Jared Runs 350z's in the C43 no problems as does Tom in his E320 ), they're wanna be sports cars. As a matter of fact your C36 is slow as well, I'm curious how it would hold out against my 5000lbs ML55. While my A4 isn't the fastest thing in the world, it takes very little to make it much much faster. If I wanted to I can have my car hitting the 500whp mark.(Oh and in case you don't believe me, http://www.034motorsport.com/feature...red_user_id=59 Bunch of A4's with that setup.) But seeing as I'm 19 and its my first car, ill wait to blow my money on something with more potential such as an S4. So keep on calling me car slow, as far as I'm concerned my car is still work in progress, come few months i'll have a K04 - PC-16 in there that will bring me up to high 13s.

Cool, Oasis, IMO is the greatest band of the '90s. I was doing some reading, and I found estimates that the E320 of the 96+ style (whats the internal number?) does 0-60 in 7.1 or so, and my S320 is rated at 8.8 seconds from the '99 Brochure, but I think that's a tad conservative.

I had a very bad launch the day we ran in the freezing cold and I would not mind going at it again so we can see how close the cars run vrs one another. Z vrs AMG!Jon,you should go against the Audi and the C43(blck) so we can see where you guys cars are at against each other.
Well you get the pic.

Unfortunately a 350z is slow, cars such as RS4's, M3s, P-cars, are real sports cars. A 350Z is slow, heavy (At a Curb Weight of: 3247 lbs its heavier than my 4 door sedan). Not to mention its cheaply made.

Yo Carl I know I got the lead to like 80mph with my 350z but after that you passed me like I was standing still. No need to run you again you made your point! I don't make stupid *** remarks that your car is not much faster. My 0-60 was quicker then yours. Who ****ing cares! You spanked me good. Well you get the pic.
Well you get the pic.We did a very slow roll that day and my car still spun once I dumped the throttle. I don't get great traction in the cold with my kinda TQ.
But regardless of what these guys are saying I feel your car(350Z) runs pretty damn good for an auto that's also modded.. Jon did I ever race you in my Blk BMW E36? I cannot remember.

Now you're really showing your age.

.These cars are performance bench marks, the M3 for the past 3 generations has always been a great car, theres simply no argument with that. Not to mention that the E46 M3 is already 7 years old and yet people still compare new cars to it. While the new RS4 is completely the same, its the whole package. Find me a review in which these two didn't get spectacular ratings.

The 02-04 M3s are pos. The engines are weak, many cases of blown engines. Do your research! I was going to get one until the above. My friend had a 04 M3 sold it because of many issues. Sometimes not starting in the morning eventually the fuel pump went. He only had 36k miles.

No I'm just saying I'd like to try it again because I did not get a good launch. Nothing to prove other than the fact that I don't think your car can run with my car to 60mph much less 80mph from a dead stop.
We did a very slow roll that day and my car still spun once I dumped the throttle. I don't get great traction in the cold with my kinda TQ.

Carl you don't get my point. Of course you and I know your 0-60 is quicker then my Z. You lost traction. Like my car was heatsoaked also spun. The first time I ran his slug A4 from a dig to 100 I beat him like 5cars. As if you got good traction the outcome would be the same.

Don't even go there! I have a house and could get a new Vette ZO6. But I have my priorities. Look at you, Your 1st pos car! Cant even afford a new car. BTW the RS4 is a heavy *** sedan NOT A SPORTS CAR! and handles like **** compare to the 350z. Common sense a sports car handles really well and has 2doors. For the $ the Z is a well balanced sports car. You ignorant kid! You got alot to learn kid!
Just because a car is heavy, doesn't mean jack ****, look at the Nurburgring Lap times for the car.
Nordschleife.
7:58 --- 156.652 km/h -- Audi RS4 4.2 V8 FSI
8:26 --- 146.561 km/h -- Nissan 350Z, 280 PS/1526 kg (sport auto 10/03)
Wow, 28 Seconds. Wait wait, what happened to a Heavy 4 door sedan that handles like ****. I guess the RS4 cheated and took a shortcut.
(Reference: http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?vie...ID=0&tID=10073)
Oh lookie here, its a Best Motoring episode comparing a 350z and M3 as well as a few other sports cars.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRJkvpct_CM
M3 in first?! Wow, I didn't know a 3400lbs coupe can do that, while the 350z in fourth?! Beaten by a Automatic SLK350
Well Balanced Sports car ahaha. Its a joke with a Renault sourced 3.5 V6.
For 30k I rather pick up a used German car than spend it on a car with a terrible cheaply made interior, and mediocre performance. The only appeal the car has is its price, but what you get is a non practical 2+2 car, and a strengthening beam in your trunk.

Semi Decent straight line power all it is.
Try my car at a road course, you'd quickly see how much of a tortoise your car is in the twisties.
