Not that I condone street racing or being given/gifted a new car but you are comparing cars that are not in the same class. Not really a fair match-up stock for stock IMO.
2012 MSRP $60,100 4.0-liter 414-hp/295-tq V-8 3704 lbs (taken from BMW USA)
Power to weight =1:8.9
versus
2012 MSRP $41,660 3.7-liter 350-hp/276-tq V-6 3314 lbs (taken from Nissan USA)
Power to weight = 1:9.5
Ask your parents to invest in FI and you will have a better chance assuming you can find sufficient traction.
My NISMO with the GTM Stage 1 SC on a Dynojet and the numbers are at the wheels:
3.7-liter 419-hp/350-tq V-6 ~3314 lbs
Power to weight = 1:7.9
Even with the GTM SC kit and all of the supporting mods, I am well under the price of admission from BMW for an M3.
