G-Lader 0 Posted March 25, 2005 the 323's r not that quick to 60, think your mag may be wrong..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shilakadaddy 0 Posted March 25, 2005 I've had a little race with a 328 and there didn't seem to be anything in it (although if anything he was a tiny bit faster) either way, a 323 shouldn't give a tuned G60 much hassle.. (whats the spec of your car?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G-Lader 0 Posted March 25, 2005 I found the 323 (in the m plate saloon shape) r pretty even with a Std Mk2 16v off the line through the gears upto 80 odd, suspect they would pull away after that though so a C g60 should beat it once rolling....... IIRC the Coupe's are a tad quicker..... I used to drive a new shape 325 ci coupe with the sport extras on odd occasions for work and they dont seem as quick as the 7 odd secounds to 60 that they r because they r soo smooth......

swfblade 0 Posted March 25, 2005 the 323's r not that quick to 60, think your mag may be wrong.....My apologies, i copyied the wrong one......its 0-60 is 7.7, top speed 143.
