What is a "vert"?

anyone have any experience with a E46 M3 and an EVO that can give me their imput

Yes , I do have an input for you:

June 11th Midnight Madness at Tucson AZ(Speed International Raceway)

My car VS M3(333hp)

My car averaging 12.6@107
M3 with just air filter averaging 14.4@99

He had the traction control disconnected, I had the mods listed under my signature. My opinion is that a 05 Evo with exact mod as the 03 M3 should be just a hair quicker but not by much.

I am sure that guy could have done better and get into the high 13's and just over 100mph trap speed

I wish he would've talked that crap to me. I had an E46 M3 owner challenge me to a 1/4 mile drag run, saying that BMW "tuned" I6s are way more powerful than my car.

Funny how he didn't have much to say after I put about three bus lengths on him in that race.

Im not Rez90, but my uncle has a 2004 M3, bone stock, and we went to New Hampshire dragway not too long ago, and the results were very close...We both had no track experience, so we both got ****ty reaction times, but we managed to pull - My 05 evo 13.8 and his 13.9 and some change. I had a better 60 foot time, but he had a few higher MPH's trapped....i cant really remember, but i hope that gives you a general idea. I know he had triple digit speeds, compared to my 98 to 99 MPH

to get the best times for a 1/4 mile run many factors are involve for example:
altitude,winds,barometric pressures,ext temp ect...!!
i think your 13.8 times were slow for the 13.3 everyone else gets!!
also you should check your gasoline if it has the 93 octane rating the evo needs!!!
cause using 91 oct will retard your timing and make your car slower!!
see yaa!!
