I think the kit brings it out to about 575hp, or something like that. I want to see how it does against a well modded M5, for better measure. This M5 basically has just half an exhaust, expected result.
That M3 is definitely a beast though.

My Ride: A Car
i drove my friend's m3 today. It felt so nimble and light yet sticks on the road. The feeling was better than the M5 but I like the size of an M5 more. Definitely gotta drive that beast over 5K rpm. Shifting before 5K felt so slow. Shifting at 8K was the way to go. The clutch felt great and it definitely handles like a sports car should.

Apparently he is upgrading the setup, more HP coming. 
It is already pushing over 600hp.

Quote from tightie about the run: "Traction control was completely off and I didn't floor it... I went about 75% of the throttle." 
Why do people say stuff like that, yeah the M3 beat the M5 fair and square but he was trying and he was 100% on it, just listen to the video, the M3 was reving out... who the hell races at 75%?? Its like american films they are always changing gear in a race like they have 20 gears to go through and like in 'the fast and the furious' where they are racing and then the badies come along side so they change down a gear... were they not flat out and trying to get away anyway???? Then theres the bikes where hollywood think every bike even jap super bikes need to sound like a harley and they never leave a 2 stroke crosser with the right noise eg black rain.
Gives us a break he was trying, may be he need to puts a harley sound track over it lol!!

not like I needed any more reasons to want an e92 M3, but thanks

My Ride: See my signature
Total dominance -- the modded M3 ate up the stock M5, passing it as if it were standing still.
But even a stock M3 can pull on a stock M5.
I do expect that the NBA player's 800 bhp M5 could have destroyed the M3. That's a race I would love to see.
