Default I have a very technical question!

Very mature question coming...

I have a V5 type R pushing 335bhp/330ftlb.
How do you guys think it would hold up against an E46 M3?

Pretty good to 60 and then see you laters in favour of the M3 I reckon.

Use to slaughter E46 M3's with my last Spec C (316bhp), that had no problems passing them but it depends on power delivery and gearing mainly.

Would the Spec C gearing be as short as the Type R Tony?

Yes its quite similar, with the exception of the 6th gear giving it a higher top end
