so what bhp would i roughly need in a classic to see a e46 m3 off just a question because would be happy to see one off

 

i beat one on 340/325 in my 95jdm impreza

 

was it close m8

 

dont forget ad all down to weight less weight less bhp need

 

yea i know that m8 but just want a rough estimate to see if i would tater my uncles m3 cause he wont stop going on about it so 350 should be plenty

 

i blew one away easily with 150bhp.

Can out pace E46 M3's with 312bhp, but thats a Spec C, you probably need much more in a classic

Tony

 

Remember, bhp isn't everything. its also about driver skill.

 

I blew away an e90 m3 in my spec c with 360 bhp

I reckon a 300 bhp classic would take an e46

 

was the m3 parked up at the time?

 

You'll probably find the 150bhp is all motorbike.

 

look at his user name

150bhp in that thing would rip it open like a fat kid with a box of chocs

 

My brother's 240bhp UK turbo could see off the M3 I had.But as posted before it's all down to the driver.

 

Had a few M3's and couple of porche boxter S's try it on with my old wagon at 330/320 odd, it wasnt really a fair fight tbh ! down a slip road both get toasted by a well setup classic, a 911 turbo on the other hand is another matter , I would be pulling over and letting Johnny by aswell !

 

Yep my 96 WRX running 320 easily seen off an E46 M3.

 

i have to be honest i am a bit optimistic about some of the comments on here, having a 360bhp blob last year i raced an M3 and yes initially off the line the subaru nails it after that the M3 catches up, they are still 340 odd bhp themselves so some bold claims i think on here.

 

A well set up 350bhp classic will munch a M3 no questions asked but I repeat 'WELL SETUP'!

 

650bhp is plenty enough to leave an m3 for dead,and there is enough left to see his mate off in the 911 too.

 

How true

 

 

What more bhp roughly does a blob eye need to be level with classic???

 

Roughly 40bhp to be level pegging when on the straight

 

Depends on the new age

Tony

 

depends on the amount of torque aswell.

 

Quite abit then really mines the 05 blob but I suppose the engine is the same as earlier models?

 

You and your spec-c's Tony

 

Put it this way if you had a classic and newage with 350/350 a piece,the classic would leave the newage[not for dead mind].

 

I easily took an E46 M3 doing 40mph when I was doing 50mph in my 245bhp RB5 the other day
