Default a4 vs m3

How do you think a b5 a4 with k04 turbo setup would do against an e36 m3 from a dig? Roll?

If it is a Quattro, you should be able to get him off the line with a good launch. Remember though that even though it's only rated for 240hp, the E36 is a very capable car and pulls hard - I'd bet you'll still need to be on your game or a good M3 pilot may end up pulling on you.

Is the E36 stock? There are several folks making superchargers for the E36's, and I've seen more than a few running around with S54 motors in them.

Yeah you can make them nasty, but I think he was considering a typical street encounter, which is likely going to be a non-supercharged car.

Heheh, you DO realize what the outcome of that would be right? It's a one-sided bloodbath in the making. Did you get my email a few minutes ago? Need to push back to 11:30 OK?

M-3s can't launch that hard and are hard to get 2 hook,but don't be fooled by 240hp Hp alone isn't everything when it comes to speed,in fact its one of the least efficecnt ways to go fast.
