Thats not good!
Is yours a vert? I would have thought you should have been able to take that run.

I doubt it will win without the tuning for that car its way to restricted factory i.e take into the twisties and even with ESP off the wheels lock up and don't give you full power so our M3 lsd rules over it. Straight line who knows it may be a drivers race...unless SMG

No way that M3 looked like it was winning but had to slow down because of a car in front of it. unless the M3 driver didn't know how to drive he should have won. I mean its an slk55 not a c63.

i think the AMG has 350+ hp and 370+ Torque? (big displacement)

AMG cars are no joke in a straight line.

Its funny that "twisties" or "in the corners" always comes up when comparisons like these are made. I'd bet however that most M3 drivers (hell most drivers period) could bring their car to the limits of adhesion in the corners, recoginize it, and maintain it there.

Fact is, there will always be a faster car in a straight line. Well, unless you have a Veyron or something like that but then you pretty much have FU money so it doesn't really matter.

Seems about right. If you look at the SLK55 speedo he was doing well over 120 in the first run and 140 in the second.

M3 shines at the mid to top end of 3rd gear (75 to close to 100mph). This is why the M3 pulled ahead early. Once shifting into 4th...forget it. V8 top end and max HP kick in.

In the 2nd run...looks like they already started near 100 and M3 was probably already in 4th gear. Got smoked.

Best chance for M3 against SLK55 is to start from a dig for a straight line run and go no further than 110

I would say from a dig and not a roll, the M would win everytime.

honk honk *go* honk -- these kinds of races are pointless and prove only the stupidity of the drivers (http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=100522), did you see that traffic the SLK55 had to duck through towards the end of that stretch?

Dumb.

Why do threads like this keep popping up?
Our cars are old... the engine's been the same for almost a decade (333hp is dwarfed by tons of other cars now). We're not that fast anymore, unless you are boosted/juiced.

Face it, (most) E46 M3's out there are just nice commuter cars now with some (still) wicked styling... Freeway/stoplight racing is just dumb.

Seeing threads like this pop up remind me of those putzes that still swear by Betamax or Vinyl Records.

i could be wrong though

you are right, I was assuming it was one of our members in South Africa who posted some M3 vs. SLK vids before.

By George I think you've got it! it was the sunroof tilt! the tilt caused the car to experience greater drag, hence slowing it down :laughhard:
