don’t really want to get rid of my car tbh thats the main reason and i want a daily that can go against 5.0s and ss
Unfortunately an SI just isn't going to be competitive against a 5.0 or SS. The 10spds are absolutely nasty from roll and the 5.0's can make big power relatively cheaply. From a roll a decently modded type R might hang or potentially win against a stock mustang. However if you want the best of both worlds do what I did and invest in an M240i xdrive.

I know nobody wants to talk about EV's since they don't make any noise, but if all you want is straight line speed, I don't think there is a more cost effective option than a used Model 3 Performance. Here's an example in Florida:

2021 Model 3 Performance

These run 1/4 mile times about 1 full second quicker than a stock GT or SS.

For straight line speed they can't be touched. But damn are they boring.
