I just had a race with a 2007 Audi S3, and..

[natto fire]

A mid 13 second car made your world a blur? Do yourself a favor and don't buy a fast car...

BTW, a street race means public streets, as in not a controlled, sanctioned, raceway. Sounds to me like that was the type of road you were on, therefore you were in a "street race". Not that I care, but you are trying to argue semantics, and are wrong.

don't know how much it weighs but it should be around the A3 2.0T 3263 lbs. since it has the same engine just with bigger turbos.

TQ is not a real unit.

Neither is HP. Who cares, you know what he meant; ft/lbs.

HP is a real unit. 1 hp = 746 W.

Yes, but it is calculated from an actual measurable force. In this case, torque.

I am aware of that, I was referring to it being an arbitrary unit. I phrased it incorrectly.

sorry fixed
330Ci has 225HP/214 LB-FT TQ
S3 has 265HP/258 LB-FT TQ

The car is a BMW E46 330Ci M Sport (2005 face lift registered in 2006 on a 06 plate)

It has 240 HP from a 3.0L straight six and does 0-60 in just over 6 seconds. The US version I believe only has 225bhp (don?t ask me why)

The M ?sport pack? is literally just the M-tech styling pack (for looks), with also sports suspension and a few other extras fitted as standard. It?s a pretty standard option, so it?s nothing special.

LOL at how you claim to be an expert at driving cars ("I work for BMW" to anybody that will listen) and this is the first time you've spun up to 130? LOL


Also your car sounds like a ricer to me, //M badge must add what? 5 hp? Damn!

You sound like a little kid, it's embarrasing to read your waffle. Seriously.

And you think my car is rice, LOL. Are you on crack? It?s probably worth at least twice as much as your ford. :roll:

I would just like to point out a minor detail: I don?t work for BMW anymore; I work for Fujitsu as a project manger working on the MoD defence accounts, along with several other high profile contracts including the NHS contract.

What do you do? You clean cars right?

Sorry kiddo, we?re simply not in the same league.

EDIT: I just had to point out the hilarity of the bolded text in your post above. Are you clueless? I?ve not once, never in the slightest proclaimed I was an expert at driving cars.

WHAT about if it was on The Ring? Thats a 'public toil road' but you can go at whatever speed limit you want and you can race others but no timing is taken

Granted that people that go on The Ring only go on it to go around it as fast as they can!

Man some of you guys are just retarded.

A 330 with the M Sport package doesn't mean its riced out, it means its a badass looking 330.

Its this Audi S3. Very nice car

You sound like a real d!ck. You are literally attacking this guy for nothing, except that he has a way nicer car than you.

I love how you try to deflect his comments by calling him a child, purely out of jealousy.

Makes you look like the child.

Thank you. I quite like your examples BTW, lol.

Some people just don't have a clue what they're talking about. I just let them blabber on and make a fool of themselves.

Don't listen to some of these haters, a 330Ci M is not rice, most of them drive civics which don't compare to the refinement of a BMW.

Yep. Either that or Mazda3's. You ask them why they got the Mazda and they say, "BECAUSE IT IS SOOO FAST". Then you post about racing and everyone goes, "WHOA, WHOA BUDDY, STREET RACING, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND??". Then you tell them that they spent 35K on a car with sh!tty ass interior that they drive at 35MPH, and they just say, "".

My mates going to get an S3 and thinks BMW drivers are total w@nkers ...haha! I have seen more of them do totally w@nkerish stuff on motorways though...

Man it would have been sweet to get the M3 that I was thinking of getting. Saved up enough £££ but the sodding insurance was OBSCENE...now I don't even drive to work. The M3 would have seriously cool to have. At least with the new M3 coming out the old one prices are dropping and they'll seriously tumble in 2-3yrs time. I can still get some awesome bargains!

Yeah, I'm thinking about doing the exact same thing in a couple years. Hopefully I'll be able to snag one with <40k miles on it

Should be quite a few with ~ 40k miles or so around still imo.

Hopefully but I'd rather get a house now and make future investment plans then get an M3 later

It was an S3, trust me.

I don't know whether it was a customer's car or a demo car as it pulled into the Audi show room.

All the same, it was definitely an S3. I know my cars back to front.
