So again, money spent on this, vs money spent on a factory M3 or M5... cost/effectiveness...
I'm not even talking about depreciation over time...
But then you would just have something everyone else has

Besides, i seriously doubt anyones stock M3 is keeping up with the V-10 version- on any road.

A buddy of mine has a E30 M3 with a stock motor and mild suspension mods, he beat a new GT-R at a local autoX by 3 seconds.:)

You know most of that comes down to the driver.

Thought I would mention for the purists.... the e30 m3 engine IS NOT LIGHT, it has a VERY heavy cast iron block = not light. Theres aluminum block v8 engines that are lighter.

To an extent. But it still shows that the E30 M3 can hold it's own in stock form.
