I would think that the Camaro would walk away from the M coupe. So I looked up the power and weight of the M coupe and Camaro SS from the last year they were built.

M Coupe:
Weight:  3141 pounds
Power:   315 hp
Weight to power ratio:  9.97:1

Camaro SS:
Weight:  3306 pounds
Power:   325 hp
Weight to power ratio: 10.17:1

Pretty evenly matched. Of course you can get gobs of power out of an LS1 with little money or effort. You can spend gobs of money on an S54 getting a little more power.

By the way, that might be a Z3 coupe in that video. I spent a minute watching trying to determine if it was an M or not, then got terribly bored.

The spec list is nice but the similarities between mine and a standard SS stop at the name plate.

Mine is now at 3100lbs and the old motor was pushing 550hp. It would be like squashing a butterfly with a sledgehammer. Thats why I let my neighbor live his little fantasy. New motor will be closer to 650.

The coupe is a nice car though. I wouldnt mind having one.

Just put some money in the line and race him. Use the money for parts. It would be like taking from the rich (BMW) and giving it to the poor (chevy)! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
