My friend just came back from Moroso and here are his numbers for his three runs..

13.8 , 13.8 , 13.9

I will get his trap speed and 60ft times when i see him.
His car is stock and has over 3k miles.

I would like feedback from all who have claimed that a c32 outruns the m3 in the .25 mi with low 13s ...

I think SilverStreak may have a point.. The weather in Miami really holds down the numbers??

There have been considerably faster 1/4 done by C32's, and swap a pulley and it'll destroy an E46 m3 in a straight line. We have both cars, and while the M3 obviously feels more sporty, straight line the C32 feels a bit faster. However its kind of biased because the manual will feel faster just because its a manual (from a driving aspect). But they are in different classes...One is a 2dr sports car, one is a 4dr sedan sports Luxury car. So even though they are compared a lot, they are really not in the same kind of class. Maybe if there was an E46 m3 4dr, but damn the the C32 feels amazing. I have taken the E46 m3 on the track a couple times, and it felt good, a bit of understeer, and way too heavy, but felt good... could use some more trq. I have not taken the C32 to the track yet, but its just such a sweet car.

Either way I'll still take either one anyday...just gotta steal them from the garage, haha. Peace

I see your point. The C32 is pure luxury.
I had the opportunity of driving one for about 15 minutes and it felt as if i were driving on air. The ride was smooth and the inside console was pure luxury.
My M on the other hand is a sports car. Often jerky and wanting to redline :evil2

Although they are different physically, they are quite even in performance. I just wanted to show that the M3 is dead even with the c32 in the .25 mi.
Everyone i talk to always gives the C32 the benefit of the doubt.

High 13's for a C32 isnt too impressive. Theres E36 M3's on here with just a few mods and good drivers piloting them that can pull those numbers.

usually the C32 runs in the low 13s.... if you go to mbworld.org you will see alot of timeslips~ most people gets sub 13.5 for 1/4 mile.

what about the SLK 32's??? What difference in power and weight if any??? I believe the SLK's amg's are faster, what makes them faster than the C32 amg's??

It's the weather, the elevation, the humidity, the air density, trust me on this...
