out in the coz ,what a laugh, just talkin about these on here the other day and last night i went out for a play and guess what? a silver m3 comes onto junction and follows me, so bait him lke fuck and he starts to play, couple of cars in front of me and when they clear the roads totally empty, i floor it flat out and so does he, theres nowt in it really but he couldnt gain at all, kept it going till just ober 160 which created a gap, then i realised they are limited to 155, backed off and pulled in , he even flahed his lights when he turned off the road, good sport or what, very impressed with the bm, well quick,just not quick enough

 

 

he'll get the limiter removed now

 

best of all was my car is shit , it looks shit and was fuckin filthy, gotta love it though, must of thought 'WHAT THE FUCK!!!' pmsl

 

Nice one m8.

 

good show, cossie 1 BM 0

 

I had a race with a porsche last night, we both got up to 150mph then the porker left me mind you it was a new carrera turbo

Think he was a bit pissed off a 16yrs sierra kept up with him not bad for a stage 1

Well done strut brace

 

what spec is your car?

 

I took apart a New M3 last week

The guy was FUCKING GUTTED as i think he was tring to impress his missus

 

I took one out big time a few months ago lashed him good style , but at the expense of 4th gear

Well done fen your car does look like a shed but is well quick

 

I did a new M3 a few months ago as well. Baited him, and we went from 40mph to 120 going onto a dual carriageway - was very little in it TBH - pulled about 1 car length on him and that was it which could have been down to gear changes I guess. He backed off at 120mph.

Not bad for a stage 1 though!!

'bout a week after that I got nuked by an M5 though - Christ are they fast...

 

An E46 i presume you mean? Also does anyone know if they are the same as the E36 performance wise?

 

lucky there were no bends involved or he would minced you

 

i heard the e36 was supposed to be faster because it is a lot lighter, i might be wrong though

 

aye , an e46, they are more powerful than the older ones, (343bhp i think old ones were 286 ish if im not wrong), and are a lot quicker than old ones, mines a stg 3 with escoz chargecooler etc, all expertly set up by motorsport developments, love to have a go aT M5, done a couple of boxters and an oldish 911, new bmw m3 was the quickest think ive raced by far, think some more go faster bits are needed

 

a m8 of mine has a new m3 and he says it dose not handle very well at all and aint that quick

mark

 

depends on what type of box it has, paddle is supposed to be poo, this fuka was quick, believe me and as for bends..........i cant drive so tootle round them

 

my mate from guildford has a new shape m3 and he drives it like he stole it.
he keeps it in 5th and hits 175mph on the rev limit.
we got from guildford to reading in about 20-30 mins and i was shiting myself.

 

286 were the 3.0L models on the e36 but the e36 evo which was a 3.2L was 321(ish), i know, my other half used to have one, an evo that is.

 

find it hard to beleive that a stage 1 cossie can beat a new M3 unless a complete fag is driving the BM

 

Going to National Day on the Sunday morning on the M1 a magenta saph floored it infront of me (in a 5 series derv ) upto 135-140ish just after I pulled on off the A14, pulled a gap then pulled in.. But then again I was only getting up to cruising speed

 

eh!!!

 

Well done mate.

Bet he was gutted.

Arnt they electroically limited to 155mph tho!?

The specs on them are roughly as follows:

E36 M3 3ltr = 286bhp
E36 M3 Evo 3.2ltr = 320bhp
E46 M3 Evo = 325bhp
E46 M3 CSL (has carbon roof, cardboard boot floor no radio (weight saving) cut slicks) = 355bhp

Apparantly you have to sign a declaration when purchasing the 'CSL M3' to say you wont drive the car in the wet or the cold because the tyres wont work! Mind you i've insured one at work and less than a year on it had to go in the paintshop cos the paint flaked on the front bumper for no reason!

 

JAP CRAP, Was pure straight line - not even a launch so easy as.... E46 M3 is fucked on power to weight. My Cossie - 270bhp, 1200kg. E46 M3 325bhp and about 1600kg.

The M5 was a couple of year old. Model that has just gone out of production before the new V10 arrives.

That was a standing start, and honestly - he monstered me. Just went away like I was on part throttle....

 

Everyone know Cossie are a forced to be reckoned with, I dont think he will be too surprised by the result.....

M3 E46 are the tits though

 

My 4x4 saph was only a stage 1 and with 4 peeps in I hit an indicated 170mph racing a porker turbo

I let off with appx 500-700rpm to go because that is jail speeds

 

My stage 1 went off the clock at 170mph and on the race logic timing gear it was 151.3mph

Ford clocks are shit

 

Tiff, it felt worryingly fast tho, especially as he was hardly pulling away

 

aye mate, did mine at Brunters but it was fucking scary

 

I want another cossie, currently saving up.

Just need to save another 4k "in case" And the missus wants to drive it so gonna have to get a 4x4

 

speed limitter only works in 6th...

 

Don't where you got the spec for the M3 E46 325bhp because it ain't right.

E46 M3 is 343 bhp in standard trim & is definately quicker than the E36 M3 evo 321bhp.

performance on the E39 M5 & E46 M3 are very similar.

My old M3 3.0 286bhp wasn't as quick as my cossie which was rolling roaded at 288bhp. M3 still did 13.9 Q at the pod which i would say is quick for a car straight out of the box,terminals were 100 mph dead where as the cossie was 107mph.

Simon, I cant honestly see the new E46 M3 being 346 odd bhp if the new CSL M3 is circa 355bhp, BMW arnt going to charge £20,000 difference for the sake of about 9bhp!?

insane.cossie.driver, didn.t look at your post properly, sorry dude, 6 gears is

 

Just checked in what car,new M3,343bhp. Had a play with anew shape 996 Turbo a while back,left me from 90 upwards like i'd stopped. Awesome car.

 

Its not just the 9bhp mate, its has carbon roof and a wider track than the M3 etc, extra optional features over the M3, such as factory rev limiter removal, track tyres etc.

CSL was 360bhp so its actually 17bhp more

 

a mate of mine was telling me today he did a new M3,
also said he was gonna put "this only cost me £****" on the boot lid aswell,
what a tit

was the charge cooler rad was ok mate???

i`m 100% confirmed on the track at croft!!!

You've been sniffying too much petrol from that leaky YB block of yours. No stage 1 sierra Cosworth can take a well driven 996 Turbo.

240+ HP?? > 415 HP?? , not on your life!

 

ive beet a stage 1 saph in my standard 3dr
but its a dog.
1 wheel drive. rubbin rear tyres and loads of smoke coming out the zorst

 

Well ive raced a few old shape m3's in my old escort rs turbo and either sat with them or pulled a tiny bit on them....my escort only had a chip and an exhaust, but it was set up well...
