c36 AMG vs M3

[27draggers]

c36 is about $50k, a couple tenK bit more than an M3, but it's a sweet ride. i'll take the M3 in the turns, but straightline, c36 wins doesnt it?

anyone have any expirience with the c36 or even c32 AMG? possible project car many people overlook.

Its a C32. Its been said that it is faster straight away but that it can't handle as well as an M3. ON the track some magazine said it sucks because of all the saftey systems.

there is a c36 AMG too. benz made:

c32 AMG (3.2 inline6)

c36 AMG (3.6 inline6)

c46 non-AMG (4.6 v8)

[27draggers]

sorry, i meant the older gen.



and i was referring to the e36 m3 as well.

The C -AMGs are excellent cars, though. I do feel that they should have made it in an optional Automatic. But I think that they should do it for all of the MB line as well. Well... until they have perfected the MT for MB.

As for the safety systems, this is what makes the MB line safer, Which could be a + or a - depending on your perspective on things.

One of my good friends owns one:

At it with a C43

The car is fast, and really moves over 100 mph.

uh.. it's c43, not c46

and no, the c43 doesnt beat the e36 m3 in handling or speed, so neither does the c36.

it's a C32 V6 not inline..and yes the M3 has mad handling over the C32...but anyhow track wise i would take M3 but overall i obviously chose the C32

C32 will beat the m3 in straight line

i raced one in my video that will be out soon. He got a head start as i was stopped and he was at 20 mph passing me on the wrong side of the street but i caught up to him and beat him by half a car space. But it looked bad because he got a head start. I could have easily taken him by 2~3 car spaces. It was a kompressor c brand new

[27draggers]

isnt the kompressor c-class the lowest trim? i know the older gen c-classes had 6 cylinder motors, and the lowest model was a supercharged inline-4 (how shitty is that, that i think only activated after 50mph?) i figured the kompressor meant supercharger. im probably wrong.

but yeah, those are slow as shit.

we're talking about the AMG trim benzes.

...the C32? The SC'd new AMG C-class? They have Kompressor badging on the side....

....if this is somehow true by any means.....damn Amir, I don't know what to say. What the hell are you running in that M3? That's crazy!

[pete]

a new c32 amg will rape an e36 m3 in a straight line... sorry.


maybe it was a c230 kompressor?
