M3 and TL A-spec

[m3 owns s4]

Okay so there is no race but honestly, i like my new TL a-spec but there are plenty of guys on the acura forum who claims that their TL's can beat the e36 m3's. I just laugh my ass off because they are just arrogant and stupid. I will find out his location and have some of the local bimmer guys take him out. The boy needs a lesson

This thread will get locked/closed, but I am sure I have read a story here somewhere of an E36 M beating a new TL. If the TL is 6mt, it might be close.

i live in CT, ill mess around

yeah i just cant believe it, im so sure that the e36 m3 can own the tl. May be when i get good at the 6spd, some one can come and race me on my tl...

the thing is 3450lbs, has 270hp/240torque, but it has shorter gears than the E36 M3. I wouldn't be too confident.

The A-SPEC seems to be a pretty formidable opponent. It's a big 4-door sedan as well. I don't know how they run up top, but I figure the E36 M3 edges it out in most categories. Stock-for-stock, with comparible drivers, I would give the edge to the E36 M3.

well, i think the Tl may have the top speed (bigger engine, 6spd)
Drivers race but from the roll, i think the aspec will win
