Question 09 m3?

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.

if your ballin like that, do it. if you run him from a dig you should be able to yank him pretty hard, but he will most likely catch you in the top end...say 120+. those are top end monsters.

but then again, anything can happen on the street.

id go get a nitrous kit, not tellem, blow his doors and collect some money.

you have longtubes and a tune basically? do you have a good tire? even from a dig you have you hands full with your mods.

i think you would be very surprised by that m3 (if he can drive).

wrong forum, too... this thread will probably get moved.

I get a lot of BS called But, I raced a 2009 M3 two door auto probably, and i pulled on him ever so slightly to 120 starting from 65 or so. I have full exhaust, lid, and slight tune (added some fuel and air is all). So I would say depends on driver and so on. I also pulled a stock vert cobra when i had a lid and catback is all...so who knows.

seems like they can trap from 110 to 115 haha

You found some bad drivers, both of those cars should have eaten you. Either way the OP should NOT put any cash on it.

There's no maybe about it. A 03-04 Cobra should never... ever trap lower than a mild bolt-on A4 LS1

the e90/e92 m3 is easier to drive to the max unlike our car, even if he's a bad driver.

so don't put cash on the race unless you have nitro ready on your car.

I guess I should have listed my mods than relying on my sig.

LID, Ported TB, LTs, catback, drag radials (hook really well on the streets). I also have a great tune. Never took it to the track. Closest comparison to this car I can give, is that Ive beat a late 90s (?) M5 on numerous runs. I know they weight a bit more though.

I was also thinking about buying a kit real quick, spraying it, and collecting the cash.

Sorry man I had the op's car in my head I'm not trying to call you out either, it's just that with equal drivers and conditions the Cobra should come out on top. But we all know things don't always happen as they should. Again to the OP don't put that kind of money up unless you plan to spray on him.

I gotcha man i know your not trying to call anyone out, but a vert termi isnt that fast in stock form. I'm usually the last person to post up things that dont make sense haha, i could really get you boiled if i told you of a certain 2door audi i pulled lol. oh man i miss scottsdale and az. But now that I'm here in Texas the car scene is nice. I plan to hit up Houston sometime, I'll let you know when I do.

Thanks for the imput guys. I just found out that it may not even be an 09...but an older model. It's for a rich kid, and his father bought him the car. Keep you guys posted.

How much did you put down to the ground OP? Any track times?

The E92 M3's are nothing to take too lightly.
