Default How does modded fbody stack up against M series bmw??

I know stock fbody has nothing on them, even bolt on has troubles... but im talking about h/c...

For example, me and my brother were driving in his h/c 99 6spd formula and saw a newer m6 flyby us at about 120mph and here where we started talking, rather than play a game of catch up

Well, my bros car is full bolt on, h/c and puts down 407/370 (mild set up)

How would it (or a typical h/c fbody) stack up against M3, M5, and M6???

It seems that bimmers pack some serious performance in those M cars...

thanx

a stock or lightly modded f-body should be able to take an m3 (E46 body style, not necessarily the current one) new style m5 and m6 have a 500hp v10

h/c should have no problem at all with the e46 m3's as they trap like 108-110 stock. they do respond well to tunes from what i hear. newer stuff i dont even know what they have but i know the 135I or something is a v6 turbo and roll the hell out with minor things done.

im pretty sure its a inline 6 twin turbo, but maybe that was a typo on your part. and both the 335 and 135 have the same engine, but the 135 is lighter, and a little cheaper, pretty bad ***.
