well my frist real race in my m3. but it was with my friend, so i still haent had a real race. i raced my friends 2002 sabb turbo, and i won by about 4-5 cars. then my freind drove my car and he beat the sabb by about 3 cars.( frist time he drove my car) anyway, my buddy that drove my car was inpresed, but he owns a race shop and he gave me a ride in his new car,( a crx si with a b16.) it hits mid to low 14's. i was also impressed. hehee. fun night. oh by the way the sabb was a 95 sport, not the arrow( arrow has 240 hp)

I used to have an '87 Saab 900 Turbo before the M3. I did a little turbo tuning on that and I have to say, it wasn't geared to be a fast car off the line, but on the highway that car was very fast. I routinely whooped fools in BMW's that thought their cars were faster.

Then I bought a BMW. Honestly though, I was pumping 14psi out of the stock turbocharger on that saab, I put on a rising rate fuel pressure regulator, changed the intake and exhaust and that stupid old car was so damn fast. There is no doubt in my mind that it would walk all over my M3 on the highway, not off the line, but on the highway for sure. All that, and I bought the car unmodified with 150,000 miles on it. For all you turbo haters, my brother drives the car now and it's still boosting like mad and has a little over 190,000 on the clock. Just an interesting story I thought I'd share

yea, deffinetly not fast off the line, he even had it in sports mode. i jumped about 2 cars straight off the line, then pulled to about 8, he was catching up a lil and brought it down to about 5. but we stopped.
