Very similar over 1/4 mile between a Modded STi and a M3.

What was it like after 100 ?

We only played up to about 120mph and they were identical.......... THIS WAS ON PRIVATE LAND.

The CSL pulls away though.

Yeah on paper a Modded Sti (decat & remap) is very similar to 100

But on paper the M3 seems to be quicker past 100, proberly due to the Scoob being like a brick aerodynamically and being 4wd losing more at higher speeds. But never thought there was going to be much difference to 120ish, both completely different power deliveries and that fools alot of people has the M3 feels much slower to be in.

Went in a new M3 convertible a couple of months ago, and i do have to say that they are bloody quick, it didnt feel as quick from a standing start but once moving there awsome, can only imagine what the CSL would be like.

Suprised to see the CSL is notably quicker, i cant tell the difference between my CSL and M5.

Did you use L/C with the M3?
