yeah cobra lost, but look what it cost to get the M3 to be that fast vs what it cost the cobra to be fast...
Termis aren't great cuz they just win all the time.
they are great cuz it doesn't take a whole crap load of money to make them fast as hell.
Like others have said, put $16k into a cobra...
And how much more does an M3 run msrp or used?
Yeah thats the point here. High dollar car with ever higher dollar mods to be a low dollar car with low dollar mods.

Then you counter with more mods then he counters and back and forth and bla, bla, bla.On this day that goofy car pulled a strong running twin screw cobra, end of story and I'm impressed with the Mercedes or Bmw or whatever that thing is. No I wouldn't trade my cobra for it, but I sure wouldn't bet on my car to win a race against it though either. The thing ran strong.
thanks :beer:
I really hate it when people throw out the Money Line....
Power is power , stop with the money comparisions...

Nice! That cobra got spanked.No shame loosing to a fast m3 like that. I will say the obvious though that whipple or kb cobras come in many strengths too. Mine for instance is your average mild 17lb 589rwp whip snake another cobra in town has run 9.80s at 138mph on the same 2.3 blower. So results will vary lol!
HPF does some good things with those M cars, thats for sure
To pull as much power out of those M3's as HPF does is impressive, especially on stock internals.... its not like the M division doesn't pull every bit of power out of the 3.2 that they can..... that m3 rips...impressive

An efficient N/A motor is an efficient FI motor.
of course you do because your driving a 08 Z06! The point is any car can be made fast with enough money. The trick for the average person is to make as much power for as little money spent as possible. People are complaining about how they could make more power for less than 16K that's all.
Power IS NOT Power when it can be made for cheaper and then dumped back into the car for even more power
Yeah sorry we can't all afford to live in Cali and drive a Z06.
Unfortunately you still couldn't pay for an education. "comparison"
it's a fast M3 no doubt about it, but honestly, you throw $16k at ANYTHING and it'll be fast. I can make a scion fast with $16k in mods . . . it's fast but not really an accomplishment.
The allure around the cobra is that with around $3k in upgrades to a mid-low $20k car will get you a 500+hp monster.
On top of that $100 says that M3 spends more time at the shop than actually racing. I had an 04 M3 and my friend has a stage1 HPF M3 just liek that one, he's trying to get rid of it after it's fixed . . .
I never saw what was soooo remarkable about the //M cars performance-wise they're just not worth the money. If you want nice looking luxury sure maybe but otherwise ehh

Ok. I'm finished laughing.

Noice!
Everyone has a different budget. There's no sense in doing dollar for dollar bullshit. $1,000 in mods for one person might be considered a lot of money but at the same time pocket change for another. I guess if everyone had the exact same budget it would matter, but that's not the case and never will be.
Run what ya brung and leave the finance discussions at home.
