Leo and I have had some excellent battles, and we've pretty much come away from all of them saying our cars were just about even. Jim has known Leo a bit longer, while Chris and I just joining the high speed gang. We all have modified rides that run pretty much even save a few handling differences; theirs cost a whole helluvalot more than mine did, though!
This pleases me since I spent about one tenth of what Leo did on his car. He gets style points, and chicks probably dig his car a lot more than mine, but my car is about dead even with his M3 as far as speed is concerned.
I've done more mods than what you read about, though. Of course, I'm also not driving with DI or Trionic. Plain ol Stage II APC for me.
Yes, there are different M3s, and the new ones haul butt. They also cost over $50k, right? The new M5 weighs close to 5K lbs, yet still does 0-60 in under 5 seconds. THAT's power.
It's never as simple as just bolting something on..... Yoda & Obi Wan are helping you to understand this now, right? "This is not the speeder you are looking for..."
