Who's M3 beater

wozza-vrs · 30-09-2007, 18:31

Just found a video clip of a chipped vrs against M3 and Accord Type R. the vrs one just but surely that is impossible????? Sorry if everyone has seen the clip before.

YouTube - Accord type-R vs power up Fabia rs vs M3

oilburninnut · 30-09-2007, 19:18

it is not a derv burner so i would suppose anything is possible,especially if it is sporting the 2.0l lump,it took them like a king

vRSLen · 30-09-2007, 19:18

Nice one

JMC · 30-09-2007, 19:20

Against the M3, I reckon a chipped one would stand a chance. I had someone in front of me today who was trying to leave me in his dust but he couldn't do it - mine is standard.

Maybe I'm wrong but it looks a little more than just chipped.... Looks like a Devonutopia jobbie from here....

Now, if we're talking about the 2.0l ... things might be different.

jabba_luke · 01-10-2007, 09:29

But what if the M3 turns off his traction control as well?

Is that the key to beating an M3?

Fezboy · 01-10-2007, 10:45

That BMw looks like a 1.1 with an M3 body kit to me

an M3 of that age does 0-60 in either 5.3 or 5.8 depending on spec so it would take quite a fabia to beat it, not just a remapped one.

A remapped fabia will not keep with an M3 IF its driven right, my octavia could not keep with an M3 when i tried and he was trying and a Fabia couldn't keep with me when he was trying.

bengie · 01-10-2007, 11:39

strange how this fabia can't keep with a 325

its barely faster than a 320i

must be broken.

Seeing as we're in the mood for posting video of Fabia drag races:

Neither of those Octavias will stick with an M3.

Its more likely to sufficate the M3's engine with a side exit zorst. Rather than a rear one anyway. I think that is the key.

Cut off the M3's oxygen supply then it cant go anywhere.

Shaun L · 01-10-2007, 12:21

M3 must have got a bad start

Shaun

Snoopie · 01-10-2007, 12:38

Or it wasn't an M3

seano47 · 01-10-2007, 12:58

i dont think how much you tune a diesel imo a petrol engine will always be quicker due to the fact its got a larger power band i.e. lets say our furbys are dead after 3.5k tops but a petrol engine will have power till lets say 7250k revs but rolling i think is a different matter as we have power low down so were always good to go

Snoopie · 01-10-2007, 13:35

Yeah, then straight away after the torque curve runs out of bang, petrols pull away.
