Should be a good race (archive)

... but I'd give the nod to the E46 car if it's really making the horsepower you claim. I have a supercharged E36 M3 as well as an M5. My M3 is an automatic convertible making 276 wheel HP and weighing in at 3,500lbs; the M5 makes 332 RWHP and weighing in at 3,980lbs. At the dragstrip, the M3 does the 1/4 in 13.7 @ 104, while the M5 gets 13.5 @ 106. Your car should be about 300 lbs lighter than my M3 and (I assume it's a manual) should make about 330 RWHP, so I'd expect low 13s @ 108-109.
If you're ever up in Northern CA, I'll be happy to give you a race. Just don't wait too long -- you may find yourself lined up with a 550HP supercharged M5 :)
