Ok a friend of mine'* parents just got a 300m and he was wantin to race me b/c he has 250hp? I thought it would be a pretty good race..but obviously it hasn't occured yet due to the snow. What do you guys think i am up against..? Any obvious pros and cons, b/c the horsepower are within 10 of eachther, but i have a supercharger so i dunno. Let'* hear the comments..

Torque. You have him. There'* a link from Pontiacs website to the runoff between a few sedans. The 300M is one of them. The SSEi beat it in almost every category...handling, braking, performance, etc.

Last link in the Bonneville section.

Wow, thanks guys..so much help. Where would i be without ya

It will be a very close race, I'll tell you that.

Horsepower means nothing in short street races like this. It'* all about the torque and at what RPM its used.

Easy Kill! Your 96 is nearly a second faster 0-60 than the 300M. I think the difference dimishes a little down the quarter mile because the 300M makes a little more power up top, but you've got him easy. Those 232- 253hp 3.5 Chryslers are only slightly faster than the 205hp Series II. You might want to put some money on it.

WIth the */C Your powerband is wider. You will easily win.

Thanks for that info bec I been wantin to run one too. I was a lil skeptical bec I thought the horsepower was part of the name. 300M. I want to race every car that I have considered getting. 300M, Q45, Maxima (already got spanked by one or 2), Seville and Eldorado.

I wold go with the Q45. Screw the rest .
