Really? I remember seeing turbo and supercharging kits running $9000 or so. Any Cat-Back exhaust was like $1800.

performance is slightly better, i agree.

but the downgrade aspect is not in performance, but rather the antiquity of the parts and style (appearance).

e36 FTW! The only real problems i've had had nothing to do with performance but just maintenance. I had one brake caliper drag, changed a few oxygen sensors other than its beeen pretty sound. i/tp/e was thinking about the chip but ill probably go turbo. I thought my carbon fiber intake was expensive at 350 for a short ram.

I thought the bmw e36 weight more than 3000 pounds.. But still the S should have the advantage due to the weight and same hp..

it makes 236 ft lb of torque though. The S is slightly quicker stock but when both modded n/a the e36 m3 has the upper hand. Its only a few hunderd pounds difference.

[QUOTE=Boost76,Feb 22 2008, 11:00 AM] It helps to shout out V-TAK over and over and over again while in V-tak.
