924's are like mid 15 second cars. the current m3 in auto is faster then 6 speed ( most of the time ) those are low 13 second cars trapping around 107mph. in other words, the m3 can be 2 gears higher then it should be and still smoke that porsche.

He'd definitely have to have something serious to be smoking E46 M3's...

Either that, the M3 wasnt racing, or he's total BS

Exactamundo. I'm betting on the M3 not racing. Even a heavily modded 924 turbo would have a tough time against a stock E46 M3.

E46 M3 (us spec)-
333hp
262lb-ft
~3,400lbs
1/4 mile in ~13.1 secs
0-60 in 4.8
SMG Transmission is usually faster then anything, including Ferrari's Sequential transmission.

Even an E36 M3 should be able to pull on an 87' 924s.
