Default 06 M3 vs 99 SS

I'm driving around for a spritual drive ...then I see a friend of mine that I've been wanting to run for a LONG TIME...I smash right past him to let him know wassup ..So he lines it up and heads towards the freeway...So we run em about 4 times...the 2 times we ran em I was in 3rd (I know my power band too)..I'm in 3rd and we both hit it...It was dead ever all the way through 3rd because we caught up to traffic...2nd time I was about a full car on him, but then he got blocked in by traffic...the third and fourth race I was about 1.25-1.5 cars on him...he has a manual too...anyway it was a VERY VERY close race...I know that he kept up with me a lot more than my friend with a 02 SMG M3 did....He sure as hell surprised me!! I did get the WIN, but damn I was surprised...Is my car a slouch or somethin??

M3's are pretty aggressively geared. Good kill.

i beat a SMG one with my brothers, geared/ bolt on 00 GT.

From dead spot i beat him ny 2 cars al the way through 4th gear.

From a roll, he did beat me when i started in 4th, but when we started in 2nd, or 3rd, i beat him, bye at least 1.5 2 cars.

And i murder my bros mustang in any gear, any speed. With my all bolt on LS-1 So make your math.

Maybe 6 speeds are a lot faster than SMG`s??

We also don't know if this SS has full bolt-ons. I can see the exhaust but what else?

M3s have had 330hp for awhile now. Probably more for 06.

However a "spiritual" drive? WTF is that? lol You starting a cult?

I'm sure you mean "spirited". haha

M3s are still E46 bodystyle. The NEW M3s aren't out yet.

They are quick cars. They've even had a few dip into the 12s bone stock. Most of the ones I see run, are usually in the 13.3-13.5 area though.

Quick cars, and the gearing is perfect. They run very well up top. Big step up from the E36 cars in terms of power.

All the stock fbodies running around, are pretty much screwed when the new M3 hits the streets. It's finally got a V8, and it's going to rip...

Yeah the 333 hp M3's run and trap similar to the LS1 F-Bods. It's definitely a driver's race stock for stock. When it comes to modding the LS1 easily wins though. The price for just intake and exhaust on an M3 is outrageous.

Yeah, but at $60k they're not really in the same class anymore. And if they do make a Camaro with LS7 option in the low 40s, you'll be faster for considerably less. Don't get me wrong the M3 is a brilliant car, but MG, their drivers can be real ****** . . . and that's coming from a Vette driver
