[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16106466, member: 68944"] I’m hoping for 755 or 772hp, but I’m anticipating 725-750hp. Regardless, go look up manual e46 m3 and a dct m3, it’s surprising how much of a difference it makes. It’s like 103 vs 106mph trap speed stock. Modded it’s 5-6mph+. A guy posted how his experience was that it was easy to get 135mph with 6xxwhp and dct in e46’s, but cars with 7xxwhp struggled to break 130 with manuals In 03 cobra world, auto swap cars break 130mph with 5xxwhp, but manual cars struggle to break 130mph with 6xxwhp. You can get a hell of a hotshoe like Ranger or Evan Smith, and the fun of a manual is man-handling it to a time no one else is getting. That said, winning is winning, and most drivers are crap. Example, I’m a great shoe, but trying to show off the other day while scooping a coworker, I lined up at a light in my daily driver, and attempted to keep pace with an Wrx. I’m in a manual nearly stock front drive gm with an ecotec, 270whp and 80k miles. I blew the tires off (15°) and missed 2nd (I blame colder synchros). Wrx was definitely cvt or whatever because he smoked my old man valet crappy ass driving. [/QUOTE]
