your experiences...
Hello everybody,
I only have my C43 since July. I'm driving in traffic most of the time and the car is now stored for winter (snif...). I did'nt had a lot of occasion to mesure my car with others so I'm asking you to share your experiences with me.
I would like to know who have raced these cars and what was the results:
-e46 M3
-330i BMW
-540i BMW
-Audi S4 (old model)
-350Z
-G35 Infinity
-Rustangs...
Just want to dream a bit in the cold season !! :-)

A C43 wouldn't be able to keep up with a E46 M3?
I guess I'll hold on to my C320 for awhile longer then. I was looking to trade it from a C43....

Thanks for the Info Steve. I had 2 turbo Volvos and with the mods you have, I think that you wagon is probably as fats as your C36!?
For CHATMANR:
I tried a C320 a few weeks ago an ahopter is totally right, dont even think about following a C43 with a C320... You should consider your trade if you want something faster

merclover, why wouldn't a E46 M3 at >330 hp be faster? Keeping in mind the E36 M3 at 240hp ran the same 0-60 as the C43. You should also note the C32 is a "six banger" and is also faster than the C43.
