Vs Fifth gear: M3 ZCP vs C63 Performance package

[330CIZHP]

Tiff and Jason Plateau put the two cars through their paces. Why no points for straight line acceleration?

I wanna win that E46 M3!!!! Damn.

As for the 'test'....fun, expected. Both are great in what they do.

Apparently, he got fired from "TopGear" for revealing his identity (much like, the first black costume Stig was. History repeating itself).

Thanks 330CI - I love watching those two "kids". Sure, it's not as slick and professional as a TopGear insert but it's a helluva lot more fun and man, can those two frikken drive!

Both are gorgeous cars. Like I said in another thread: I'd have both if I could - C63 AMG wagon and M3 ZCP coupe. Best of both worlds...

Stand up for the winner... Quite simply the track authority!!

The best description of these two cars that I have ever heard. I think I'll use that one at some point.

I agree, the C63 is more of the classic muscle car, the brute.

Because the AMG would win that contest and Tiff would have to say sorry again, like he did when he awarded the AMG the win in the drifting contest

PS. Ben Collins should have kept the helmet on, he has zero charisma.

 

[Mr Robert]

...no, no points because it is boring

So, the normal M3 drifts better than the one with competition package. Is that true?
They said that the reason is the use of a very limited slip differential in the competition package.

I don't think the diff is different between standard and comp pack, so it has to be the other tweaks like the suspension, rim+rubber combination or DSC, though I doubt they had it on.

One thing for sure, the M3 wins on finesse but the Merc wins on noise, that thing is a beast.
