when you consider an auto slower though, it is only by tenths of a second... the lude has to make up almost a second... the auto wont slow it down that much. if it was a upshift/downshift race, the lude could MAYBE take it...
but remember... drag racing is more consistent with an auto. braketorque it. end of story. the stick is harder to launch, and if you miss a gear... the auto will not ever miss a gear. and an m3 auto is a bit more aggressive than the 3 class auto tranny...
sooooo....
stock vs. stock, you better just give him the money...

The bimmer automatically has 2 cylinders on the Prelude, as well as displacement. Electronic trickery has made Honda famous, but it really can't catch up to raw size in stock form. At highway speeds, the Prelude should be dust.

One question:
Does anyone know the electronically governed limit for the top speed of E36 M3s?

donno, by the time the M3 reaches 100mph and no prelude in the rear view mirror, it might fall apart, considering its a 6 year old car... bmw's last no more than 3year like domestics imo. after the 3rd year, it's payup time to the dealers for service. hehehehe.

Just another biased japanese product loyalist who knows nothing more than over-hyped fiction.

Now think this: Which car was designed to mill around in the triple digit area? The Prelude, an economic sporty coupe, or the M3, a detuned racecar designed with the likes of Le mans competitors in mind? Le mans = endurance. Endurance = reliability. Enough said about that.

i have to disagree.
the m3 is not a detuned race car per se. the m3 in the alms etc is a supertuned street car. the m3 roadcar came out b4 the race cars. so it is the other way around. but you are still right

I knew someone was going to say that. The reason I said detuned was because of the new M3 GTRs. I would have stated it the other way around, but technically as of now, the street inline-6 powered M3 IS a detuned version of the V-8 M3 GTR (which I still feel is unfair for Porsche, not actually producing any road going V-8 powered M3s as mandated by Le Mans guidelines).

But yeah, we know what we mean.

Ah, I see what you are saying... I was thinking of 'detuned' in a different aspect. But I get ya.
