How fast is a stock E92 M3 in the half mile?

I am thinking about heading to a SlipStream East Coast event this coming summer.

I want to beat my personal top speed of just over 130 in a Nissan GT-R.

More than that I want to hit the speed limiter on the M3 at 155.

I did my searching, but I find people have certain mods on theirs or they are M3's from race teams which I cannot confirm but imply mods.

How fast will I go?

I was able to get 137 with intake filter and catless pipes, on 91 pump gas. 140 would be achievable i think with better fuel.

A) the stock Limiter is at 161 mph on stock tires, various people have confirmed this including car and driver my theory on why the discrepancy is works out to 155mph on the shortest OEM recommended snow tire setup of 235/40-18
2) yeah not going to happen on the 1/2 maybe a standing mil Or a rolling half mile
