This was my 1st time at the track with my 00Frc. My only mods at that time were Vararam & Ti exhaust. The M3 is my buddies and its completely stock and this was his first time at a track ever.
Enjoy the vid!

1st run:
C.5..........................M3
2.03.......................2.30
12.87@111.77.....13.83@103.40

2nd run:

Few weeks later we went to the track again and both of us managed new personnal bests:
I ran 12.5@111 and the M3 ran 13.4@103

 

 

 

very nice, those are some good times.

Just goes to prove that the M3 ain't as hot as everyone thinks.

Well done

 

Looks like fun!

 

My brother in law has a M3 and it is sweet. Looks like you had a good time

 

 

hell yeah CORVETTES!!!!!!!!!

 

what tire are you running?

 

Just watch out in case he ever challenges you on a real track.
The M3's are no joke on the twistys.

 

 

I've never seen an M3 run at a 1/4 mile track. Still a nice car even if its a few ticks slower than many things out there right now. Everyone seems to judges cars solely by their 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. Pretty cool video.

 

First time I've seen a E46 M3 on a drag strip. Nice runs, both of you.

 

Good times both of you. That M3 is fast enough to take a few C5s down.

Nice video! ... Good runs! ...

 

Great job!!!

 

Wow this is Deja Vu! I was just reading the M3 forum and saw this then I came here and saw it here. Good run. I have a 2005 Comp M3 which is my baby! I just bought a convertible 2001 vette. So I'm back and forth between the forums. The vette has great torque. I seem to get the rear end out quite easy on the vette where as my M3 sticks more but I do have mods on the M.. I appreciate people here and there realizing that 0-60 times are nice but just that if you only like that. Someone will always have a faster 0-60 time. Both cars are great cars. I don't see the reason many people think there so superior then others because of the car they have or yeah I'm way faster then you! Makes me laugh sometimes.. Fast isn't always just about a straight line. I know on the M forums many people talk about not just going fast but taking classes on a track to become a better driver which in turn can make you a faster driver and hopefully better driver. Learning to control you car and its performance is an important thing for you and the others driving around you. I plan on taking a car clinic this next year that BMW offers in San Francisco at ATT park. Does corvette groups or clubs or chevy themselves offer the same type of deal?? Any help would be great..

 

Nice numbers you got out of your car.
