That does not mean your car is not fast, it just means the E46 is faster. It also cost almost twice as much.
im sorry for the attitude hahaha

I've raced an E36 M3 when i was stock, and I beat it, baaaad. So no, he's not faster.
Hit CTRL+P and give him a copy of this message so he can go cry in the corner now.

Notice he is talking 0-60. Thats lame. 1/4 or nothing. All you have to do is look at the MPH to get a really good idea of which car is faster. Z is faster but not by much. Those Germans know how to make the best of the HP they have.

for the guy that made the comment about the 06 auto revup pullin on him at 115 cause the revup has more topend. Well for one the 06 if its auto it doesnt have the revup it has the 287hp 2003-2005 motor not the 300hp revup and i raced a 06 manual vs my 03 manual on 4 runs and he never pulled on me i beat him by a half a car to a car everytime
2006 AUTO are NON REVUP
2006 Manual ARe REVUP
IM 100% sure on this

Get yourself the DragSim from http://www.proracingsim.com/ , get data for both cars, set the same conditions and run the simulation and you're done 
My money would be on the Z when it comes to the USDM E36 M3, but when it comes to the Euro-spec M3 it might be not so easy to smoke it.
Those proracingsim tools are really precise if you have all the data you need

Infamous 350 If Your Going To Try To Qoute Me Qoute Me Right I Said I Have A 03 Auto I Raced A 06 Rev-up 6 Speed Which I Had A Video Posted On This Site But It Has Since Been Removed I Believe. I Beat Him To 115 By About A 1 1/2 Cars Before He Started Pulling Up Top And If You Have Seen Any Other Comparison Videos With A 03 And 06 Rev-up On Here They Had The Same Outcome Please Learn Your **** Thanks. My Friend Has A 1995 M3 Z=3 Wins Bmw M3=0 The Race Isn't That Close Go Run One Which You Probably Havent Im Talking From Experience Not Out My ***.

So for peace of mind i was wondering what yall thought, would a 240 BHP with 236 torque with a curb weight of 3175 beat a stock 2006 350Z?

Why can't some of you just admit it is a drivers race stock vs stock. For every one of you who say they have beaten a E36 M3, you can go over to bimmer forums and many say they have beaten the Z.
Again, I love the Z and I own a E36 M3. A Z would roast mine, it is a Vert with the Auto, great daily driver.
this thread now, it has gone beyond stupid
