Who lost to this M3?

Kinda hard to believe a C32 w/ Renntech Pulley+Chip would lose to a M3 w/ only AA exhaust.
Whoever it is, you should ask for a re-match at the track !!!

We'll see on wednesday, his track results should say more.
I doubt he only has exhaust.

That must have been impossible, i've beaten 3 e46 m3's, STOCK!. they didnt even keep up with me. Off the line i beat them and they were pretty good shifters. The M3 shouldn't be compared to the c32, The c32 has more HP, more Torquq the m3 can just handle better. SO WHAT?

The point is that we get outperformed at the track.

track = roadcourse, track != drag strip

No longer car shopping...
Read it closer...He has more mods...

If you guys read the thread again, you can see that someone asks him if XYZ was his best time. He replies that "That was with the AA muffler (practically stock). Im going on wednesday to see how fast it runs" (i.e. "Now, with the new mods"). Wonder what he's got in it now?

side note...maybe u've already seen this...but the clip is funny...

eclipse gsx vs m3 e46

and the

aftermath



we're debating whether the m3 was actually racing...i don't think he was, think he was arguing with his chic, telling her "all u had to do was shut up"..... funny as it is...those eclipses can be sickeningly (is that even a word?) fast.

Heh, thats funny considering I beat a stock c32 in my smg m3. PC527 was there, and I raced him as well. A stock c32 is not faster than an m3, its the reverse actually.

This kinda debate will never end…I’ve heard lots of stories from both sides…C32 beats M3, M3 beats C32…. Why don’t we just acknowledge each other advantages and enjoy the car that you guys bought eh?

I doubt a stock C32 will lose to a stock M3 too, considering the kilowatts and torque advantage of the Benz. But then again, thats on paper and I have neither sat in nor driven both cars...

should be interesting to see if other folks have raced their c32 against M3...

Yeah, yeah



We've heard that already, from both sides. Why cant people just accept what they have, instead of going to a website and talking smack. They both cost the same, if you bought one, you could afford to have bought the other instead, the performance is practically identical. Let it go

Performance wise I think they are close. But at the end of the day it all comes down to the drivers.

Please stop posting facts. This is the Internet, and that kind of behavior just won't be tolerated.
