which scoob, which m3? I reckon the M3 will beat the impreza sport but I could be wrong.

Make sure the times you get are from the same source so you get a relative difference. comparing one mag or drag strip time to another is meaningless.

bhp/tonne - evo mag.

'98-'00 uk turbo 177bhp per tonne
E35 M3 - 215 bhp per tonne.

so the m3 will probably be faster.

With the diffrence in price between the two, its not surprising.


How about a Noble m12 versus M3

How about a Audi RS6 Plus with 477 BHP in todays Auto Express

These are price and equipment levels in the same boat and the M3 would lose every time.

A new UK turbo can be bought for Roughly 17 - 19K depending on supplier - what does it cost for an M3 ?

you seem to be missing the point that there is more to a car than speed.

Otherwise i got well ripped off buying a limo

I'm here and I'm ready - if Skittles is up for it we can go to war

Trouble is I retired from the dissing the magical myth surrounding M3 partly due to popular demand and partly because it was taking up to much of my time as there has been the odd thread about this in the past

In the meantime why not:

USE THE SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK. What's faster.

1. Tesco trolley.

2. Asda trolley.

3. M&S trolley.

Once again Asda Trollies and Marks and Spencer Trollies are in a diffrent leauge from each other, and the M&S one would kill it in the twisty aisles.


Still a pound for petrol, and you get it back at the end of your journey.

I's imagine an E36 M3 would murder a UK turbo - it has over 100bhp more and no 4wd transmission loses.

Interesting thread though...

Think the resale market on M&S trollies has died, so easy to get hold of.


Have seen a nice looking one on some wast ground next to multi storey block, if anyone wants to host the pics.

It can seat two chav children in two waterproof plastic seats, but often found broken down at side of the road (well there seems to be a lot of women pushing them rather than driving them)

I'd quite like a waitrose trolly, but I can't afford one. I suppose you pay for quality

Waitrose really is snob value IMHO.

Plus "Heat Soak problems"

and being caught in the wrong gear - i.e. burberry cap and 10 finger rings

I reckon Morrison trolleys are slower as they have the coin box on them.
