Have you ever driven a Stage 2+ S4?

Default Cause a Stage 2/2+ S4 will run as well if not faster. The M3 feels faster based on butt dyno BUT...

...in reality it's not faster. Don't get me wrong, it's a good race but I've edged out to beaten every E46 M3 I've ever raced.

You should give a Stage 2 S4 a try. :-)

Especially if you are running race fuel. :-)

Default Haven't driven an M3 but had a rather short stint from a roll with a Cab....

I was stock with Neuspeed exhaust. Not really a race, he was trying to shame me by passing outside around a curve and up a hill (4 lane road) and he did not. If we ran for a bit, he would have taken off.

They have the power of a V8 but still the torque of a 6.

No wonder the engines are prone to blow up, those things sound really awful when they wind up... akin to nails on a chalkboard...the hair is standing up on the back of my neck just thinking about it right now. They are purrrrdy though.
