Hey I have a question for all you guys who track your cars on a regular basis. All this talk by the M-3 guys about how their cars as soo much better that ours on the track. How come I never see any on the track? Have you guy had the opportunity to run any of the E9X M's? I think how easily the C takes to mods and the power level increases, any better handling characteristics the M may have has to be cancelled out by the increased power. I would welcome some informed opinions.
Nice find on the vid the little C rules.

That guy is way out of his league! Must have been a combined session... kinda dangerous for the noobs and those around them.

Nice video

I wonder if Z99 is still around? He tracks his car regularly. The last time I spoke with him, he mentioned he likes playing with the P-cars.

I have raced against a couple of M3s but unfortunately few of them were stock. If they were, I'd pass them (stock), if not they'd pass me (stripped M3s with roll cages).

I would say the cars are pretty much even on the track, but it will depend on the type of track and your driving skills. If you do a lot of 100-200km/h accelerations in a lap, you will have a huge advantage over the M3s. If the track is slower, not so much...

From what I've been told, when the C63 gets a tune and headers, the car requires even more skill to drive fast on the track than a non-tuned, otherwise stock car.

The torque is so abundant that you really have to know what you're doing to take the car to the max.

Obviously, on the straights, the modded C63 is more dominant than the M3.

I'm just passing on some recent info I heard.

Is the stock C63 suspension (non P30 package) up to par with a stock M3 suspension for road course duty?
