I think its definitely driver.
A stock manual tranny (MT) E36 M3 is about equal with a stock MT 350Z. When I had my stock turbo with full exhaust, I could pull my friend's 350Z Track pretty hard from a roll, especially in first through third. At triple digits, I could only pull a car on him.
The other day, I ran an E46 with the new turbo (vf30). I pulled a couple cars on it from 90 to near the top of my 4th, but that car is definitely stout. It is A LOT faster than my friend's 350Z Track.
Something is odd with your experiences. A kill is a kill, but don't think you could pull any well driven E46 MT, because you'll get surprised. What does your car run in the 1/4?

Seems as if you're taking argumentative advice from the Iraqi Information Minister.
If you're in Houston, I'll be your Huckleberry. Westheimer by Racing Solutions Inc, in front of a whole slew of car enthusiasts. Your 350Z vs my ///M Coupe. Besides one full day of performance school last Saturday, my only other experiences have been illegal road racing.
Whatcha say, I'm throwing down the gauntlet.
Lemme know and I can set this all up.

Hey TX, I dont have an e46 M3 but I'm willing to bet that I can damn sure take you in my e36. I live in the midcities area and can meet up anytime for a good run. Let me know.

Any takers can let me know here. Again, I am not "hunting down M3's" nor saying I will win against every one as I stated earlier. 
.
And Quest330is, as long as you are STOCK, not a prob. We'll try and coordinate our schedules for a time and place.

You have to show me, with me behind the wheel lined up with an M3, we run, and he beats me, to prove me wrong.
And oh yes. That is a welcome invitation for ANY stock M3 owner in the area to show me differently.....

Perfect!
I live in the M Streets (near downtown Dallas) and work in Plano. I drive a Silver 2001 E46 M3 6 speed and would love a "friendly run" with you. I work near Coit and Plano Parkway.
I am going on vacation tomorrow but will be back next Sunday and if you are still game we should set something up.
We can go from a dig or roll and we can get it on tape.

Sounds good. Maybe you'll put the smack down and prove the other 2 encounters I had were a fluke... Holler at me next week. And I appreciate the "tactfull" reponse to my offer without coming on and "flaming, bashing, or otherwise talkin sh**" like I read so often in these scenarios. TX

lets keep this to a E46 and Z, we already know how the E36 compares. SO too ALL E36 owners, go back to your BMW boards, unless you have something nice to say
.yes, I am VERY familiar with teh E36, my father use to have one and I drove it all the time (Dinan chip,exhaust,intake,headwork, etc....) it was a very fun car, so don't tell me that I don't respect the 36, this issue just has NOTHING to do with it.

Just remember when you quote me on the bimmer threads, quote EVERYTHING I say, and not just exerpts. By that I mean a more "represenative" quote of me would be: "Hmmm? There's a guy over on the Z Boards who has somehow managed to beat a coupe of M3 drivers in a street race. And he welcomes a friendly challenge."

Yep. I work in Sales at Alcatel. (The new building near the Bush tollway off Independence)
Anyway, I don't get to worked up over which car is faster but I thought when it is over, you could give me a ride and vice versa. I haven't had the pleasure of riding in one of the new Zs and the Nissan Dealers are a bunch of ******. I think they look great

Sounds like a plan! And for the record...I think the E46 is a GORGEOUS ride inside and out!
Especially my boy's here: (and NO, I haven't ran him. He'd eat my lunch! It is VERY modded, with a supercharger in the works)

Hey rod, no need to be rude, I was just asking for a simple friendly run. I didnt come on here and flame or start any sort of war, but I will go back to my BMW board where I actually get the same respect that I give.

I didn't see anything wrong with your post dude. And RodH is actually pretty on the Level and unbiased as I have seen. So it's all good. By the way, NICE setup there with the "angel eyes and all". So since you have admitted you're NOT stock, what's your mods?
