If you want to be fair you must equivocate cost/hp to hp/liter efficiency. Which the supra wins hands down. But go ahead and buy your 70,000 dollar car. I will meet you at the track. We will see who wins. And then after you hand over your pink slip I will be 70,000dollars richer even though I warned you. Im sorry but in my opinion comparing a bmw to a supra is just stupidity. Look at the cars that are making impressive numbers at the track. However, if you are that stuck on the e46 then its your loss.

Just a side note I raced a e46 on the freeway with my 96 saturn sc2 with about 200whp and just incinerated it all day. BMW's are just bad whack jobs. Now if you really want a nice german performance car go with porsche.

I tell you what. I can assure you it goes far past 99mph. I was hitting a buck 40 on the 5 South here in so cal in camp pendleton area. By that time I couldnt even see the BMW's lights. Also depending on the tranny setup and motor. Now the SOHC with a MP2 tranny auto will go about 105 I beleive but a manual MP2 with a DOHC is the best setup which I have with a quaife diff. A matter of fact if you dont beleive me I can send you a link of my saturn from cardomain.

Stock ones make around 124hp with 100tq @ 2300pds. After I got done with my first setup making around 200whp @ 2100pds I can assure you it was one very quick car. When you can beat SS or Z28 camaros on the freeway in a 4banger you are considered to be very fast. haha And e46's cant even touch camaros on the freeway.

No ecotecs came in the ION. I have the SC series. The stock motors are 1.9L the ecotecs are 2.2L. I left the motor stock and turboed it with a t3/t4 48 A/R. It was a cheap turbo kit and a cheap setup but it worked. Now this is what I am doing. The pics arent all up yet but the text is.

There will tell you everything. The gauges alone are over 2grand. haha

O no problem. Well its more of a sentimental value mixed in with potential. It was my first car I ever owned. And when it was stock it suprised me very much on how fast it is. And I decided since it gave me such good performance that I would also appreciate it by fixing her up to be insanely nice and fast. And not to mention its never been done before on a saturn like mine. So it will literally be the first.

Well 86 camaros are slow considering i beat one in my stock satty. I am talking about the newer ones. The ones making around 300whp. I have no doubt an e46 can beat a 86.
