quick question on the end of the video, you were doing a launch what was that time for 1/4 mile? and if so how did you do? what was the time of the M3?

looks fun

C32
I guess the video only showed the 0-60mph time...
C32 has too much wheel spin...6+second
M3 did 0-60mph in 5.5second from the video.

Are we sure that the times are for 0-60mph and not 0-100km/h???

They are in the UK, I think.

Sprint was a "timed" 0.60 time and not a 1/4 mile.

6.1secs vs 5.5 for the m3 with launch control.
too much wheel spin coupled with the fact it was very hot at the day resulted in poor performance results for the C32.
