As it currently stands it should be interesting to see a 400 rwhp, 4000 lbs sedan (with driver) vs. a 650 rwhp, 3900 lbs car (with driver, approx 
).
At least give us 40, 50 more rwhp with some headers...

All due respect to the MBWorld member who is currently scheduled to compete on our behalf, I really think Dodger or Mthis should go instead. Their cars are faster, plain and simple and there's no getting around the amount of track experience that they both have.
I hope the BMW crowd is being rational here and understands where we're coming from.
And I hope "Forum Wars" would want a close competition. Otherwise, the entertainment value just plummets.

You should do it! Did you email theforumwars@gmail.com? That's The producer's email.
Never the less I'm ready! I'll throw in the LSD next week set up some tires, hope we can't use drs.. And hit the road.,
Mthis would be my copilot so we both would go with my car!
I was under the assumption that there was some sort of voting to take place?

I just got off the phone with Tatorr he confirmed that he will be representing MBWorld in The Forum Wars. Thanks to all for nominating. And I wish you good luck. Thanks, Paul.
We have a new recommendation based on information received about the M3 you have selected....
Please read above for the C63 forum nomination

Yeah, I found out yesterday that i'll be running against a ESS M3. Which is not fair because of what i read was it was suppose to be a similar mod race. I only have a tune and the other feller has a supercharger?! I'm getting T-Bagged here.
Dodger, When Paul from FW sent me an email. He told me that YOU were nominated and then a day later, i get a email from paul saying to confirm if i can make it. So i did, knowing that i don't know what happen to you.
To wrap things up, Dodger, If you can make it. I'll let paul know that i won't be attending and pass it to you.
When i gave interest in this event it said similar mod's. To find out later that im running agaisnt a ESS M3 is not fair play.

It's a non issue for me I thought the same. I thought there were a few cars competing in different steps of mods... I did not no who was nominated.. But I would defiantly step up.. And with mthis coming to help I think it would be a good showing, although still not fair.. I still would like the rules and clarification of similar mods and tires..

Thank you,
Paul

Looking for E63
Hey Guys:
Sorry for the slow response. The M3 that was going to come out is having some technical problems and now can't make it. We have a couple backup M3's and are confirming the mods so that we can have as even of a match up as possible. Thanks for your patience. I will get back with you as soon as possible.
Thanks
Paul

Honestly I hope they find one ......it will be much more interesting to watch two seriously modified cars rather than tune only versions. A LOT of car enthusiasts will be shocked by the performance of a car like Dodgers. The tire rule is too restrictive, MT streets are street legal just are Proxe R888's which I drive from track to hotel at every event regardless of weather. Well if this doesn't work out maybe Tanner could get one of our cars on Battle of the Supercars.
