Default Here's some real world videos (thx Zerin)...

<a href="http://videos.dubspeedracing.com/zerin/jan_20_02/typical_e46_owner.mpg">Here's </a>what happens when you ask an M3 owner to run 'em.


<a href="http://videos.imolas4.com/zerin/jan_11_02/c32_s4_s2k_rollin.mpg">Here's </a>what happens when a K04 (untuned) S4 runs a C32 w/ a SC S2K filming. Note, the C32 gets the jump but the S4 adn S2K can't gain any ground.

From a launch, w/ a strong clutch, Zerin's car should get the hole shot and not give it up.

In addition, have you seen the C32 interior? Looks like ***. The M3 is a handling marvel compared to the other 2.

Default I think that vid doesn't show a true race between the C32 and Zerin...

I think he got the jump because, well because he jumped first, then the others reeled him in. Hopefully Zerin will set us straight, as I am just guessing from the vid as well as a few comments Zerin made (that the C32 doesn't have the top end, etc)

Default I am faster than E46s....................

the thing is, it is pretty close in the 0-60 mark but then 3rd gear it is all over, 4th just locks the door that 3rd gear shut. They are still quick though, if you bog just a hair you'll never catch up. Of course, saving $15K on price is justification enough to me

MODS:
intake
DPs
Borla
X Chip

Default C32 walked away from me from highway roll-on at 65.....

I'm a bone stock '00. He sounded like he had an intake unless that is just the normal sound of that car on a roll-on

It is not a V8, its a 6 cylinder with a supercharger.
