My friend Alex has a R32 with some minor work done to it ( Revo Chip, Custom Exhaust, Intake, H&R Sports, Sway bars...etc) I Have a 318ti with a DASC, Bosal Exhaust and thats pretty much all for hp mods. We have raced several times before, From a stop I can't touch the R32 he is all wheel drive and he is out (he just dumps it at 4 grand). From a roll in first we are dead even. From a roll at about 40 i put like 2 cars on him. We race on the highway I start in fourth and he starts in 5th ( he always starts a gear higher than me from some reason) I pull on him until i need to go into 5th( his 5th takes him to 130-140 mph). The R32 is really hard to get a dead stop, its not meant to go in straight lines thought it's a rally car.
We'll those are my experiences with a R32. __________________

I saw a comparisson between the M3 and the R32 on an ebay charity auction and sadly the R32 did better on some of the test like the 1/4 mile but when it came to the slalom the M3 ate him up. also braking was one of the test the M3 was better at. They are apples and oranges and you really can't compare the two. | | | | | 06-13-2006, 08:05 PM | #25 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa Posts: 2,110 |
I dont think he wants to know about who will do better on the track. Street Racer here wants to know who will be the first to get arrested or hit someone on the street. R32 wins. __________________
