Default What Will I Need??

To be able to take an E46 M3 (2000-2006) from both a dig and a roll. My car is completely stock except for SLP LMs and it's a manual. I'm a student so funds are limited. What do you guys think?

It would be a good race as it is, but from a dig, throw on a set of 4.10/4.30 gears ($500+ parts and install) and your set. Also an intake ($275) and tuner ($380) would help alot. These cars really jump and wake up with a set of gears and intakes. great bang for the buck mods.

I saw a vid on here some time back of an 06 GT go up against a stock M3. All the GT had was a CAI and a tune. They went from a dig and the Mustang won 2 out of 3 times by like half a car. From a roll you may have a bit more trouble though...

My buddy has a Smg M3, I beat him all the time. I beat him before my mods. I only beat him with theC&L Racer intake and tune. I beat him on rolls too, but they were all close. Now it is complete rape(3-4 cars easily)

It should be even more from a roll... Up until the mustang runs outa 4th gear...

Our cars make 60 more lbs of torque over a broader range than the M3.
