Why couldn't my Z beat an M3
Trying to date a married woman just ISN'T worth it on SOO many levels:
Several Years ago, I chose to get intimately involved with a married girl who seemed to be bored with the lack of mental stimulation from her husband.
Seemingly, in her opinion, I was able to offer the right mix of both mental and physical stimulation.
Long story short, her dumbass actually told her husband that "I have a guy friend at work...and he's very nice" ...and also, told him my name".
WTF?
Soo...As any man would do, he starts to do some digging to find out EXACTLY WHO I am. My old job actually gave him my address after he pretended to be someone else
So..HE proceeds to drive an hour plus to my parent's house, where I was living at the time, in his big old Ford F-150 on at least 2 occasions, drive REAL slow and shines a big *** flashlight thru my parent's kitchen and bedroom windows.
I wasn't home on either occassion...BUT my parents were naturally frightened and extremely pissed at me, once I told them who this dude was.
Plus, I have the adultery blackmark on my record come Judgement Day...NOT something I'm proud of or looking forward to talking with God about

I have both cars: E46 M3 SMG and 6sp 350Z with Nismo Package:
These are 2 very different cars: Let me put it this way,
M3 is the one I'd take to a drag or track for better chance at winning, SMG is a big Plus, and amazing acceleration and control.
350Z would be is more fun to drive but requires more from the driver. Has gobs of torque, design wise it's more flashy and has more potential.
350Z is my wife's car but she MAKES me drive when we're together....Love Driving It!

Well i saw this video of 350z, g35, m3 and i think s2000 racing. the 350z and s2000 were at it with each other while the g35 was slightly behind. It wasnt a straight track though. But the narrator said if it was a straight track, the m3 would rape the 350z

I test drove my friend's M3. My butt dyno tells me the M3 hauls from 2k all the way to redline. The response is interesting. I haven't even opened it up, and it felt pretty fast already. Our shifter is shorter though :-)
to clear up the BMI video (it's not solid proof),
they're racing at Tsukuba which has short straights and more turns. Tsuchiya in the M3 said it had power and great brakes, but it was heavy exiting the turns, so the Z was able to accelerate out of turns faster. Gan-san in the S2000 slipped up and Tsuchiya passed him, but in the turns the S2000 was right on the bumper of the M3 through the turns, and I mean unbelievably close. That track favors light weight sport cars like the S2000.
And because they're all racers doesn't mean they are consistent . Gan-san drives the most aggressively, his son Takuya doesn't, Tsuchiya has off-days, etc. Everyone likes to say the RX-8 sucks because of the Rotary Reborn review where it gets left behind by everybody. However, in another video the Mazdaspeed RX-8 (still doesn't have a turbo) leaves an S2000 behind, on the turns and straights, at Tsukuba.

I don't get how 30HP adv and 200+lbs easily takes a Z? The 13more hp and *similar* weights of an '06 make it a drivers race between Zs. So how does double the 13hp (of an M3) and 200+lbs "easily" walk a Z?
Just curious how the HP/weight plays a role here.

The m3 is a "cute" car to have your wifey driving around..id never sport it myself though. I would rather be in a modded z any day of the week. With all the F/I kits coming out for the Z, i dont even see why m3's are a concern. They really arent in the same class. Lets just leave the supercharged m3's alone, sure they are quick. They are very quick cars, they'll just never be fast though. Z are already making 700-800whp, m3 what? For those already turboed, you know where the m3 stands. Almost to the point where its not worth our gas..haha..

The 2003 350Z beat the 2003 BMW M3 without a problem. M3 not that impressive. Dunno if they've changed it significantly since 2003. There's also a Skyline GTR in the mix (cam car) -- it blows everything away
