hmm i didnt BEAT the m3.. i ran dead even with him from 60-130mph.. btw this is a random guy off the freeway (he was picking on a brad new DG G.. had to help the guy out ) but yeah I ran even with him.. i was like 8ft from his bumper the whole way so i did not have as much drag as him..

if u re-do your intake and exhaust side with the ability to reflash you might be able to just beat it.

Mods for the M3 are rediculously expensive and the gains are even more rediculous. I'm one of those mod addicts.

I bought this instead and spent $30,000 in mods....LOL:

G35Tex....do you know anyone with an e46 M3? I'd love to see you racing an M3 on Video...I might be considered ignorant after seeing these dyno's and stories, but I just cant believe a G could take on an M3 without FI.

I'd have to see it to believe it.
I have a friend that owns a performance shop that has one. HE is the one I raced. But I won't do it on video do to legal reasons. Many people have gotten caught by videos.

Well, when our cars basically dyno the same they should be pretty equal. And the dyno would show if the car was putting the power down better than my G35 on the #s but it wasn't.
