seriously, do you know anything about cars, or do you just come on here to show off the fact you drive a bmw? so far i've seen nothing but opinions (and weak insults) coming from you based on NOTHING tangible, and now you're trying to pull this bullshit off. so... according to this post you're admitting that a 240 can be made to beat an m3, but signal auto has to build it, and it will cost $20k. obviously we've all been told that an m3 was engineered from the ground up to a be a street legal race car off the lot. that's why that motherfucker costs $45k. one would EXPECT to put alot of money into a car that was originally MSRP'd at fucking $12k 15 years ago (which can now be had for less than $2k) to make it competitive. but it's still not $45k then. so you lose the "bang for the buck" argument as well. so you're just a fucking tool, no matter what way you look at it.
just step back and leave the arguing to the people who know what the fuck they're talking about.

Yes, I expect to beat my previous time. I dont have an LS1 though.

I had considered slicks, but I was afraid of breaking my stock rear end/vlsd/axles if I hooked harder than expected.
