I have to admit that m3 is a quick car. But I have to agree that C32 is quicker @ high speeds. If people wants to really compare these two vehicles,
take them to the 1/4mile stretch and clock them. I hope that C32 is repairable and that the driver is ok. Damn ignorant m3 fools.
I wish somebody could bring all of them on to dragway and I will kill all of them on the runs until my car explodes. They just can't accept the reality.
Sad people...

well the race and the crash may have been true. the part about m3 beating the c32 may be exaggerated..then again, it maybe not a c32.

Not many people will have difficulty living with the fact that someone "may" have been injured. If you'll read his post, he's simply assuming that the driver was fine and going on with his business.

Who cares what car is faster? What is sad is everyone keeps talking about how it's impossible the M3 could beat it at high speeds when the real focus should be on wishing the C32 AMG driver gets better (if the race & accident did happen).

there was NO C32...

a C32 at high speed (from 65mph on) would've dusted a M3.

If he could easily drive away from it, it was no C32 since the C32 is faster than the M3. If the M3 is not a CSL then.
But noone is gonna DUST the other anyway.

3-4 car length from my experience, but of course that was a SMG running on 19s.

M3 has the optional 19" wheels which the rims are forged. The car I ran had the Hamann 19" which are heavier, but it wouldn't made a lot of difference because I'm also running heavy replica 18's. So our standing ground is pretty even.

driving my car everyday, I don't think mine is fast, but I was surprised I could pull on the M3 from 65-130mph when I shutdown and he blow pass me like some rice.
