Good run. Looks like they were very closely matched on topend. Thanks for posting the link to the video. You are lucky to have places in Siberia that are flat and straight enough to go that fast. If we try to drive that fast here we go directly to jail.

i think stage II is headers, intake, pulley, plugs/wires, and tune though. maybe running with different (or less) mods at the time against the M3

It takes all those mods for the C32 to almost be as fast as an I/E M3? Coming from an E55 AMG owner I don't know much about these C32's but I know first hand M3's aren't slow. And also, why so bitter towards the M? My wife LOVES her's and when I drive it, so do I.

no.....someone asked if those were the mods he was running during the race. i said, if he had those mods, he would have pulled buses on the M3.....With just an intake and pulley (for power mods), i pulled 2 cars on an M3 with 5 people in my car. Add headers and a tune to that, its got no chance.
You can't do very much to an E46 M3 (intake, exhaust, chip, pulley; all combined for maybe 30 hp) unless you boost it. They are quick cars stock, but unless you go the forced induction route, they have little chance against a pullied C32, especially if you have those Stg II mods.
And as far as being bitter towards the Ms? Well first off, this is an AMG race....and C32 owners are generally bitter towards E46 M3 owners (generally seen as a$$holes). However, I was not being bitter. Just being honest. I have raced many an M3 and know how quick they are. That's all.

btw....do you have the W210 E55 or W211? If you have the W211, I don't see how you find your "wife's" M3 not slow. Going from the W211 to the M3 is night and day.
