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.

Yes my car is a sleeper. haha

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.

wut did u do to that saturn? also are u running the ecotec motor in that? my friend has teh new ion...its quick, but u can tell it loses power towards the top of the powerband, that was when it was stock, once he opened up the flow via intake and exhaust and some headers he got more of a kick up top

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.

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.

Are you sure a e46 cant touch a camaro? Not really into camaros but sad to say I have a 1986 :-/

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.
