YouTube - E46 M3 vs 370z - Snetterton

the 370 driver held his ground VERY well considering that hes still getting used to the car. hope that wasnt a oil temp prob he pulled over for

Limp Mode is a Possibility at the end, and it did very well...until it pulled over

Isn't the 370 just as fast as the e46 m3?

My previous car was an 04 M3 with an intake/exhaust and to be honest I the Z feels quicker stock. :tup:

I know a few guys with the current gen M3. I will have a comparo soon.

Is it me or did the M3 driver have no clue about hitting the apex and the Z driver used his brakes in the oddest places? :icon14:

And what about the guys driving the Lotus'...............wtf? Get a Pinto! :icon17:

sorry but the z wont stand a chance. you'll be blown away by the e92 m3. it's so much faster and more superior to the e46. a friend of mine has one. 414 hp really make it go! the e92 is in the league of the corvette, 911 carrera, viper, vanquish, etc...

The E46 is garbage. My friend has one and it is very unimpressive. It only has power between 6K rpm and redline. Took him for a ride in the Z and he really liked the torque and power. He said the Z would wipe the floor with the M. He's looking to trade up to a E63 Mercedes. The E92 has us by 80hp but I'm still curious of it's capabilities.

the e92 is in leagues with the viper, vanquish, and vette? Yeah I don't think so, I've had the opportunity to drive an e92 with bmw's new paddle shift a few times. It is fast but "soft" compared to M's of old. It is much heavier than previous years as well. Undoubtly a great car, but does not belong in the same class of cars mentioned above. Furthermore I had the opportunity to run side by side with one in my stock Z from high 2nd through 4th gear...not as impressive as I expected.

If it's one with a DCT you in for trouble.

Same experience here!!

around Top Gear's Track the e92 M3 beats the 370Z by a little over 2 seconds (2.2)

of course that is with a seasoned driver...not everyone drives like the Stig

Why not? 0-60 in 4.2 s, 1/4 mile in 12.6 s, 0.98g skidpad, 71.4 mph slalom. Would a viper, 911, or vanquish be able to best those numbers?

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.
