I really have yet to see any 1/4 mile times or comments on pulling power after putting a full intake and exhaust (minus headers) with ecu reflash on the car. From what I've read on these forums about 50 hp at the crank seems to be a fair estimate. If thats true then thats 380 hp in a car weighing around 3250 pounds vs. the m3's 414 hp and 3700 pounds. What do you all think?

The thing you have to remember is drag racing is not all about HP. The M3 has a 9000 RPM V8. Totally different machine then a 7500 RPM V6. He will have more power for a longer duration in every gear. His gear ratios are different, he has SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox) there for will be able to shift in .08 seconds. Much faster than any human.
I hate to admit it, but the M3 is a technological marvel compared to the 370Z. Tons of F1 technology in it. Your comparing an $75,000 car to a $30,000 car (base prices). For a fair race, you'd be looking at a GT-R vs M3. The prices are much more comparable... And the GT-R clearly wins that race
