Did some runs against my friends stock M3. I've got Flowmaster 40 mufflers, K&N FIPK, and a Diablo Tune in an '03 Mustang GT Convertible. From a 40 roll in 2nd, we were dead even. From a 60 roll in 3rd, I fell behind but pulled ahead when he shifted into 4th. Didn't get a proper test from 1st, I spun my tires and he got a good launch. Let you know what happens when we get a good 1st gear run (as in, when it's in my favor). Just thought I'd let you guys know what it take.

Good races,

one tried to race me up a hill yesterday. im guessing it was an 05 or so with the 333hp engine. that thing was screaming and i just droped it into 3rd and pulled him. i was suprised as well.

are they really heavy or somethin...cause 333 is quite a bit more power then these NA 2v are makin and i always see then runnin low 14s...not calling BS at all, just wondering

Yep, they make 333 hp, at 7900 rpm's, but only make 262 lb-ft of torque. According to this source anyway http://allworldcars.com/wordpress/?p=544

I owned an M3. They can run low-mid 13's with a decent driver. I ran my 2003 M3 DINAN @ 12.8 stock. They should beat moddified 2V's, and even stock 3V's, from rolls or digs.

E46 M3 are fast. I don't know how a gt with bolt ons is capable of beating a stock M3.

Sorry, he was a 1999 E36 M3 so the older version. Him and I are in a power war. Even though he has about 20 hp less than a 03 gt mustang, he's about 1000lbs. lighter and those germans get that power to the wheels pretty good with its inline 6 engine. I know I wouldn't stand a chance against the newer M3's.

those german sure know how to build cars.
take the 911 for example.
they are wicked fast.
stock 911 has about 300 hp but run 0-60 in sub 5 sec.

I believe the E46 M3's trapped 105-106 stock and capable of low 13s....

Makes alot more sencein theracesthat he was in the E36 compared to a E46...
