A lot of people say things can be faster without sliding - but sometimes the lap with a bit of sideways sliding is the fastest lap.

It all depends on how much speed you can carry before it slides and how much speed after the corner is achieved with a slide. A strategic slide can be a good way to change direction quickly without losing RPM/speed. A quick sideways flick is not the same as a full on tire burning drift.

The Civic Type R is more tuned for track than the M3. The M3 is a all purpose car - the Type R is designed to set lap times. Let's see the comparison when they have a more hardcore M3 GTS.
