M3 vs E36 AMG

[romeo]

I have a co-worker that wants to race me from like light 2 light, he has a C36AMG Mercedes, i have a '95 M3, we are both stock, i just have an air intake, but that dont mean shit, what do you think?

[blown318]

I think you mean an e55??? If so, he should be able to beat a stock 95 m3. Those AMGs are fast as hell. I'd still take an m over it anyday though

[romeo]

It is a E36AMG not E55AMG, i know the E55 would beat it, but i was wondering about the E36

[romeo]

You have more pics of your car, its looks sick from the back, you have more from the front or the whole car?

[blown318]

oh, i dont know then, I've never heard of an e36 amg, sorry bro

btw, i'll email you some pics later tonight or tomorrow.

[romeo]

Iam such an idiot, i meant C36AMG, not E36, heheehehe


Ok, please email them to Romeo@FlyGuyCrew.com

-Thank You

e36??

maybe c36?

the only c classes to my knowledge that are amg'ed up are c32, c36 and their was a c42 or c43..sometin like dat.

e36? never heard heard of.

stock m3 should take any of those c classes( to my knowledge..)...except for the new 2002 c32 which is extremely fast.

e55amg is a bit faster than an m3 too.

Well thats what i think also, cause he always keep talking shit my car is fast, theres no faster car then my mercedes, so i want to shut his ass up and tell him what ///M Power is all about, lol

Light to Light, you will take him with nice driving. But on the beltway, it may be close, depending on how fast you guys go and from what mph, c32 AMG's are fast. People say they are women's car, but get those on the freeway and they fly like you won't believe. I'm still kinda confused on what kind of AMG, but if it is an AMG...from a light you will take him. Freeway....whole different story...but I still think you can take him on the freeway too.




Good Luck man and let us know what happens. Pe@ce.

its a c36, okeee kewl, yea like all mercedes slow from start fast on highway

To make certain you'll beat em', make it a point to find a patch w/some twists.

Those AMG's are great and very comparable to you in a straight line (and does have more torque) but in the twists, he won't be able to hang on (literally)!

Think their lateral is in the low .80's; .

he is talking about an amg c36. there was also an amg c43 in the old c-class body style. the c36's were older and had a little less power, but were still plenty fast. it will give you a great run. may even beat you. depends on you as a driver. if you can drive well i'd say you can beat him, but the bigger engined c43 would be a little tougher. good luck.

C36 AMG: 276hp, 284lb/ft, 3550lbs, 0-60 in 5.9seconds

E36 M3: 240hp, 225lb/ft, 3232lbs, 0-60 in 5.5seconds

Two cars, both straight-six engines, both tuned for highway speed. If you drive it right, the M3 should have no problem taking the C36. If you bog the motor down on takeoff, you'll watch his tailights fade into the distance (torque converters do have some purpose).

I can help you here. I beat my friend in his C36 when my M3 was bone stock.

A 95 M3 would easily beat a C36 from the line and I'm pretty sure the M3 would win at highway speeds. Its true the AMG has good high-end pickup but the M3 should still pull away.
