IROC vs M3

Hey I'm curious. Would my '87 IROC stand a chance against a '93 or '95 BMW M3?

IROC: 305 TPI w/ LT1 came, ford 19lbers, cut air boxes
700r4 and 3.27 gears. (if it makes a difference it shifts at like 5000rpm)


M3: Inline 6, manual tranny.....pure stock except the stickers on the back window

I found this on a web site about the M3

Performance (1.8L/2.8L/3.0L w/5spd manual)

0-60mph: 8.7 / 7.0 / 5.8 seconds
1/4 mile: 16.8 / 15.0 / 14.4 seconds
Top Speed: 123 / 128 / 137mph (limited)

Title of the site says its for 92-98 M3s.
If you want to see the site it's <http://www.vmrintl.com/Usedcars/Car%...ries_92-98.htm> I got the info from the bottom of the page.

laf, you're insane. an E36 is only good for high 14s low 15s. they are slow, but that's gotta be enough comp for a 305
