will the crossfire srt-6 be able to take on or keep up with the new 2008 m3 coming up?

 

the upcoming '08 M3 will be faster than the srt-6...

as for the '01 - '06 e46 M3... the srt-6 should beat it... especially in the big end/at higher speeds...thanks to the super charger.

and this is coming from a guy who owned an '02 M3 before my crossfire... and my M3 ran 13.08 at the track (6 speed).

 

unfortunately not in a straight way...

 

I bet we have a quicker 0-60. the new m3 has 415 hp and only 310 ft-lbs of torque, not to mention that the m3 will weigh 3,400 while we weigh 3,200 lbs.
I bet if you did the did some modding to the srt-6 it could beat the m3.

 

with the right modding any car can be faster than any car... here is an example... http://www.ronpatrickstuff.com/

 

Way cool. I read all the popular science articles when i was a kid, but never had the $2 for the plans.

 

That's too funny...

 

Very true.

Also, a lot of people tend to think that HP is all that matters.
For instance, guy has a stock Trailblazer SS w/around 400 HP. Has more HP than me, but a lot more pounds to carry.

It seems that many pay no attention to power to weight ratios anymore - -That is, except Lotus drivers -

 

I'm not sure if the M3 has as good a launch as the x-fire. I read about the m3 that it doesn't put down full hp/tq in 1st-2nd gears? It could be making too much hp for the drivetrain in those gears. I'm sure the car can take it a few times, but BMW has to sell it with a warrantee. correct me if I'm wrong.
