compaired what I consider the best "m" the e36. The tuning potential on the 996tt is much greater then the e92 m3. Both cars are legends in their own right.

I know atleast one local car (996 tt x50) who was in a situation . he had a intermediate shaft issue and got denied so he dumped the car in a auction.
