BMW M3
When looking through the back of car mags such as autocar at the performance figures, there are some i think must def be wrong. For example... when comparing the 182 to the V6 thier 30-70 mph times are the same at 5.8secs, but the 182 beats the V6 by 0.4secs from 50-70mph. That just does not make sense???........
But on a more extreme note.... when comparing the 182 to a Aston Martin DB9 (5.9L V12!!!!) the clio beats it from 50-70mph. 182= 8.0secs AM= 8.1 secs
Now i know the element of weight is involved, but the Aston Martin has around 97 bhp per tonne more then the 182 and 273 Ib/ft more torque....... and it has a 5.9L V12!!!!!!
Surely these figures cant be right then or am i just being thick??
There are also many other examples in these mags....
Anyone have any suggestions????.....
