Another "Supra vs" thread

A friend of mine is picking up his new car this evening. It's a BMW Z3 M-Coupe and I was wondering how my TT would stack up against it.

Now the power levels are similar, but the 3.2 N/A M-Coupe I guess will have a lot more torque at the bottom end. It's also a slightly lower kerb weight AND has more central weighting, so he's probably going to corner quicker too.

Has my soop got any advantages at all ? (apart from the obvious: working indicators, not being a BMW and not looking butt-ugly, of course ).

i like the z3:D

the M-Coupe is cool. and they are quick. but dont think you would have a problem with your TT.

there was another thread about a month ago on the M-Coupe if you do a search

the m coupe was the fastest M you could buy if my memory serves me before the new m6, and did it not have a mid 4 second to 60 time, i think possible to 60 the coupe would win but after that who knows

Go out and play then come back and tell us!

Fairly simiar performance to a standard Supra, they're very good handling cars. I would have imagined it would have less torque without turbos and would generate the power through more revs.

There's a Z4 M-coupe on the cards now as well.

It's almost out actually - will be in the UK next couple of months.

0-60 under 4.5 and 0-100 in 11.6, you'll need to be bpu just to stay with it.

The new one right? The old one wasnt that quick.

The Z3 M-coupe is a car that I've had a 'do' with when my UK-tt was completely stock. On a rolling start both cars matched each other completely all the way upto about 110LPH.

Don't know what the result would be if it was a standing start mind you.

there is only one m3 coupe that's the roadster, fooking quick, one wasted me but i was in my civic type r, which i had the nos can in when i raced the thing (^^ not a joke had a ctr with 100 progressive shot of nitrous 13.6 @106 at pod spent 7k on mod in one year on the damn thing) supra is way faster then my ctr even on low boost, and ctr was quick think the m3 roadster would give you a damn good race, as someone else said 0-100 in 11.6 stock supra is 0-100 in 11.8 good bpu should have the kill, stock supra tight race to 110ish and after when the weight doesn't matter the supra will win is my guess upto some naughty leepons

why do u keep saying m3 roadster? no such thing

Is this BMW the two seater jobbie with the almost vertical rear?

If so, I came up behind one of these last night, so fast it couldn't get out of the way quick enough. Fair do's though, he had a play at catching up but we both got owned later on by an Escort estate!

Mind you, it was cheating by overtaking in any lane it felt like including the hard shoulder, flashing other drivers and generally being driven in a reckless manner.
