G35c vs M3

Hey im probably getting a 2003 G35c soon.. i have an incredible deal on it

anyway i was wondering what i can do to the car to accelerate better then the BMW M3 E46

M3 E46 - 0-60 4.7-4-8sec, 1/4 13.2-13.4 secs have seen 12.87
333hp 3.2L inline-6 naturally aspired... redline 7,950.. dinan chip 8,150 some higher..

I want to use Stillen if possible because of the warrenty they offer..

and how much can i saftley raise the redline on the G too..

thank you!!! i just wana crush all my friends.. my dad already has a m3 put away for fun driving so dont tell me "just get the m3" i just want that to be the bench mark i want to compete with..

thanks alot!!

you can put on every bolt on stillen part made and a m3 will still outrun you unless you went with the stillen stage 3 supercharger. then you could keep up.
but its not all about beating an m3. there are better things in life. like getting such a big lead against a acura rsx after he was 3 car lenths ahead of you that you can cut him off. especially when the driver is a little punk kid that believed SKYLINE on the back of my car meant it was special order from japan and had to be modified to be street legal! lol

Not being an a$$, just informing you that an engine is naturally aspirated not naturally aspired.

Anyway, to answer your question I guess I will just repeat what others have said. You will need to go with the Stillen Supercharger. I don't think you'll need to go Stage 3 (which is not warrantied), Stage 2 should do the trick. Especially if you add an exhaust and hi-flow cats. If you do that you should have no problem hanging with an M3 considering you'll be around 330hp at the wheels (roughly 390hp at the crank) compared to the M3's 333hp at the crank. Then again if you believe Road&Track, the M3 will still be faster.

Honestly, for that much money, just get a C6 vette and you will embarrass an M3. The G35 isn't the best car for modifications. If you want a sedan, an STi will also put a serious hurting on an M3 with minimum modifications. If you want luxury, a stage 2 IS300 will be cheaper than an FI G35 and will smoke both the M3 and G35 FI.

More HP at the crank means abolsutely NOTHING! Still is garbage end of story, i already posted up the test results of the Stillen supercharger stage 2 and the Greddy TT from "Speed R&T" and they got

Stillen: 0-60 5.1 and 1/4 mile 13.6
Greddy TT 0-60 5.3 1/4 mile 13.4

Not impressive to me at all, now if you go Vortech or with a major TT kit and its tuned right, you will be edging out M3's and can beat them, it will in no way murder them! Also my friend with his Sti with intake, exhaust, accutek chip from 14lbs of boost stock to 18 and Greddy BOV i beat him in My M last night by car and a half 2 till about 120, they are FAST but still need a considerable amount of stuff done to be ripping M3's, M5's and other cars!
