I was at the light with my 89 M3 all stock we both left at the light he just pulled way buy me like 4 car lengths. I stoped and talked to him his is all stock except for a KandN filter,5sp,2.7 six,85 not the super eta. Could the high tourque of the six be kicking mine in the nads. All in all we both got up to 80 and he clearly won the race. I am thinking about pulling the Motorsport and insalling the ETA?


There's no way he should have beat you with only those mods. Either your M3 is not in tune or his car has all the right mods. The ETA does pull hard but the stock gearing sucks. He would jump out on you but would not be about to sustain the lead even with a diff gear change. Now the 325iS would have a better chance but the M3 just has too many advantages over the 325's.
