Default 97 corvette vs 04 M3 smg what am I against?

so a friend of my cousin got a 04 M3 smg about a year ago and has been beating some quick cars, he claims to have only bolt one and not many.

i just picked up a 97 c5 6 speed only mods are vararam and corsa catback the quiet one.

do I have any chance against him? my cousin was saying he does something like hard shift mode? on that smg and it kicks hard.

I want to run him this weekend at night 50-120

his buddy has a 06 STI with a few mods and he want to run as well he has a 5-6 speed.

what do u guys think?

I think both cars will be close mine has over 100K on it.

You're up against Jason and his Ban Stick.

I'll give you my two cents when this is in the right section, if you'd like.

You'll own him good. You have solid mid range torque. If you were in a camaro I'd be worried. What is his "1" mod? My prediction is 3-4+ cars.

Cheese and Rice! Guys read the stickies! How many times do I have to type this....? Moving to Bench Racing. 1 day ban to boot.

Thanks Pony.

Guys, just read the stickies.

That being said, I think the M3 will be close but I would put money on you.

^^^ well he does drive fords so how much can he know to begin with? Lol i am just kidding

I am under the impression that the only thing that is different is that the transmission is a super fast shifting auto transmission. In that case I think the op will have no problems pulling the bmw.

E46 M3s can trap in the 106-108mph range stock, so he'll be up your *** for sure. But I still think you'll pull him up top.

Could you elaborate on that one for me? I'm curious to know how 104 Octane on a stock tune, stock car will help.

GM's tunes must be COMPLETELY different than Fords.

ya that ford that you sold looked nasty, i love any car that can deliver. I could care less who makes it for the most part. I am not brand loyal but it is fun to be brand loyal sometimes just for fun.

were those 315's or 275 dr's on the cobra? I would bet you regret selling it.
