from what i have seen and my personal experience its a drivers race with a full bolt on ls1 vs a stock e90/e92 m3 with the edge going to the M3, but dont go from a dig they do have launch control and they take off like a bat outta hell from a dead stop

I was going to mention that feature. I would love to see a dig race between the two.

the op's car should go 12.7 at around 110 give or take a little. The op's car will have more trap speed, a harder launch thanks to the drag radials & auto trans, and he wont have to worry about missing a gear. Plus he is racing a kid who's daddy bought him the car i bet he cant drive all that well. I think the op's car takes the a stock e46 all day even if the m3 has a good driver.

ya a lot would depend on how the kid drives, i would want a unit or a camfordec induction before i would accept the offer. Even then i would not like racing for that kind of money. you dont want to be out $1k because you lost from a broken transmission which migh end up costing you another $2,500.

If thats a new m3 you will loose. I raced one a while back after my camswap and it was a good race. Went from about 40mph roll to 130 and I put about 2cars on him. It was a brand new one with 11k miles and all he did was have a exhaust on it. If he could drive, I don't see see you winning. The car I raced with just a exhaust ran a 12.6 at 113. Im sure stock they're still a 12second car so I would watch it.

So, I was challenged by a guy that works with a girl that I know. Supposedly he has a bone stock M3, that she thinks is a 09 model. Without knowing my mods, he has already asked, overconfidently I might add, that we both throw down $1,000 and race...winner takes all. I looked up some numbers on the car..but I'm looking for real life experiences/opinions, before I throw in that kind of cash.
My mods are in sig.

update:
jcws6-25 and I went and checked out the dude's ride today. Its not the E92 M3. Its the body style before that one. I didn't get to see under the hood or anything, but when I had my girl tell him that I was up for it, he quickly started backing down.
Now he says, that only way he'd race with $1,000 cash on the line...is if I gave him a 7 car length handicap.
Regardless...I'm going meet this guy Sunday night hopefully. I'll just tell him to forget about the cash, and race for fun. Hopefully I can tape it.
