BMWCAR April 2004 - CSL v M3
 

Nice little article comparing the CSL to the M3. As always, the CSL comes out on top - but the M3 didn't have Cups. I would like to see this comparison done one day!

I have hi-res scans if anyone wants them, just send a pm and I'll forward.

M3 didnt have an airbox either.....maybe we could swap that as well :)

I envisage a new cutters thread if you can do the honours Rick :thumbs:

already on it pal. added it to the current thread that is going on.

Absolutely yeh, but the normal attack on these comparisons is aimed at the tyres and how the cars would compare on similar rubber.

This was an ideal chance to bury that argument, for example saying that with cups on both cars, the gap went down to three or four seconds so the tyres play a part - but the rest IS the car.

Just swapping across the wheels and re-doing the lap would have made an interesting comparison too.

:-D

This is page 1.

Thanks for the article. Never seen this one.!!

Good article I haven't seen that one. I have chirped in on cutters, unfortunately they don't seem to do irony :hahaha:

I'd like a copy please Rick, just so I know how far behind you lot I should be :-D
