05GT Guru Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I herd all you need is an sti swap to beat an m3. I heard you need a car that can run low to mid 12s and trap 113mph+ to beat a E90 m3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hmmm, you could add another turbo here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Supercharger-Turbo-VTEC-Civic-Prelude-Accord-CRX-NEW-/290676614270?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43adad247e&vxp=mtr#ht_6830wt_1364 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee07 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I beat an older m3 the other day doing an crosswalk to the other crosswalk(1.5 sec) race on ice/snow/slush. I beat it, til I let off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1anatic Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 True story. I once passed a Dodge Viper in a minivan. I even have a video of it, coming back from Indianapolis after an F1 race in early 2000s. This thread is worthless. The M3 will most of our cars alive. And those of us that have cars that can take on an M3 have spent on the Legacy enough money that they should have bought an M3 in the first place. Because they still have a Subaru as opposed to a Bee-Em-Double-You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee07 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 We may not beat an m3 in racing or on the track but at least ours is cheaper and sound's so much better. The unequal length header, flat engine, 1,3,2,4 firing order boxer rumble. I love it and many other people including exhaust shops love the boxer rumble. They even told me to rev it and recorded a video of me driving by when I did my tbe exhaust. This makes me want to go and fire her up and drive it but me has no point B destination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibr_adam09 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 There's always a point B destination. Like, two inches further up your drive way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? The Subaru H4 sounds like a tractor engine compared to the 4.0L V8 in a current M3. Tractor engine vs. shrieking V8 that redlines at around 8K.... yeah I'm going with the V8.

BoozeRS05 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 I think its interesting that one car costs what...$80-$120k and prob has a $2-$3k exhaust among other tens of thousands of dollars in mods. And the other car costs $15k with a straight pipe exhaust costing $200. Great comparison. On a budget of $30k into an 09 specB I bet it might be interesting...

05GT Guru Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 But the question wasnt which one is cheaper to build It was which one sounds better and although I do like the boxer rumble compared to other 4 cylinders v8s sound so damn nice and they all have different sounds depending on materials used, size, firing order, exhaust design etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 A top notch exhaust on a built LGT might sound better then that LGT posted above. That was my point.

Mega Users paintpollz Posted March 5, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted March 5, 2012 I along with others are confused as to the grounds of these discussions. Voicing opinions can be good and whatnot, but in reality, this is apples vs. oranges. coupe vs. sedan german vs. jap - can be a good discussion inline motors vs. h blocks sporty family car vs. road legal race horse awd vs. rwd the obvious list goes on. I am however stoked to have seen that m3 with the stroker kit. christ. LGT vs. c63 AMG Black Series.-omg wtf "Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left."

Mega Users paintpollz Posted March 5, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted March 5, 2012 That RS-46 stroker kit costs $32.9k!!!!!! Meh, too expensive. I'd rather buy an E46 for 20k, send it to HPF for another 20k for a stage 2 package, and have a 480-620 whp beast. I wonder if HPF will come out with a turbo option for the E92s soon Those are fun youtube videos to watch. "Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left."

You can build entire engines plus custom turbo kit and tuning for 20k on some engines and make gobs more power. Those BMW owners know this, but they have money and wat a crazy fast BMW so those companies make there money off of those rich bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
