stock M3 e46 keeping up with my 400rwhp z32.....?

[DTRUONG9]

driving home earlier today and an e46 m3 pulled next to me and we raced several times. The owner of the m3 said it was stock, and he was side by side with me the whole time

My z32 dynoed at 400 rwhp at 17 psi on jwt550 bb turbos, I did have my little girlfriend riding shotgun

I felt like i should of walked on him, but i didnt.

want to get ya'lls opinion. YES street racing is stupid, but i could not help myself to see what she can do (and i mean the car)

360 hp at 3100lbs, and who knows what kind of gearing. Isn't really surprising.

Just remember, your car is prettier and a lot less expensive, even after the upgrades.

Something isn't right here. I've participated in some extensive rubber/pavement abuse in my buddy's E46 as driver and passenger. Its a great handling car but it doesn't have the kind of power stock to pull on even a lightly modded Z32. Either your Z isn't at 100% or he lied.

i agree, he's got something under there that he wasn't sharing with the rest of the class

Either your doing it wrong or your gf is Rosie O'Donnell.

He claims it was stock, but sounded stock no blower sounds, had the stock exhaust. I weight 200lb and my gf weighs 130. the guy in the m3 is about the same as me. Making we wonder if something is wrong with the car. i did 2nd and 3rd pulls from 40mph and 50mph (i get will spin in second) we were neck and neck until about 110 when i started to pull but he said he "let off". at least it wasnt a honda o_0.

[NolimitZ32]

Yeah man, way not stock, e46 0-80 is fun, 80-125 is nothing to write home about so yeah either he's a liar, your car isnt at 100% or perhaps you need a driver mod

[mrmoose]

just throwing it up but when i had the sport 500s, non bb i made more than that on 17psi... maybe need a better tune? idk just thought id share

[NissanFairladyZ32]

Yeah, something sounds wrong.

Yeah, I kinda jumped the gun on this as I was reading the article about the car, the 360 was only for CSL spec. It was also lighter than the stock M3 E46. I saw after I wrote it that was the stock HP.

[StockTurbosFTW]

He's a liar...period...

[DTRUONG9]

really late response but found several boost leaks and my recir valves were sticking due to oil build up so yeah that car was not at 100% but more like 60%.

At least you found it now, hopefully you have it all fixed and wax him next time.
