An E46 M3 comes in at 1549KG and had 343bhp and 269 lb-ft torque.
Ditchmyster, there is not a chance your 270bhp blob was all over an E46 M3 being driven properly. And you pulled away from him at 155mph ??? Really ??
Your classic at 320bhp is a different story, that car would beat an M3.

It was mapped by richard bulmer when he was at tsl and they told me it was one of the best they had seen, i never stuck it on the rollers and it was a cyprus import.
And it went off the clock regularly

ive had a go with an m3 in my 05 blob sti running 440/400, the look on his face was priceless when he realised he couldnt get me off his boot and a cheaky smile and wave as i pulled away noticeably quicker lol

Have heard some people on here in the past saying that a larger cc engine will be better top end that a smaller turbo'd engine even if the bhp is about the same. Not sure what the physics is behind this though, if it's true.

an m3 can hit 190 on its clock ive seen it twice you say it may not be a true 190 but it will be as true as a scoobs clocks and theres not many scoobs that will be up there doing the untrue 190 with it

Video shows limiter comes in at an indicated 169mph, so 190mph clock speed would equal about 174mph

Good thread guys, not much ***** waving.
De-limited e46 will do 174 mph actual.
I had a 340/330 blob STi (only a UK
) then went to an e46. Nothing in it I'd say - STi starts better, M3 will claw it back.
Have to laugh at some of the comments on here, though good to see the more informed SN regulars putting them right
Respect to both I say

is this not a thread about scooby vs m3? or have i missed something? i was saying that i have been in 2 different m3s both hit 190 on the clock or very close to so deduct upto 10% for actual speed,my scoob will go off the clock saying around 170 but ive no doubt im actually doing less than 160,if i had more time and could be botherd i would record it for you to see

Regardless of what the thread is about (don't you know threads round here never stay on track ) my comment was aimed specifically at the incorrct claim that an M3 could crack 190.
I don't care for videos of clocks which are telling me something i already know. I could tweak the clock in my Fab so i could video it doing 200mph - means nothing.

I've raced numerous amounts of M3's with all the scoobs I've had in the past. A 330hp classic will not blow a M3 away, it will just about keep up side by side until the M3 shows the top end power off. 0-100 wise a scoob would only take the lead if you launch the thing hard!
Recently i raped a M3 in my newage doing a 30-130 rolling start & also a LP550-2. It was doing well until a boost pipe came off
