The E36 M3 should be able to take it. The new E46 M3 will be able to beat it, no problem.
Um lol, speak english.
Are you saying the 3 series wasn't designed to handle well? Hmmm.. OK. What do you mean by "they must have added so many things to be able to compete"?
The M is based on the 328 chassis.. which is the same as the 325. They all have well tuned suspension and good weight distribution, the 325 should weigh a LOT LESS than the Audi also, which matters a lot on a course.
Um, why did you even bring up the E46 M3? 1996 AUDI.. NOT the new chassis or engine/AWD system. The E46 M3 competes with 911 Turbos on the track..
An E36 M3 would totally RAPE a 1996 A6 2.8 for a million reasons. Power, suspension, weight, weight distribution, brakes, etc etc etc.. A NEW m3 would be slaughter.
