Since I run 255/40ZR17, my speedo reads higher than a stock EVO so if my speedo reads 160mph, then I'm prob only going 145-150mph.

if the guys such a hard ***, then he should have no probs racing from a dig... even still, if you're modded, a roll should be no prob... especially if he's stock... like someone else said, they don't respond to mods that well, besides the Dinan Ecu tweak... oh yeah, and that one turbo kit lol...
I've swept through 150 before on I-80, i fig'd it was hitting around the upper 140's for speedo-buffer... and it's only natural to be able to tell the Evo losses steam in the higher gears between the drivetrain and downforce/drag... but it is very very stable at high speeds, i can say that much as well hitting some decent turns at speeds and didn't even float over the passing lines once...

I've raced an e46 m3 in 3 instances, the first two times were stock and I had a bit of trouble with it and after ~100 I was falling behind at a clear pace.. wasn't keeping my eyes on the speedo. Now I have a UTEC (standard stage map), Buschur Intake, Helix DP and the e46 gets bitter every time I mention a new mod... 'Nuff said. BTW, I have an '05, which means the 10.5 hotside, so if you have an '03 or '04, substitute 10.5 hotside with turboback (cat delete) and you're set. A BR stage 3/4 will pull on an m3 without a doubt... if not, you need to rethink your driving ability.

Calm down e-thug.
I highly doubt you are older than I am, and if you are then what you just posted refelcted your ignorance and shows that you are nothing but a little punk.

I have three mods and have no problems with E46 M3's, although I've never raced one over 100 mph. If if they start to gain, it would have to make up A LOT of ground.

Hey mods, I got your email about being a mod for the Mountain area. Make me a mod already so I can punt this troublemaker and lock this worthless thread.

Just do a dual race.... 1 run on your terms out of the hole from a dead stop, then from a roll. Don't just race his race. 
He wants to race you from a roll and top end for a reason. You want to race him out of the whole to about 100+ for a reason. So do them both. What kind of race is that 100-140..... Takes mad skillz to drop down a few gears and nail the gas.
