My m20 got spanked today by a damn cadillac cts

[Tze30_34]

I've been gettin pushed around in my car. I have a stock 92 325ic and was thinkin about puttin lots of time and money into my engine. Is it even worth it? I want a mean engine that eats up ricers and is nasty :evil: . Is it worth puttin the time and money into this m20 engine, or should I save my pennies until I have enough to swap in a 3.2 m3 engine or a m30 3.5. I want a fast, reliable e30, that can spank modified audi A4s or 1.8T jettas or hang with modern day beemers. What can this 2.7 m20 engine do? Can it be made into a fast piece of machinery or should I not waste my time and just prepare my suspension for a newer bigger engine. Hope everyone understands where I'm comin from. Thanks.

"Spanking" a ricer will probably never happen. Assuming you're talking about the ricers that actually do stuff to there car besides putting on a fart can. My M50 can easily outrun 1.8T Audis, so if that would satisfy you, go for it.

In the true street racer spirit! You know engine swaps are hot on the streets, go with the M/S50.

You want to spank up ricers? Whatcha doing to do about that fool staring at you in the mirror??!?

Sell your car and buy a DSM.

2.7 m20 has great power stock. Swap it in.

did you rice ass care to notice if it was a CTS-V or not?

LS6 would own you ass in just about anything. Minus turbo the fuck'ed out 2.8i or something.

V series owns you.
Learn to drive with the power you have first, that's my plan.

And you need to acknowledge what your car isnt, there really isnt any bmw that is built purely for straight line acceleration. So if that is what you are looking for go buy yourself an older mustang or camaro to do some highway racing where weight doesnt have as much to do with physics. also if your car is an automatic then that might be your problem, and if it is a manual your clutch wont take kindly to lots of high RPM shifts.

I forget who said this...

"Drag racing a BMW is like taking a hooker fishing. Sure, it might be fun, but that isn't why you paid her"

Spanked by a CTS? Maybe even a V? Get over it.
