Why not...as no one is tracking GT3's and talking about it
So, at Silverstone you have about a 5% delta to the Porsche, assuming GT4 and slightly tweeked 6GT3 are similar. More seat time and a bit more weight reduction im sure it would be closer.
My experience is similar, at Zandvoort closer to 3% and at the ring maybe similar but so many variables....
Good fun though. I can't honestly say when driving the M i am not feeling short changed, its good fun trying to get the best out of anything really although on the one occaision i took my golf gti on a circuit its was awful...the basics have to be there, brakes, some grip, noise and a bit of power to weight after that alls good. Ther is quite a bit of modding to do on the e46 to get it in the zone but it's relatively cheap and an enjoyable process. The thing it really hammers home though is how damn good the GT cars are out of the box.
