they are in the SAME CLASS...

3.0L to 3.5L 6 cylinders... i know a V6 and an I-6 act differently on making power... but they are int he same class for motors

333hp and 262 lb/ft out of a 3.2L

Acura would be 290hp out of a 3.2L and a dismal 224 lb/ft of torque...

So nice try... BMW was producing this motor the same as it is produced today back in 1994... BMW makes the best NA 6 cylinders hands down... there is NO ARGUEMENT for that...

And as for suspension... 1100 dollars Full front and rear coilovers, about 800 dollars gets me solid bushing for the rear subframe, front and rear control arms etc... give me a break...

i-6/V-6, the car may be the same class but the engine is not...from a racing stand point anyways. Just like the S2000 is normally classed with Corvettes. Speaking of racing, we have $1,000 in EACH corner of the del slo's, not including the bushings or adjustable control arms ;) This all boils down to a Honda vs. BMW dispute, still up for a challenge at Road Atlanta? Go ahead and dump $30k into an M3 and see if it will still keep up with our little honda's ;)
The challenge was presented and video taped Saturday night, i think the quote was, "My honda will eat your BMW for breakfast" :D

Interesting... LOL
