Gay.
Just when I thought I was going to be able to keep up with a brand new M3 with my upcoming k20 swap and boltons, BMW had to come out with a new M3 for '06. Upgrading from 333 hp to 400 hp. WTH ... how am I ever gonna keep up with that? If you put a supercharger on that ... there is no winning against that. Never. Ever. Not with fwd.

Rep Power: 362 haha not soon ... expect 3-4 months ... worst case scenario, I expect it in around my b-day (Dec. 22)
yeah ... engine is too small in an s2k for that amount of money. I need a good rwd car ... but yeah, my next car probably will be an s2k (or maybe by then, it'll be s2010 ... who knows)

Rep Power: 0 Uh... when you pay 70,000+ for an M3 (as was stickered the one I saw in the showroom yesterday) you get to be the badass. You could do anything to a civic if you had ~50,000 to spend on it =D

notice I said with bolts ... i/h/e/hondata produces about 220 whp for k20a. Now with my turbo, I've raced an h22 cx eg with i/h/e and we were dead even from a stop until about 110 (where we let off). I strolled across a vid at h-t.com with a k20a dc2 vs. h22 cx eg ... dc2 had a very restrictive header, ghetto intake, exhaust and still managed to pull about 2 cars by the end of 4th from a roll ... eg had i/h/e
now that that's been said ... I've raced a new M3 on the free way ... twice ... 80-120 and neither of us pulled.
In a nutshell: h22 cx eg = M3, but both <<< K20a

Rep Power: 301 man...so basically you are spending about what? 23~5G right? If you really want a fast car try to look for some 93+ RX-7's or Supras. You'll find decent ones for that amount of money...
I think Civics don't worth spending money on sPeed...just for look...

Rep Power: 362 that's not true ... M3's run mid-low 13's. If you have 9 psi on a good launch on an ex, you can pull low 13's. Ok, well I've run quite a few sti's with my turbo and killed wrx's all day with my turbo. I don't know, maybe I had a freak turbo or something, but I have so many witnesses
hm, ok maybe not 9 psi... maybe 10 psi ;P

Now that I know the M-3 is 55 loaded it seems much more realistic to want one. Too bad I don't make much...

Rep Power: 318 well I got pissed off at lambo's and ferrari's. Thinking stupid rich bastards. Than we got a corvette and we toyed with it a little. Now I eat BMW M3's for breakfest, ferrari 360 modenas for lunch, and porsche turbos for dinner.
No replacement for displacement. No better bargain for the buck than corvette
Ohh ya we are selling the vette next year to work on the new c6 zO6!
also you have a civic man you should never ever hope for it to catch an M3, your aim should have been a mustang GT or z28 comaro rofl even new GTO.
but an M3?
thats like me wishing to catch a Mclaren F1, Zonda, Lambo Mercilargo or Konieg zegwaa whatever its called!!!
Money can solve most problems not all though, its only 2.0 liters. I saw a 500hp ford focus on cover of motortrend that made me spit out my morning coffee, of course it had a v8 in it. Guess what? still didnt beat the lambo gallardo.
Want to take on an M3? I say go for an Rx8 and twin turbo it why an RX8? its the cheapest and best performing track car of the bunch. Sorry 350z owners I have seen rx8's perform better on smaller enclosed tracks.
Or hell just get a supra and dump 20k into it
ohh ya new m3 is a 400hp v8 swapped directly from the current M5.
