the 370 driver held his ground VERY well considering that hes still getting used to the car. hope that wasnt a oil temp prob he pulled over for

Limp Mode is a Possibility at the end, and it did very well...until it pulled over

Pharmacist · 11-11-2009, 07:11 AM

Isn't the 370 just as fast as the e46 m3?

AS370Z · 11-11-2009, 07:54 AM

My previous car was an 04 M3 with an intake/exhaust and to be honest I the Z feels quicker stock.

I know a few guys with the current gen M3. I will have a comparo soon.

Is it me or did the M3 driver have no clue about hitting the apex and the Z driver used his brakes in the oddest places?

And what about the guys driving the Lotus'...............wtf? Get a Pinto!

sorry but the z wont stand a chance. you'll be blown away by the e92 m3. it's so much faster and more superior to the e46. a friend of mine has one. 414 hp really make it go! the e92 is in the league of the corvette, 911 carrera, viper, vanquish, etc...

GingaBreadMan · 11-11-2009, 09:26 AM

The E46 is garbage. My friend has one and it is very unimpressive. It only has power between 6K rpm and redline. Took him for a ride in the Z and he really liked the torque and power. He said the Z would wipe the floor with the M. He's looking to trade up to a E63 Mercedes. The E92 has us by 80hp but I'm still curious of it's capabilities.

NYBladeZ · 11-11-2009, 09:31 AM

the e92 is in leagues with the viper, vanquish, and vette? Yeah I don't think so, I've had the opportunity to drive an e92 with bmw's new paddle shift a few times. It is fast but "soft" compared to M's of old. It is much heavier than previous years as well. Undoubtly a great car, but does not belong in the same class of cars mentioned above. Furthermore I had the opportunity to run side by side with one in my stock Z from high 2nd through 4th gear...not as impressive as I expected.

Same experience here!!

around Top Gear's Track the e92 M3 beats the 370Z by a little over 2 seconds (2.2)

Why not? 0-60 in 4.2 s, 1/4 mile in 12.6 s, 0.98g skidpad, 71.4 mph slalom. Would a viper, 911, or vanquish be able to best those numbers?

How do you know that M3 you ran with was at full throttle? They have 80 hp more, and are faster in both 0-60 and 1.4 mile by a margin.
