So was the Jeep faster than the M3?

I ended up with a 43.3s in the M3 in the dry morning and 48.4s in the Jeep in the wet afternoon. Those Yokos are undersized for the Jeep's torque(esp. multiplied by the 4.10 gearing), but really impressed me with their wet handling.

Did the Jeep at least feel faster/scarier?

 

[gradon]

It is always on the traction line and esp in the wet was sliding around. Let off the gas and it'll step back in line.

It is very thrilling. I do feel that I harness it's limits better than the M3's. Driving one for 19 years will do that.
