There's a 90 hp difference between the E36 (91-99) and the E46 (2001-06). The 95 should have been good for 240 bhp 10 years ago, but who knows in it's current state. You should have won, congrats.
ya...the kid said it was an "M3GT" but at far as i know the only year the made an m3 gt in the e36 model was in 1997 and was green, they also had some in the uk that were red. but the m3 gt was 110kg lighter and had 300 hp

I second the notion the e36's are slower than shit.
I like the kill.... No matter what you ended up in front and that's all that counts to me... Kills a Kill!
Bow OUT!!

It seems to me that 300 wHP in out cars should be more than adequate for a kill on the new ones. These beasts are VERY nice cars, don't get me wrong at all. I've installed stereo systems on them....They're TANKS though, they're almost 1000 lbs more beefy than ours!

A 1000lbs more beefy not quite. Try 4-500.
Regular coupes weigh in the 3400lb range, and I believe the lateset competition coupe weighed in at 3340lbs. Of course coverts are a tad more pushing near 3600.
