03 CL-S 6 spd vs. E36 M3 5 spd MT
Last night, coming home from Q-Zar, I lined up next to one of the guys we went with. He was driving his M3 with two other people in the car, I was driving with my cousin. At the light before getting onto the highway, he was revving at me to egg me on. I think he had some exhaust work done, but I'm not sure, so I'll just say he was stock. It was a two lane highway and we started at around 50 mph. I pulled on him at the top of third (~90 mph); he was at my rear bumper, and by about 110 I had at least two cars on him. We shut it down at that point. I don't know how our cars stack up against E36s, but I'm guessing that his two passengers gave me some kind of advantage. Is this result pretty much expected or was he just a shitty driver? If we were racing without passengers, would I still pull ahead of him? Either way, I had fun. Oh, yeah, I'm stock.

says "hello to my TLX".
a while's back, i ran aginst my friend's '97 estoril blue 5 spd M3 from a roll of 20 mph. we were neck in neck all through first and second gear. in third he pulled almost a carlength (my front bumper at his rear tire). but once i shifted to fourth, he flew away. literally. my cheap auto tranny just gave the race away but that's our A/T for you.

Thats about right, esp from a roll and him having more passenger. They have about the same trap speed as the CL-S6, but are much better off the line than us. So if you start from a roll it will be very close, with the CL-S6 having the slight advantage, esp once the M3 goes into 4th.
BTW this only applys to stock vs. stock, and equally skilled drivers.

Regular result for stock vs stock. M50 manifold and a reflash for the M3 and you'd be in trouble though. Also if there were turns involved, the M3 is way more capable. But good win nonetheless

Im going off the top of my head, but E36 = 240hp, E46 = 333hp. Both were 3.2l.

I think it would be competative in a straight line. I think a CLS6 might edge out the e36 in 1/4. Probably a drivers race. I think it would be no competition in the twisties as the e36 should riegn supreme in that area. Just what I think though.
