M3 (stock) - 333hp 252 ft-lbs of torque 3415lbs
GSX (stock) - 210hp 214 ft-lbs of torque 3270lbs
Did you think about the weight diffrence? i know its only 145lbs, then add the
2 guys in the gsx about 280lbs(depending) gsx= 3550lbs
1guy in the m3 about 140(depending) m3=3555lbs then add the 150lbs and 120hp in the M3
thats if everyone weighed 140lbs, so id say no contest with the m3 even if he was running shorter gears maybe in the 1/8 mile but not in the 1/4, thats why you buy a light car and do heavy mods to it, but then you wind up with all ass and not enough car

Thank you beavis for telling us something we already knew about power to weight...but above about 70..power to weight don't mean very much...hence why 9 second bikes can get pulled by high 11 second cars pretty easily. The M3 prolly still had a higher mph that that GSX, it would have cought him.

If he was dumb enough to try racing some one without talking or signaling, bouncing off the limiter, etc. He deserved what he got. If you guys are confused at all about the power/weight differences, let me give you a quick summary:
M3 (stock) - 333hp 252 ft-lbs of torque 3415lbs
GSX (stock) - 210hp 214 ft-lbs of torque 3270lbs
If you do a quick mathematical equation, you'd find that the M3 has about 150lbs and 120hp MORE than the newest (1999) GSX's. Hence, no contest. Now say (in theory) if he was a heavy performance modder and got more HP out of his car, dont you think he'd have a bit more respect and knowledge for his car than obviously shown?
