Default M3's anyone?

Has anyone played with newer model M3's. Now, if ya got some crazy, sick fast car....not interested. Looking for mildly modded or even stock 11-12 Mustang GT's???

Post up... I'm interested. I have played with 2 but never really got to get a good square run on either.

I have raced a couple, and i'm making just about as much power as a full bolt-on 11-12. It wasn't even a contest for me it almost looked like the guy forgot to go. Modded 5.0's should be looking more towards CTS-v's and such (if the CTS-V is automatic i believe they only make about 450HP at the wheels).

I played with one, i seemed to be pulling on him but we didn't get a clean run in and I was pretty sure he was modded (atleast exhaust) I was only cai+tune at the time. I actually had my grandmother and 15 year old cousin in the car with me. I thought it was kind of funny.

An exhaust should Yield minimal gains for them. Anything short of a centri won't do anything seeing as how they're so optimized from the factory.

Lol it would be funny to lose a race with someone and look over to see a grandma

Not sure what you guys are basing things on, but I played with one at the track a couple weeks ago. 1st run he ran 12.7 at 114 to my 12.4 111, second run he went 12.3 at 116 to my 12.2 at 114. I've got at least one vid that I'll post up. On my phone now, or I would go ahead and do it. His car had no bolt ons. Assuming it was tune only unless he was hiding something, which is doubtful due to the 30 day tags, lol.

I didn't get a chance to play from a stop or even a slow roll. All runs were 60+ mph

From what I experienced, my SS was destroying him the first 1/8th mile, but I couldnt touch that M3's top end.

They are very fast cars and generally run identically with stock 2011+ Mustangs. I don't think anybody has said otherwise.
