A reason some of us won't settle for 343 HP... (archive)

Some members of this forum have expressed dissatisfaction with those others (such as myself) that claim that 343 HP won't quite cut it -- going from 240 HP up to well over 300 I can understand if some of you feel that this is more than adequate and that those that complain are people that are never satisfied, but please remember that we Europeans actually go from 321 HP to 343 HP (if that is what will actually come out -- see recent posts about a possible delay), and since the new car will weigh a little bit more (and the competition has gotten stiffer), the increase in power is not at all as significant as we had come to expect.

Of course, power output is no self-objective in itself, it's the actual performance that counts -- and as an "acceleration nut" who doesn't care how much faster than 250 km/h a car can go (respect for high speeds grow with age, at lest for one who's had his guardian angels working overtime...), I'd really like the new M3 to break the 5 second barrier for 0-100 km/h. When it does, I promise I for one will be satisfied...
