Hi well last night in the pub (you no one of those chats my cocks bigger than yours kinda thing) bmw vs escos came up turns out the guy has a nice bmw e46 m3 csl look a like, goes on to say its this and that then started to say it would whip a 500hp escos no problem a bmw m3 is that good a standard one would beat a probley sorted cossie got to the point where i felt like hitting him
dont get me wrong i like bms i have one as my daliy driver but would a m3 beat a cossie a 500hp one

You do realise just how fast a genuine 500bhp car is on the road, right!?
A boosted up mk1 frs on standard turbo will keep with an e46 on the straights.

Power as with anything means nothing, it's just part of an equation, the M3 is a heavy car and has less torque, even a Cosworth with less power than the M3 would still leave it as it has at least two massive advantages in it's favour, the main one being weight!

Depends on whether the BMW is modified? But it would have to be highly modified to do it, and not that many have, so I'd say the cossie would walk all over it.

The escort will be much faster lol
You can't compare a 500 bhp car to a 320ish bp car
But
After the race/burn up
The m3 driver can carry on using his car as a Dailey
The escort will need repairs

From a standing start, I don't doubt what you're saying, but what above 100mph? In my opinion E46 M3's really come into their own above a ton, they seem to pull even harder at that sort of speed compared to a Stage 3 cossie.

M3's are quick but only when they get going. Around town is not going to show you what a M3 can do. A stage 3 4x4 cossie is not going to leave for dead a E46. RWD and stage 3 and above and you should walk it

My mate has an E46 that he thinks is the fastest thing on Earth, I would happily pay someone on here to come my way and show him up in a Cossie

Yes a decent power cossie would kill a e46 m3 in a straight line but throw in a few bends or down a country road and the bmw would be gone as long as the bmw driver could actually peddle on.

I would hope if your putting 500bhp through a cossie you've uprated the resr of the running gear to match which would even it out.
