Spanked an M3 today on the highway
I pulled atleast 3 cars and kept pulling. It was an older syle M3. Anyone know how much horsepower these cars have?
My car = 03 max Se (auto)

Maybe he wasn't racing you and poker-faced you into it.

A 2K3 can and will spank those older M3s any day of the week. The previous generation M3 is a whole other story. Only a 6-speed Max will give it any sort of race. By the way, those older M3s really stick to the road but are really underpowered.
#13
That's a first generation M3 from approx. 1986-88. Less HP and weight than you, so still a fair race.

Well if that would be the case, than this guy had the m3 front bumper, m3 fenders, m3 tail, everything m3.. This wasnt just a bmw with m3 stickers. Unless he really made all these changes.

I have an 89 European spec M3 and it is no match for my 2000 5-speed in a stop light race. However take it down a back road and the little 4 banger will walk away. My BMW tops out just a little shy of 140 MPH. Top end should go to the Max as well, not to mention much more comfortable to drive at speed.

I've driven a 1997 M3 auto and it was very quick. I would say that it should spank any stock Maxima.

If it was an older m3, like the one on ebay, then you would have no problem beating it. Anything newer and I don't think the max can beat it on the highway, not by 3 car lengths anyhow...unless he wasn't racing.

Re: Re: Spanked an M3 today on the highway
The auto M3 will have an advantage in top end gearing, and the E36 M3 rated at 240 hp is notoriously under rated. I have a hard time believing that you pulled three car lengths if the guy was getting on it. No offense, but not much skill involved between a straightline highway race, especially in an automatic.
I have almost a harder time believing the other guy who walked a 6-speed S4 in your auto maxima. Well, maybe he stayed in 6th, who knows. But a stock S4 would have handed you your lunch with a proper downshift, if you were in a six speed then it is a different story.
Let me know when you guys walk that Z06, M5, E55, whatever. REMEMBER, YOU ARE THE ROADWARRIOR!

Honestly people, do any of you have any idea what the specs of that car are? The last year they still made that body style was 1991. It is a 2.3 liter inline 4, 192hp, 170tq, 2867lbs, manual, rwd. Now, a 2k3 maxima has around 200fwhp and similar torque. Thats more at the wheels than the old m3 has at the crank, and all of you are saying BS?

Those older M3's handle like they are on rails.. I learned to drive stick shift in one . I think it was an 89 or something like that. They are undcer powered, and have crappy shifters. Handling is wickkkeeed !

Actually many have raced m3s, i think they are fast low end, but high end they suck.. thats what ive heard....

uhhh... guys, he's talking about the e30 m3...
those things have 190hp, and a maxima would spank those...
if he was talking about the e36 m3's...........he wouldn't have spanked him that hard...trust me i know...
