re: Camaro SS vs. 95 M3

Paul:

For 0-60 acceleration re gearing the final drive is the most direct way for
gains. I have a 3.46 final gear and a quaiffe(sp?) from Korman Autoworks and
this makes a definite difference. I also did this to my '94 325is in 1995.
My son now has the '94 and put a 3.91 final drive in. Very quick but not to
my taste.  You can ship your diff to Ray and they will so the necesary
rebuild. You may even get my son (Wes) working on your car -- he has been a
Tech there since August a year ago. The turn around time is not too long and
worth an expert build.


For more information go to http://www.kormanfastbmw.com/techinfo.htm for a
very good explaination of the procedure and why you do not loose top end
speed. It's not chheap but it sure is effective and I love acceleration.
