I ran an E46 in 2nd gear through 3rd before it became too dangerous to go further and we shut down. He was barely pulling and had less than a car on me toward the end of my 3rd gear.

A stock S runs high 13s 1/4 mile at best, a stock E46 M3 auto runs about mid 13s (manual is closer to low 13s). And that car has WAY more low end torque and power than an S. There is no way you'd keep up with an E46 M3 off the line unless you launched your car.

Read his mod list, especially the 4.77 gear part.
the 4.77 gears make a huge difference, and along with his other mods especially because of a tune with the VAFC would make him quite a bit quicker than a stock S.

people think we're racing in everyday driving b/c our motors sound/are high strung.
I know what you mean.... some antsy little driver next to us who is looking for a race sees that we don't shift gears at 3k rpm and we hold a gear longer will think that since we are still in the same gear will take that as the beginning of a race

Two words, wrong gear. or you raced a douche.
I can put a buslength on a stock S in no time. 4.77 gears + big weight reduction = bye bye
