If they all come stock with 265/30/19 rubberbands then i'm not surprised.

http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/bmw_m3csl.asp

The sidewall wouldn't flex at all on that tire and would spin like a SOB off the line! No sense lowering the psi at the track, I doubt you'd tell the difference LOL! I can't wait to get some real rubber on the back of my stang.


ORIGINAL: Claytone
I have beaten m3's both at the track and on the street, the only place they gain on me is in the top end but out of the hole its murder, and I am by no means a 400hp saleen. get your facts straight buddy, stop living in the world of magazines.

MM&FF ran a 13.37 in a stock '05 GT(on radials), so I guess it's up to driver skill(and the willingness to torture your clutch) that could determine who'd win....I've raced a M3 when I had my '05 GT(now have an '06 GT), but the driver was...how shall I say it? Had more money than talent(driving) and by the time he shifted into 3rd, I was about 3-4 car lengths ahead...although I know better than to say my (old) car was quicker than a M3. btw I believe a GT is only a 100-150 lb. heavier than a M3, that car isn't so light you know.

Androdz, so far the only thing you have said is the M3 is top ten, the M3 is top ten (by an unmentioned source) so you should just go buy yourself an M3, one of the top 10 best cars. Especially considering that it can smoke the S/C Saleen because its top ten right ? It can probably smoke the Ferrari Enzo and Bugatti too because its on the top ten. And it can smoke the Lamborghini Marcielago too and the Gallardo and the Ferrari F430 because its on the top ten and those supercars are not. And about the girls, Stang Skeleton and 05gtdriver are right. M3s are very very common here in southern CA. Its nothing special here, but i guess its something amazing to the girls there.

since when is a m. f1 a production car?? they are different types of saleens as you all should know. Oh and by what magazine?? car and driver, motor trend just to name a few. AI am saying the m3 is a very nice all around car and a very good value. Hell you can do weight reduction of most cars that are in the 13s or 14s and could drop to 12 secs with just 1-2 bolt ons so I dont see where you are going. The stock time for a mustang gt on normal driving conditions if you wanna kill your clutch or powertrain power shift if you want but a stock stang does give or take 13.7-13.9, m3's do 13.1-13.4.

Stop reading magazines! Just because you're on a distant island, don't BS our intelligence.

+1^. mvm549, you should be able to take him and throw him around like a ball on 0-60 and quarter, but on cornering he'll probably have an edge over you.

Distant Island? 2 hours away from florida but ok. As for my intelligence Upenn grad, 3 years. I am talking numbers, I got a mustang gt, and my neighbor has an m3 and both stock for stock he would kill me everytime. The fact is I am not blinded like most of you, what is next can a mustang gt take on a c6 with a good driver? Or can it take on a charger srt-8??? I talk numbers, I can leave the bull**** talking to all of you

Never questioned YOUR intelligence..just the way you seem to think we're idiots for claiming different results...if you can't take, I presume a stock M3, with all the mods you've listed you have on your 'Stang, then I'm sorry you can't win a race against this guy, maybe some drag techniques are in order for you? Yes, P R is a distant island from California.
