The M3 does slide nicely. Here's yours truely trying to get sideways. First time driving Fanman's 996 and owned the M3. Enjoy. It gets better starting the middle.

Ask me how to replace M3 rear tires in 8K miles.

 

overall driving experience, you cant compare a porsche to anything else, but i think that i enjoy driving my m3 more than my turbo

 

Exactly what i pointed out on E46, in here and to Chris at HPF, i feel they should look beyond the tremendous power they CAN MAKE, and make a setup alot safer before going stg 2 with building up internals.

As i sad i wish them luck, but its going to suck to see people complaining left and right they they blew their motor for w/e reason and its because of this kit

 

Exactly and why i love the M3 so much, its so much damm fun its not even funny. The way the back end kicks out whenever you want it too and the fact that you can control it with ease, fun driver's car. The TT is more down to business, does it all with perfection.

 

haha i could have basically quoted my own post from illm3

 

+1 For you.

 

Gee crazy1232 it would almost soundas if you were "paid" to make this post LOL

 

I love M3's.

But I love the semi-monthly "modded M3's can kick modded 996tt's asses" posts even better! Always fun . . .

 

God Damn Alex that was funny... Silver package here at Christmas even... Man you are going to be busy with everyone trying to call you out!!

 

The 650+ rwhp pulls were done on C16. HPF stated they would be running about 500rwhp on street gas (lower boost/less timing).

The S54 *should* be able to handle 500rwhp on an on-going basis. The older M50/S50 motors in the E36 models are now putting out "Supra-like" numbers, many on stock bottom ends with head spacers. The S54 is built stronger plus has a much better head design.

Another point, since BMW had many engines replaced during the rod bearing fiasco, they significanly lowered the price of a remanf. S54 long block to around $8000.

HPF stated they were going to push the engine as far as it will go on the stock bottom end, so I guess we'll see its limit soon enough.

 

Just shows to prove that Porsche sets the standards that every other car tries to beat. "There is no substitute."

 

That's not what he told me, he was going for over 700 hp+ running on pump all of the time, not seeing what it can do for a few pulls on the dyno!

"Stage 1 will probably be called "HPF 800" because that's what it will be making (in bhp). Stage 2 will probably be called the "HPF 1000". Stage 2 will include pistons / rods and a few other goodies and will easily make 1000bhp. "

And yes the E46 internals people really dont even know, that the internals are like double the size of the E36's, but we'll see!

 

Interesting. I've been following the thread on bimmerforums and swore he stated they were doing these runs on C16 to see where the limits of the S54 were but they were going to turn down the boost/timing to a "safe" 500rwhp on pump gas.

Either way, just glad to see a company developing a quality kit for the car.

 

You can ask me the same question

 

Hey maybe he changed his mind, but that is directly what he told ME It would be smart if he had a race mode and pump, otherwise its way too much!
