E92 is a great car, but it is not lightweight. E92, with only removing interior&seats&battery, you would achieve around 100kg reduction max, which still puts at 1500kg range. It is possible to bring the weight down to 1300kg range, but it does take a ton of money, which is why I consider buying a stock one for a GT cruiser and light touge use.
PW ratio is a reference to straight line acceleration (not top speed,) and below are some of the reference data.
E92 M3 coupe 6MT no EDC, no option: 420hp (euro)/ 1655kg = 0.254
E30 M3 Evo II: 235hp/1200kg = 0.196
E36 M3 96+: 321hp/1460kg = 0.220
R32: 280 (limited) or 320 (limit removed) /1400kg =0.228
R33: 280 (limited) 330 or or 400 (nismo) / 1500kg =0.187 or 0.22 or 0.266
R34: 330 stock or 450 (nismo) / 1500kg = 0.22 or 0.3
Integra Type R: 200 / 1145 = 0.175
EVO 8: FQ400 (400hp)/ 1410kg=0.284
With weight around 1200-1400kg, you can take a different line around the tight hairpins compared to cars in 1500kg+. I have yet to see an E92 outrun slightly modified E36 (bilstein, bucket seats) on F1 circuits around here. |
It looks like you've got too much time on your hands mate, to type all this info for us, thanks for that, but deal breaker was the last bit, slightly modified e36 is better than e92?????
How about 7.27 around Nurburgring in e92 M3, I didn't see e36 beat that....
