If it was the newer ones they could run pretty well against a stock C5. A good driver has will get the Dinan in the 12's consistantly. Im pretty sure its just intake, TB, exhaust and some computer tuning that happens, but it keeps the factory warranty...pretty sweet.

Sounds about right man.....I ran a 2002'ish M3 in my goat from about 75-145 and just left him for dead. Posted it somewhere here in the kill section.
