How do you know that M3 you ran with was at full throttle? They have 80 hp more, and are faster in both 0-60 and 1.4 mile by a margin.

Since you wanna mag race here you go:

Clearly, the E92 M3 isn't in the same league as the Viper or 911.

your own list says the m3 is within a 3-4 sec of the 911 (which is nothing for a very long racetrack like nordschleife), and is actually faster than the srt 10 viper

Since you're comparing a top of the line 3 series, why not compare it to top of the lines like the 911 GT2 or ACR Viper? Don't you want to compare apples to apples here??

Magazine racing, and e90 comparisons, are not what this threads about.
Keep it on Topic Guys!

No, the gt2 and acr are expensive supercars tuned exclusively for race track. The e92 is a sports car, so it can be compared to sports cars in its performance and price range like the carrera, corvette, viper. bmw does not make supercars, so there is nothing to compare to cars like the acr and gt2.

e46 is still one of my favs

RCZ · 11-11-2009, 06:00 PM

Sorry, this thread is LOL so far.

It's beyond help, can we say soon to be Train Wreck!
Did you guys not see the name of the Thread?

GingaBreadMan · 11-12-2009, 12:35 AM

I guess everyone knows the E46 can't compete with the 370 so we're trying to find another victim.

I think some people should just not say anything cause they sound like fools.

To whoever that said e92 was built to hang with carreras, vipers, vettes, yadda yadda.....let me know what you're smoking - i'd like some too. If im on that, i'll probably think my Z is in the same league as the aforementioned list of cars too and therefore will enlarge my e-penis. M3 is a mass marketed overweight sports touring car. please compare apples to apples.

You don't need to smoke. You need to read. Go check the list of nurburgring laptimes posted by the other guy a few posts above. The m3 time is indeed around the same as the 911, viper, corvette, etc...

ROFLCopter.......that list.....now really tell me what you're smoking. while that list has some accurate data, u have got to tell me that it's loaded with a BUNCH of bs too. how do you know the variables that were involved in ALL those 32489345 runs? drivers? weather? track condition? temp? etc etc....hence all the inaccurate times. fanboism is okay to an extent. but this is ridiculous. e9x m3 is def a nice car. i wish i had one instead of my Z for sure. but ive also driven it a LOT both on the street and track. i've also driven a 997 carrera s a lot. believe me my friend they don't compare.
