    E30 S50 vs. E46 M3

    VIDEOS of the RACE ARE COMING SOON!

    So last night was the rematch after i finally got my coding plug . Like i had mentioned in the other thread i was only shifting at 5500 rpms before i got my rpms to read right. So we went out to our spot 4 deep including: 2 E46 M3's one was SMG, an E36 M3 , and a highly modded 328i.
    When we go out there we always do a run through for cops and it was clear that the races were on . So first race my buddies e36 m vs e46 328 many mods . They line up and to no surprise the M3 wins by a car length by the top of 4th.
    Then it was time for the real race me vs the 04' E46 M3 wasnt really scared because i favored well against him last time just couldnt read the rpms right because i hadnt installed the coding plug for the 6 cylinder engine. Anyway we always do second gear rolls because i cant get traction with stock rims and tires not to mention if i did things would break faster in the driveline. So, we are setting up i am at 4k at 40 in 2nd and so is he (only because i have a 2.93 diff) and he honks out 3 times and we are off, bastard got the jump on me but then the 0wnage take place...i start retaking back that jump and start inching away all the way up to 120 i am just puting inches on him maybe got 3-4 feet of actual gaining time , all that matters is he got the jump and my nose was out front. Second run we are dead even on the launch and dead even through second , again shift third and the inching away begins beat him again my a 2 feet or so.

    That's scary, I'm going to be afraid of my E30 when it's done. My friend took me for a "I think I just shit myself" ride last week in his more refined E46 M3. I can't imagine going that fast in the more raw E30.

        My experiences too put the cars pretty even. It all goes down to driver. Whomever fuckes up a shift loses.
        Im now E30less.

          Yeah well the road we raced on has no through traffic it is by the city dump/incinerator and it 5 lanes wide,including a median lane with no concrete in the center so it practically looks like an airport runway ..........so technically we will call it 5 cars autocrossing in a straight line

            Well i still have that 2.93 diff in there . I hope a 3.15 or 3.25 will make a noticeable difference.

              The track events I've gone to don't allow us to setup drag races against each other and we're not allowed to "race" on the track. When it comes down to it, we all want to know how fast our cars are compared to each others and track events don't give us an opportunity to do so. The safest way to do it is to find a stop-light that opens up to a 60+mph zone.

                  Yeah I know what's that's like. I just get my hackles up whenever I see street racing stories.

                  This place does sound pretty safe, though doing 120 on a city street doesn't sound like too much of a good idea to me.

                          That's fucking insane.

                          E46 M3 - 333 hp

                          E30 S50 - 222 hp

                          111 more hp, and you beat him by almost a yard!

                          Amazing the difference that weight makes. Wow.

                            333hp is at the crank on the E46

                            222hp is at the wheels on E30 S50

                              well he said 222whp,
                              & the e46 m3 has around 275whp (?)

                              that's almost a 60hp advantage for the m3

                              nice kill !
