Sweet vids......Thanks.


I wouldn't say I "walked" it, but I pulled away on a E36 pretty good from 35 to about 105. The driver pulled up afterwards confused and asking if it was stock, which it was. His only comment was .....You pulled on me hard. It was a fun race none the less. His M was very nice...love the cars and nearly purchased one in 99 but the maintenance stories bothered me.


Nice ride....Thanks again.

I'm sure you all have seen the Best motoring where they have the 350z, M3, S2000 and boxster race. They have a Skyline as a camera car which is used basically to just block everyone from passing the Z. But it really surprised me how little of a difference there was between the Z , the S2000 and the M3 on the straights. The S2000 was blatantly catching eveyrone in the corners too which was neat. What was sad was how far back the poor boxster ended up.

The best quote from the Boxster driver: "The interior is very nice...ergonomic. I bet you could pick a lot of chicks with this car."

Actually a stock Z should be in the 240rwhp range depending on a number of factors.

Hondas??

Don't take my word for it.

BS-my dad has a CLK55 and his car would KILL a E46 from a stop IF MB made it in a 6spd manual (lighter, much much more torque and more HP), TRUTH of the matter is, it DOESN'T b/c of the TRANNY (BUT It does KILL them from a roll and on the freeway, but from a stop the 46 wins to 60mph)
