Here's a good list to compare our cars too:

http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html

Asuming we can break into the high 14's fairly easily with bolt ons, and we are in the 15's stock. This list should give you a idea. As for 330HP M3's, I've been itching to try one at the track! They are at the top of my priority list for kills at the track. Stats are interesting on this car:

Nominal output/rpm 333/7900 hp
Max. torque/rpm 262/4900 lb-ft
Weight 3415 lbs

Weight of my car via the scale at Norwalk is 3480lbs. Pretty close, but thier TQ is a bit low IMO. Should be an interesting race.
Rygen... it'll be a close one between you and an M3, methinks. You've got the torque advantage and gearing that you'd probably take the launch. And, they've got to rev awefully high to see all of that 333 hp. Bring your camera! That's a race I'd love to see!

Personally I think I would beat one. Thier 333HP is rated at the flywheel, and the weight of the cars are nearly the same and from what I researched, they are a mid 13 second car. I can run a 13.2 from an idle launch with no effort all day long.

Well back to the original thread,lol
RSX Type-S - I beat my buddies, they can be fast, but stock for stock, its a drivers race.
sn-95(94-98)- Again probably a drivers race, thats if its stock and in good condition.
(99-04)- You better be modded,lol
Miata - I just looked up cars.com , and they say they run a 15.2, so that would definitly be a drivers race.
v6 camaro/v6 firebird - you will have no problem with
TSX - They run supposedly a 15.6, so you should have no problem with them.
BMW(M series) - dont even try,lol

i use cars.com for the specs and 1/4 times, so if they are wrong, i apologize.

Rygen, it's a pretty close race between an M3 and a GT.... and you'll wipe the floor with a GT! Weren't you originally modding to take out a 350z? Geeze... talk about overkill! [sm=badbadbad.gif]

Fallfast90.... that's a pretty accurate summary to the original question of the post.

It's been said... there's cars we'll beat, cars we won't beat. Take it to the track and see what your ride will do!

Well, stock the best run they got is 15.1 and the best run we got 100% stock is like 15.3. Will be a close race, is it an auto or manual? Also, Hondas have to rev high to make power, the owner might not be comfortable with doing that. Not sure.

From a dig in a stoplight to stoplight sprint, yes, from a high roll like 40mph, no. They have decent top end, we...don't.

And to the guy who started the thread...RSX type-S should be close if you're 5-sp, again best bet is from a dig because top end they walk us. I had one, trust me. Cobalt s/c SS we should lose to. SRT-4 will walk you and it won't be pretty. The s197 v6 matches up well with the sn95 GT's <94-98>, the new edge <99-04> ones will walk us.The last gen 325 BMW's should be easy kills, not sure of the 335 and forget beating an M3 unless you go f/i. New Miatas should be close, older ones you'd walk. The TSX and v6 Camaro/ Bird you'd walk though for sure, the TSX is just a heavy, underpowered 4-banger and the auto ones and mid 16's, the manuals are mid-15's but chances of running a 6-sp TSX are slim.
