Can a CLK 430 beat an M3??

Don't know if that's a silly question.... but this M3 pulls up alongside me like he wanted to race... which I don't really do.... and it made me curious to see whose car was faster... or just better. hehehe... i already know which one is prettier

 

IIRC m3s run 14 flat on 1/4 mile, which is about .8 faster than a clk430

 

Assuming you drive the car at its fullest capabilities, the answer is depends. Generally the answer is no. Maybe a mid 1990's M3. The new models will be CLK55 performance levels not CLK430. Sorry. However, other factors may even a race (get a jump and hope he misses gears). Good luck.

 

E46 M3 = no
E36 M3 = prolly

 

Give that man a gold star. He is right as right can be.

 

the clk430 will never touch the new m3s... they pull so much harder, plus its stick

 

Never say never buddy Chappy is right if its stock vs. stock.

 

I knew you guys would give me the most educated answer.
I still think my car's prettier than an M3...

 

I second that!!!
