Stock vs Stock, which is faster?

how much RWHP is producing each one stock?

IsuxeL, i think you mentioned beating some M3's, where they stock, were you stock? story?

Thanks All!!

CL rules

 

pretty sure the 350 will smoke an 01 m3.


so go out and try and post up results so we dont get threads like this in the future.

 

if the m3 is in good condition with a good driver... it will be slightly faster by a few milliseconds probably than the IS350 to 60... but in a 1/4 mile is probably a coin toss

the stock 2001 m3 has about about 290 rwhp

 

uhm M3 would lose IMO i'm wondering if IsuxeL was supercharged at the time too i know he's running boost now i believe

 

No, I was not boosted at that time when I ran the M3. Both were stock.

 

im not hatting but i owned a 02 M3 with stock 19's and had about 50k on it and my tire had about 10k which on them so not that much traction left and i ran a 13.5 1/4 bone stock

 

damn isuxel, u got s/c in yur whip! im jealous! i wonder if it works in awd250s.

 

why dont you race and find out?

 

The M3 really isnt a straight line car... Where it really shines is on a track with turns - lots of them. Race one around a track and Im pretty sure you'll be much further behind compared to the margin you'd beat one in a drag race. I think it's a driver's race in a straight line though with an auto you will run pretty consistently, something a manual or even SMG M3 may not do, depending on the driver of course.

 

Ju dunno?!?!

 

M3 will destroy a IS350 top end, no question. After 110-115 its a wrap...Plus its an overall better car designed around speed, where the IS is based around luxury. Sure its fast, but after 80 it feels like it'll levitate off the ground.

 

m3 is not built for speed..I raced my friends m3 before. I believe his is 01 or 02 SMG. I beat him from roll and dig.

I have done over 110 MPH+ Feels very stable to me. Don't know what kind of IS you are driving.

 

apples n oranges my friends EVEN if its an older M, its still an orange...

 

I've never lost to an E46 M3, and I've raced lots of them. As previously stated, the 350 wins in a straight line. Introduce turns, however, and its a much different story.

Not a fact. When I raced I was doing 120+ and he still couldn't keep up.
