my stage 3 saph was a little faster than my pals e36 m3,t34.48,greens,msd,500 cooler,-31 etc and it handled way better,the m3 was like a bar of soap in a bath compared to the cossie.i had coilovers and a dome beam,poly bushes and big brakes.his m3 was on konis and standard everything else,was a bit tired but every corner required handfuls of opposite lock,it was like he was driving round a 50p piece when giving it some,he could drive it too.
