Rathe than wait for a respnse from the blue blood crowd i took a page from my experiences with the Z06 & Ws6..
i picked up a new used Zex for 200 bucks stuck the 65hp jet in.. put on magnaflow dual in dual out with black chrme reactve tips.. New Yoko's and had my exhuast man .. mandrel bend a cutom intake pitewith a nice9 inch K&N with a good air route pickup so its getting alot more ambient than underhood heated air.. those mods cost about $1400 total
and though not tested i'd say this car is running 12's just barely.. from the cars i've romped on even a stock 03 Cobra he was a Non factor.
Now i've made a direct comparison on the M3and LPE Ws6 and i've found that even though the Ws6 is heavier the contact patch and the heavy duty (1le) suspension that a Ws6 comes with.. and with the right rubber.. feels as nimble and crisp( yes don't knock the 1le factory suspension unless you've tried it.. its easily capable of a.92 g skid..Just like a Stock C5 Vette).. for a moment i though it wouldn't be the case.. but surprisingly i find that the old live axle setup is a viable contender.
thanks though for the help.. now i'll work on the suspension next week.. gotta fly
Ps.. it wonderful working with the different engineering aspects of the respective Countries car.. there is no question the M3 commands an authoratative Build feel.. thats unlike ( not necessarily better) the American Hi-po sports cars.. hence i did do the M3 / Ws6 handling test back to back

Since i didn't get anyresponses.. fromm M3profesional.. i used muy own simple mod sequence... Blue Blod is a reference to the rich..
remember i'm Itlain from birth.. and althoguh i dohave engneering degree and a high IQ....
I'm tallking about a toal handler.. with likely 12 second striagt line times.. a deadly combination...
and i did do a comparison.. with LPE Ws6.. and handling wise American sport / Muscle car have more to offer than the jap and Geman ;lovers think.. try a 92 skid with a 3419 lbs car.. with( obviosly modified.... a 51/ 49 balance and super stiff chassis..
thats what i'm talking about
the M3 crowd seem very unfriendly.. so be it.. i don't need their help.. i've studied in recent days Dinaan suggustions.. and though i may not buy rom them.. i get the picture
does that Help BBB????
Please don't tell me you don't know LPE
excuse my spellinf errors.. again i'm Italian born

Of course American Muscle has more to offer, everyone knows that the Mustang has been the performance bargain of the last two decades! The Z06 has 1.0 G on the Skidpad and almost 400 hp! Same with the Cobra R...and they both cost under $55,000!
Sorry I didn't understand you before. :iceslolan
