I really dont know how else to put it. They are SO far out in left field that even people from THIS planet cant talk sense into these guys.
Before I bough the C63 and was considering the M3 I asked on the M3post board how do you compensate on the track for the lesser one piston brakes on the M3? OH MY GAWD!! You would have thought there was a terrorist attack on an M3 convention!!! I was attacked and crucified and skewered up one way and down the other. I have been to the track many times and have seen a few E90 M3s ALL have brake upgrades. When I asked the question on M3post All these miscreants came out of the primordial ooze and said the M3 brakes were the best brakes on the planet Krypton. When I finally got some of them to stop yelling at me and asked them how many track days they had on their cars the answer came out uh none. There just is no way to have a normal conversation with any of those guys unless they regularly track their cars. THOSE guys seem to be of the same DNA as our species does.
They seem to be well grounded and are capable of having a well rounded car discussion. But those whom havent been to the track and only house theirs in garages then there is no hope.
I like to have discussion with Corvette dude and Like to razz them but they will come down and finally talk turkey. Alot of them will go to a road course or drag strip. But again until the mother-ship comes and transports those non-tracking M3 owners back to their own galaxy getting on either of those 2 boards is a colossal waste of time

they think that the m3 is the best car in the world. watch top gear even Jeremy Clarkson said that m3 drivers have NO FRIENDS.

Keep in mind these are fast tracks and said individuals both put 100 or more passes into achieving those lofty goals.

That being said, they are legitimate numbers. Take it FWIW.
Ranger is the man!

Like I said, professional caliber drivers and willing to make that many passes on a 75K car in the quest for a 10 second slip.

a friend of mine here in the forum own a GT3 RS and another friend of us has the Z06.. The z06 goes dead even with the GT3... STRANGE... i know everybody talks that the z06.. but i never see this...

BTW the GT3RS is euro spec and the Z06 is US SPEC , dont know if this do any difference, i think yes because the US spec has more catalystics


By the way, here are some links, some Z06 running 10 stock.
