My e46 m3 is not supercharged. I raced some guy in a 996 "ruf" turbo (a 996 turbo with ruf badging and bodykit i dont know what performance mods it had) from a 0 - 120 run. I had 2 passengers in my m3 and he was by himself with racing seats, not the standard TT seats. From 0 - 120, he only beat me by 1.5 car lengths.
Just for comparison sake, i ran a friend in an AA stg 2 s/c'd e46 with a 300 pound stereo system from a 1st gear roll to 120 and he only started to pull away in the top of third into 4th gear. At 120 he was only 2 CLs ahead and i had a passenger while he was by himself. Furthermore, after a bit more tuning and some spray he ended up dynoing the highest numbers of any m3 in the world. He hadnt run the 1/4 so i dont know what the car wouldnt run, but i think it put down somethign ridiculouis like 550RWHP. Our race was just the stg 2 s/c with the system in the car w/o spray before it got retuned for the spray however.
Not going to argue with you, but the m3 is extremely fast. If you dont think a modded m3 (driven properly) cant take a stock 997S, youre mistaken. If you'd like, come down to my area and ill be glad to run you
. I didnt read what mods THAT particular M3 had, but i know i will beat any stock 997S out there. You have a certain reputation on m3 forums, please dont bring that reputation over here.

I jsut read his first post. Just so my words dont get twisted, I will not make the claim that any m3 short of FI could come anywhere close to an m6, unless its in 400hp mode and not 500hp mode. If he thinks he beat a m6 in m sport mode, hes on some serious mind altering drug. I finally got to drive the m6 about a week ago. It is MUCH MUCH faster than the m5. THe m6 is so much faster than the m3, its absolutely ridiculous.

We reproduced the run MULTIPLE TIMES 1st gear roll to 120, 2nd gear roll to 120 MULTIPLE TIMES on different days so heat soak wasnt an issue and the results were the same each time. DOnt get me wrong anything after that he would pull on me like i wasnt even moving. But who really goes over that speed anyway.

right,... well... you know what. I'm not going to argue with you.. obviously you have some sort of issue with this. I had another passenger in my car for these runs and i can assure you that they arent bogus. I was told that you "took" his nitrous info that he gave you and instead of having it done per his instructions, you decided to do it with another company/installer. If you know him so well, why dont you ask him if the runs were bogus. I'm done, ive said my piece. Obviously, i know how fast these cars are since i drive them everyday. I really hope you can read properly and you can understand that I'm saying i still lost! I'm jsut sayign that a 997S is not ungodly fast and m3s are reasonably quick, thats all.

Adam and I have our differences now, thats between him and I. Why are you involved now?
You drive a 997s, M3, and SC M3 everyday? Honestly you have no chance against a good driven 997S. Its just the facts, the porsche makes more power. But your car is just a freak right it loses by 2 cars to a car making 180whp (SC M3) more.
Let me get this straight, you own all those cars in your sig?
GT2
E55
H2
H1
M3
M3
