I can tell you how a CLK430 with Kleemann supercharger would do against a new or an older M3!

I bet the torque curve on the e36 M3 would cause that car to lose against the CLK430, 0-60, but win the 1/4 mile. That is stock on stock, but e36 modded, vs. stock CLK430, uh oh!

I currently own 98 E36 M3 coupe (Stock) and E430 4 matic.
I think E430 is a bit heavier than CLK 430 however, I feel E36 M3 is whole lot faster than E430. I haven't raced with CLKs against my M3 but I think if you know how to shift with M3 then, M3 will win.
