SOULJHA

HI im new just bought a aristo twin turbo, does ne 1 know what bhp these are and what the 0-60 times are? cheers i advance

JAC JZS

The Aristo v300 has 280ps(276hp) & 332 lb/ft. It weighs 3703 lbs stock.

SOULJHA

I THOUGHT THE SUPRA TWIN TURBO ENGINES WHERE 326 BHP STANDARD, SO SHOULDNT THE V300 BE THE SAME, I JUST WANNA KNOW IF ITLL KANE AN M3 3.0 LITRE? NE 1 PLS

JAC JZS

NOPE!!!! THE ARISTO V300 HAS 276 BHP AND SO DOES THE SUPRA. THE # YOU ARE USING MAY BE A GROSS POWER MEASUREMENT WHICH IS NOT USED BY MANY PEOPLE ANYMORE DUE TO IT'S INACCURACIES IN MEASURING POWER. THE M3 3.0(EURO SPEC-286 HP) DOES 0-60 IN AROUND 5.4 SECONDS WITH AN EXPERT DRIVER. A RACE BETWEEN A V300 AND A M3 3.0 WITH AN AVERAGE DRIVER WOULD BE PRETTY CLOSE BUT IF YOU ARE DRIVING THE V300 I WOULD DEFINITELY SAY YOU WILL LOSE.

Even my 430 can beat M3 (not the latest one) in straight line.

RacingAristo, SOULJHA is talking about the Euro Spec M3 3.0(1993-1995). This car had 286hp stock. At the end of 1995 the new 1996 model was introduced with a larger displacement (3.2 from 3.0 Liter), and horsepower went from 286 to 321. America got a detuned(actually a little more complicated but I'll keep it simple) version of the 3.2l Euro spec M3 which had 240 hp, so as you can see the Euro models were much faster

Actualy, euro-spec M-3 was only 0.1-0.2 sec. faster 0-60 (??)

JAC JZS

The M3 Euro Spec 3.0-285hp(93-95) was .3 faster to 60 than the U.S. M3 3.2.(which is quoted by BMW to do 0-60 in 5.7) The Euro Spec M3 3.2-321hp did 0-60 in around 5.3s(.4 faster than the American M-3 3.2). The reason why the Euro models did not go soo much faster than their American counterparts(even though they had more horsepower) was because the Euro M3 models used a TRUE M-ENGINE which produced a lot more hp then the American M3 Engine(which was not a true M-Engine rather a 325/328 engine with slightly raised displacement) but also weighed a lot more than the U.S M3 engine . So although Euro M3's had more power they also carried a lot more weight(230lbs).

SOULJHA- when your racing that m3 - don't punk out when you hit about 90kmh and your car takes off- and don't sweat the line and all those stats (.3 of this bhp of that- blahblahblah) just don't let off the gas and don't punk out.

I would like to see a stock v300 beat a stock Euro spec M3 Come on Nate let's be realistic. The M3 Euro has more hp than the v300 and weighs 485 lbs less. Now if SOULJHA just does some slight/ cheap BPU's he could be eating M3's+ all day.

SC300T

No doubt, BPU would be the way to go. Its like leaving cash on the table at the Casino. You spend $40+k on a car, why not spend another $1500 on an intake boost controller, BCC and exhaust? You'll pickup an easy 75-100rwhp. Invest a little and shred those BMW f@gs.

NateInJapan

I guess cause I got all those things- I don't care if it's a 300ZX fairlady or Skyline gt-R (or even a M3- although I don't see many of them over here that are street racing), if they want to get down- my baby get's nasty....

BTW- Anyone know anybody looking for a few JDM parts??

Japanese Supra TTs and V300s have about 276hp, and US-spec Supra TTs have about 320hp. They restrict the exhaust alot to keep the Supra and Aristo at 280hp, the legal limit.

Why you worry about killing M3? With some mods to the V300 you can kill pretty much most cars on the street (considering what Supra TT is capable of.)
