The E92 is tough to launch the E46 is easily over one second slower 0 to 60...

These newer cars can really put the power down.

It is? Huh. My e92 is stock but with better tires and i just mash the gas and it goes no wheel spin. On the vbox i get 4.1 seconds 0-60mph everytime which compares to 4.0 in my i8 using launch control. Both do the 1/4 mile in 12.3 seconds at 113mph. Not sure what happened in this vid with the e92 GTS but i was expecting high 11's (if i was the driver) not 13.5. That was completely embarrassing.

Yeah great tires make a huge difference.

You get 4 sec 0-60 in your i8?

Yeah 4.0 pretty sad for a car with a $148msrp. My 991 GT3 with the same $148msrp gets low 3's and modded Turbo S low 2's.

Not to bad IMO.

A larger eDtive can fix that

I think it's respectable considering.

I'd so love to have a hot lap in your GT3.

I still don't understand how they couldn't find an E36 M3 to throw into the mix

If someone was willing to lend a GTS I'm sure an e36 wouldn't have been an issue lol

They can rent a GTS.

Not so easy to get an older car.

This board has turned into people obsessing about drag racing their 600hp, automatic, boats. How much fun the car is to drive is secondary or not even a factor. Makes baby Jesus cry.

jmg · 09-19-2018, 08:12 PM

So basically... zero surprises.

I'll take than E30 though!

Welcome to modern car culture; designed by poor self-centered YouTube videos, useless Ring lap times, affordable leases, paddle slush boxes, and "specs". Very few people seem to care about enjoyment and how a car feels anymore. Glad you said it!

Yeah but it paved the way for the new guys! I view the E30 as a little stud! In addition.....I'm not sure any of the others have dominated their peers the way the E30 did in its time period.

They won by generation, which I expected.

Makes me wonder what the new G gen will do? Faster yet ?

BMWI6 · 09-20-2018, 07:07 AM

E46 CSL all day everyday.

TJS///M3 · 09-20-2018, 07:17 AM

I'm drooling over that F80 CS, but no way in hell I'd want anything other than that E30 if they were all put in a line and someone said, pick one and only one.

I think it will be quicker than the F8x

03BeastCharmer · 09-20-2018, 10:09 AM

Having previously owned a E30 M3, and still own a E36 M3, I'm over the really old cars except for driving on special situations or occasions. E30 was a marvel at the time, but can be best by anything new today. For driving feel, and regular use I'd take the E92. But I'm biased.
