M3 would get nowhere near a 450bhp FD :god

the new M3 is what.. 500bhp? under 5 sec 0-60.
would depend on driver as some one said before..
i\'m guessing a 450bhp fd would have a 0-60 time of about 4 sec?
guessing also a lower milage chassis would have slight better handling..
if it helps??

else give me a few mths then i can tell you how a medium mod fc with about 400bhp will be like against whateva i come across haha

My quote was not for the new M3 as dont know the figures on the new ones but the older ones 2002 - 2006 are 343bhp or so :driving

ive had a play with one of them when my car was on stock twins and it didnt get anywhere........ :Giggle

also given a spanking to a v8 vantage before.....

i dont think there\'s much on the road that would stay anywhere near a 400bhp+ rx7

Agreed a 450bhp RX7 would emabarass quite a few expensive sports cars, I\'ve seen off a 911 Turbo, few M3\'s and a RS4 :D

What about 1000cc superbikes? When my fd was standard i played with loads of new and old 600s and kept up with em! In terms of mid-range speed( 80-140mph) i reckon a 450hp rex could beat a 750 , maybe even an old 1000 gixer.

Slightly off topic but on Gran Turismo 4 the race FD handles almost better than everything else on that game !!!!!

the problem is its not just about having 450bhp its also down to alot of other things, need to have other decent mods to support it like decent drivetrain upgrades, decent tyres, lots of things affect it, mainly the driver thou, ive had a play with some very expensive cars but usually they are driven but 50+ men who probably arent pushing it all the way.

Just for the record the M5 is just over 500 BHP. The New M3 is 414 BHP (Identical to the RS4 as it happens)

Post by: Kash_ on March 20, 2009, 12:34:10 PM
New M3 has only 414 HP? ..... should be able to walk that with ease :D

Now the M5 would be a good race :driving
Title: 450bhp.
Post by: Grizzly on March 20, 2009, 12:42:34 PM
LOL, The new M3 weighs 1600kg at 420hp, i would say a proper 450hp Fd at 1260-1300 would make it look like its going backwards.

There int allot that would keep with a proper 450hp Fd but keep an eye out for a 996 or 997 GT2 R but there rare so you\'ll know as its the only Porsche you won\'t be able to pass/ keep with

My boss got given a new M5 as a courtesy car when his M3 was in for a service, we went out for a blast in it....

On the straights it was savage, just pulled and pulled and pulled. But it corners like bambi on meth, understeer is unbelievable. To get it to oversteer you have to REALLY try. Wasnt massively impressed tbh. He also got a shot in the new M3 and he says it didnt think it was much faster than his E46.

My best to date, with just over 300fwhp, is a 911 C4S - which if memory serves me right is the 3.6?? Anyhoo, left it for dead from a standing start and he wasn\'t gaining much on the straight before I turned off.

911 drivers really dont like being laughed at - \'specially by baseball-hatted children in fancy cars with big spoilers!! hehe
Title: 450bhp.
Post by: Kash_ on March 20, 2009, 01:23:29 PM
same here best to date is a 2006 911 Turbo, wooped him from third onwards, he just couldn\'t catch up and that was on low boost lol :) and yes he wasn\'t happy when I let him go past :D
