The 320i's aren't that fast w/ 168 horses they do 0-100km/h in about 8.7secs. Also if it's an auto it'll be even slower.

Maybe not, but they are faster than the Civic coupe. I don't care how you argue it, 170hp compared to the Civic's 130hp (+/-), it shouldn't even be a race. But, with 3 people vs. only 1, and if it was an auto, then yeah I could see it.

Really? Gee, didn't realize the the civic was a 17 second car....


318i = low/mid 16 second car (manual)
323i = high 15 second car (manual)
325iS = high15/low16 second car (manual)
328i = mid/high 15 second car (manual)

Throw a slushbox in any one of these and watch the times go up....

Now, sounds like no matter how you argue it, hp means jack by itself. There's many other factors to consider. Don't just spew BS, and assume a 130hp civic is slower than a 170hp 3 series.

Having to make excuses in front of girlfriend, male friend = pathetic.

I miss racing, it's been so icy/snowy that I haven't been able to race for months! Stupid climate.

Keep up the good work.
