Well, that's the root of the argument, and the bet. Can I make an American Muscle car become a sports car for 12 grand? The M3 is a sports sedan, it's fast in the corners, but he can maybe hit 160 with a tail wind. But he's 500+/- lbs lighter than the Camaro. ~3200 vs ~3700. Doesn't seem like a big difference, but it's actually 16% heavier! Plus, it's ancient in terms of handling, and not weight balanced. There are a lot of things that I need to compensate for with an American muscle car. There's no way in hell his M3 would hang with a 6.0L Camaro in a Drag race. He knows this as well as I do. I'd destroy him in the straights with a 350 any day of the week. and he'll make up all that time in the corners, which is what we are trying to stop.
