Yep I had a cocky dude in an M5 just sure he could take a 4000lb. Cobra. We bet $100.00 and run 2 1/2 miles to the next exit. It was a cruise night. I would say I got him by a little over a mile. I actually let off so we could still see him.
I didn't even program to the KB race tune. No need. On 106 octaine and race program the car puts down over 840rwhp.

i raced one a couple weekends ago with a full car. he was in a vert with his lady, i had 3 passengers. all the girls in the back probably had a combined weight of 300lbs though. yeah, that M3 got raped. it wasn't a new one.

e39 m5, 394bhp, 0-60 in 4.9s and the 1/4mi in about 13.3. It is essentially identical in performance to an e46 m3, which is being discussed in this thread. Both ought to beat a stock s197, but not by much and not necessarily when from a dig. They are a perfect match for a cai/tune in a straight line, and springs/shocks/sways in the corners.

I don't think they made a convertable m3. It was probably just a 3 series.
