What were the results? Im curios to know how a stage 2 and stage 2+ would do against an M roadster with Dinan intake, exhaust and chip.

00 has the M52 motor, it's only 240hp, and the caris a porker at 3300lbs. They are very fast & make great low end torque, but a stage 1 should take it, maybe not off line.

My old roommate had a 00 & I loved it, but the S4 is a lot faster, if only it handled as well.

Yes. On the road for fun. Not sure what year it was, but it took me off the line. I took it after that.

hmm strange..i think the line is where you should get it.. thats the awd advantage..at least if your launching properly.. i odnt know how you cna really say that car is a porker.. at 3300 lbs..hell the s4 is what 3600-3700 lbs.. were the porkers [8D]. but wed be much more tunable. stock for stock would be close.

Stock VS Stock, I'll put my money on the MZ3.

Yes, for a 2 seater little car they do weigh a lot, of course that weight was with the driver when my roommates was corner balanced.

I just had my car corner balanced yesterday, and it tipped the scales at 3960, with me in it so minus 240lbs.

You posted this on AW as well right 2k? They were a little harsh over there, lol. I'm tipping the scales at 210 myself, 6'3".

Yea, with the alignment lasers on the tires it was at 4060lbs, so minus 80lbs for that, and then 240lbs for me. No matter what, it's a dam heavy car!
My BMW 5 series was only 3550 with me in it, and I thought that was heavy, my old M3 was 2770 with me in it.

I had an M Roadster, and loved it. I'd say off the line the S4 but after that the M should pull on it. I had a couple more mods on mine but it at least seemed a lot faster than my S4
