uh ohhh, more contraversy.. C32 Vs M3 race in Miami

Well, after I left the 4th of July blast at the grove last night around 10ish, I met up with a buddy of mine who has a friend with a 2003 E46 M3 SMGII that has been dying to run me. Both my C32 and the M3 SMGII are bone stock. Tonights temperature is around 84degrees f. When he shows up in the M3, theres 4 people in that car. So to make it a little more fair for my buddy, I decide to put two people from the M3 in my C32. So now heres the scenerio... 2 headz in the M3 and 3 headz in the C32. So we move on now and find a nice little 1/2 mile spot away from everything to run it.

Now for the racing....

Race #1: Out the hole
C32 gets holeshot and walks the M3 by like 5 or 6 cars by 100mph before i shut down.

Race #2: Out the hole again
C32 gets holeshot again and same results as race #1.

Race #3: Out the hole again
M3 gets a much better launch this time but still cant compare to the mad hooking power of the C32, though this time i spun the tires up a little bit more, I managed to pull 3 cars on the M3 to 100mph before i hit the hazards.

Now we take it to the empty Palmetto for some roll ricing...

Roll rice #1..
From 25mph we take off and I immediately pulled 3 cars, by 100 i have 4 cars and still pulling.

Roll rice #2...
from 30mph...same results as roll rice #1

Roll rice #3...
from 25mph...this time i have the M3 the hit (to you unfamiliar with the lingo, "the hit" means that I gave him a head start and I floor it when i see him floor it)... The M3 gets about a 1/2 car jump on me before I floor it, this was a closer race, but by 80mph I was side by side with the M3, by 100mph he was a 3ft behind my rear bumper, by 120mph he was 1 1/2 cars behind me.

All this was documented on my POS Pocket DV Digital Camcorder. Videos will be posted soon.

C32 powahh > M3

Glad to hear it. It gives credibility to the C32-M3 drags Mercedes ran at C-Spot. All the BMW people were saying that they must have pulled a plug on the M3.

Ok, i am here...thanks for remembering me. Boy, i feel the love for sure! I am surprise that i am not banned yet.

If this is a short race, then why pack people in?? In addition, you had a video cam...so why pack people in?? I will give you this...if both cars have a lot of people, then C32 will have more of an advantage due to it's higher torque. Why not a one person vs. one person race in their respective cars? I don't get the point of the above race.

Ok, so i should really be impress by this scientific test??!! Strange how NONE of the magazines comparo tests can duplicate the claims made by you guys! Very interesting indeed. Things that make you go, "Hmmm." I guess you guys drive better than the magazine drivers.

Note: i have never claimed that an M3 can "walk" away from a C32...they are about as equal as you can get.

Just a reminder:

Would you like the C&D comparo too?? I can link it also.

Put me (an experienced C32 driver) in a str8 line race with a magazine driver with the identical car and lets watch him leave all his HP in wheelspin while i grip and go!! Sorry, Im not Autocrosser, but I can outlaunch an AWD Evolution with my RWD C32.

not a reminder but something new... Like i said, i might be going to Texas ina couple months... stop running your mouth and run your ultra powerful M3 against my wittle C32... $200, out the hole!!!

If your M3 aint got the torqe, if it aint got the power, if you gotta make excuses.. i dunno, sounds like a personal problem to me!!!

Damn, if that aint a callout, i don't know what is. And still no answer from Thai. Not looking too good on his part. Afterall, it should be payday for the M3, right??? Thai, where in Texas are you living? And, BenzoAMGpower where is it that you may be stopping through? Good race and launch on that vid BTW.
