you don't really need to spend to much money on your DSM to make it faster i will bit that m3 with my car and i haven't put that much money on my engine best time at 1/4 mile i did 12.92 a stock M3 will run 13.31/4 Mile ET: 13.340

@oddy730 Very true and if all you care about is acceleration bang for your buck then the M3 is a waste of money. It serves as my DD and fun car, has awesome looks, fit, comfort etc and out of the box good power and reliable. I've always said you get what you pay for, it always holds true.

I would never buy a BMW brand new though, buy one a few years old after it depreciates.

i went through the same sht today raced a beamer got the same results as tht dsm but my car is stock though.

V8 .vs. 4c

big diff unless u got at least 3-4 grand put into ur dsm u aint gonna touch a beamer ur gonna be right next to it 1/2 car lenght from winning

[silverstreak328]

@98eclipsegst1 Was it a M3? My gen M3 is a 6 cylinder 3.2L, the NEW M3 is a V8 though...

[silverstreak328]

When I race him from a stop he wins :P

[trb0myk]

there is a great big price diff in these two cars, but all those rolling pulls would have been a lot quicker without the extra 500lbs from the AWD conversion...just saying

[silverstreak328]

@trb0myk I'm a firm believer, you get what you pay for

[itachi20007]

eclipse was slow for all those mods

[intusman]

eclipse power

[coinsagE46m3]

Seriously? You fanboys really think an eclipse is even close to comparable to an E46 M3? And why would an E46 M3 driver even give two shits about straight line speed? Sure, you can put a grand into your car to make it, unreliably I might add, go a LITTLE bit faster in the 1/4 mile, but take the same two cars to Leguna Seca or Willow Springs? If I were in the eclipse, I'd be worry about getting lapped!

@MrIlikeyouonly ur smoking rocks its a hell of alot better then the t-25 it came with and u dont need a bigger turbo the 16g spools faster

[Wfitch90]

@grtedane13 actually its 07 

[Wfitch90]

@DJJLS05 smh 8 grand u should be in the low 10's I spent close to 6 grand its not that hard to get these things going

[Wfitch90]

@itachi20007 all those mods ? are u serious ? they only listed it a ported evo 3, a 6 bolt head and a awd swap.......if this is all he has he has no supporting mods for the turbo he should have useda 7 bolt head on a 6 bolt block smh ur supposed to port the 7 bolt head so its like the 6 bolt head...and if you are just gonn race from a roll u should have left it fwd awd just added more weight

[samzur5]

i had the same problem after putting close to 3 grand into my dsm i stopped killing kidding myself i went and bought myself an 91 e30 coupe 3.2L v6 i still have my 98 dsm but its more of a show car now

[DSMeclipsegst]

@98eclipsegst1 thats not 100% ture dude i dropped only $800 in mods in my previous GST and it would keep pase with a beamer. Its not the price of the mods its how you get them and if you got the right ones. My current DSM i payed $800 for the whole car and with maybe 1k in mods it will blow the doors off a bmw because of previous owners work. its just how lucky you get sometimes lol

[kicker4L]

LOL all the eclipse fanboys are all butt hurt about this video and disliked it.
