[QUOTE="GTII, post: 2611316, member: 5967"] Hey all, I know u guys settled already..but just my 2cents.. from being a drag slut here :p I dont think a [B]stock/[/B]std SW20 turbo can pull away from a E46 M3 that easily if they both giving it a good go. However with some mods ie. ECU, exhaust and more boost (say about 13psi), it will. I tried this against a E36 M3 3.2 ..so the newer E46 is just slightly faster. Around the track, you will find that it might be easier to steer the BM comfortably..but over a few laps, the tyres and brakes will fade quicker than the SW20 ..purely bcos of the weight. Now then, this was in a fairly cool climate..say about 23 deg. and when compare with KL where temps are in the 30s, i think the turbo will suffer more from the heat than an NA. Whereas drags with the Supras, check this thread: http://slender.mine.nu/mr2/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=5768&SearchTerms=heathcote,drag But you MR2 drivers out there know that the MR's launches is where its at :) Similar to an All wheel drive but not quite lol Wished I was back in KL to join you guys for TT :) [/QUOTE]
