328i Sport/'00-5spd Manual- 0-60=6.9 1/4=15.2/92.1MPH
328ci/'00 5spd Auto- 0-60=7.1 1/4=15.3/89.6MPH
It looks pretty clear to me that a 5spd max is quicker then one. I know for a fact mine is
.BTW I beat a 5spd M3 from 0-95MPH the other day by a foot.
The guy botched up his 2-3 shift and I gained 5ft on him

Well this month's Motor Trend tested one at 6.5, and I've seen 328's with times of 6.3 before.

That does not count, that is a broken in 328i. They tested that very same car when it was brand new and it did 6.9=60. A broken in max is easaly as quick as a broken in 328i. For example I got 0-60=6.3 on my broken in max{G-Tech} when it was stock.

Too bad they don't make the 328 anymore...and there's no 3-series review at all in the new motor trend.
They old 328s aren't that fast...and stock 5-speed 4th gen will edge them out. Hell...when I was stock, I barly got edged out by a 330i...now I kill em.

i find it hard to believe that this guy beat a s2k with stock maxima, auto too.
is it that hard to shift?, tell me if im wrong, but all u need to do is press on the gas till u reach high rpm and shift, wats so hard about that.
quick question, can u rev when ur car is moving ?

heh...I remember reading in a normal car mag about an S2000 taking a Boxster, stock for stock, in the quarter. Using laws of inference, I guess auto maxi's can take boxsters?
Seriously though, S2000s are nice cars for what they are, but I'd be ****ed if I shelled out over $30k for something that crept around like an integra in daily driving. I used to be a loyal Honda fan (90-95 was the pinnacle of honda design/engineering imo...95 6-speed Legend Type II coupe, late 4th-gen prelude, 92-93 Integra GS-R, 92-93 accord two-doors still had some character...). But as of late, I've abandoned them. They could totally redeem themselves to me by making both a 6-speed CL-S (I keep hearing from people that its in the works), and an S3200 solidtop, the S2000 with the Honda 3.2 (or something among those lines...a 6 in that small, rwd, sweet-seating-posture-and-sweet-shifting/handling machine would be nice. Get some torque to spin those rear wheels )
