Why is the Cab slower then the Coupe?ArtemisEntreriR34 08-21-2002, 07:36 PM Why does the M3 Cab hit 0-60 in 5.5 secs with a Pro Driver, and the M3 Coupe hits it in 4.8 secs with a Pro Driver? At first I thought it might be all the gear used to make the top drop and such, but.... with the Corvette coupe, it hits 0-60 in 4.6 with a Pro, and the Rag top hits 60 in exactly the same time as the coupe. Tony La Selva 08-22-2002, 05:37 PM Unfortunatly the M3 cab weighs in an extra (approx.) 400 lbs. :( The corvette convertable does not suffer the weight penalty the M3 does though, that's why the cab and coupe has the same times ArtemisEntreriR34 08-23-2002, 12:43 AM :eek: Where does the extra weight come from? :confused: :confused: Mr_Root 08-27-2002, 09:27 AM The Cabrio must have more stable and tougher construction. Add auto-roof and worst areadynamics and you will have your second lost. ;) szechingyu218 11-14-2002, 05:58 PM TOO BAD THAT I HAVE A M3 E46 CAB :( BlOOe46 12-11-2002, 07:56 PM well, i wouldnt say the m3 coupe hits 4.8 seconds, im thinking more like 5.2 seconds; however, u are right, the m3 cab is slower i think the answer lies in the rigidness of the bodys of both cars, the m3 coupe is definitely a lot more rigid then the cab which means aerodynamic losses wont effect it as much and i think u should look again with the c5 coupe/convert, because this principle of rigidness in a car's body holds true no matter what ur comparing szechingyu218 12-13-2002, 02:56 AM I am looking for some mods on my CAB M3 E46, Like Header or Turbo / SC something like that, but can't find any web sell these, please help.... thx szechingyu218 12-13-2002, 03:07 AM I am looking for some mods on my CAB M3 E46, Like Header or Turbo / SC something like that, but can't find any web sell these, please help.... thx BlOOe46 12-13-2002, 12:23 PM first mod i would suggest, find a hardtop:p :D Automotive Network, Inc., Copyright ©2012
