Modded DCT M3 vs. Stock E55 and Stock CTS-V- Vids
My buddy Drew met with up with stock beasts and took some real world videos...
Not bad for a little 4 liter with relatively cheap mods:

wow - that CTS-V is a monster. I still gotta say the MB doesn't do too bad for a 4-5 year old car. Makes us stock guys think we need to do the 550hp upgrade. LOL!
thanks for sharing

The new M3 is a great car, huge improvement on the E46, I had one for a week whilst my car was being repaired.
I really did not wont to like it but I did... LOL, 1 night I was playing poker with the boys for like 8 hours straight, I was tired, got in the car fired it up and i was alive again, roads were empty, i drove its nuts off for about 1 hour (i live 10mins away), it was allot of fun, handles so well and the V8 sings its heart out at 8k rpm!![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

cool videos..
DCT is a really works very well from a roll. specially in 1st gear and 2nd gear.
most races seem to about 110+... but they represent true street/highway racing.

LOL, they need to drive one! I Had 04 SMG for 2 years, I thought, nah... E46 is king! Then i drove E92 and I was like, Sh*t what a car! Its close to perfect, just feels like it could do with a bit more power. You obviously felt the same..

Good videos. I was suprised by some of the outcomes. As soon as the supercharger kits are released for the M3 I may pick one up seeing as how the supercharger for the 63 has been cancelled...

Sick M3 DLSJ5! Love your videos too! I noticed that you sometimes race without your back seats like in the CLK63 BS video, and when you ran the CTS-V you had the seats in. Do you think that if you were pull them out, you would have been even with the CTS-V? I guess all I am trying to say is, does the weight of the rear seats effect the performance a lot or marginally?
Thanks
Thanks

Regarding the rear seats, based on the many comparo runs, I don't think it did much, if anything.

What I would like to know is how in the world do you find everyone to race you lol. I want to race a CTS-V and even went on their forum. After watching this video its obvious that the CTS-V would have walked the E55 hard but I want to see it happen to my E55 because I'm 100% sure my 55 is healthy.

Seen videos where the CTS-V is barely quicker than a M5, barely. Have also seen where the E55 and M5 are neck to neck. All stock. Was something wrong with the E55 in the video? Or perhaps that V was not stock. The M3 is surely quick, just seem the E55 was slower than normal.

I wanted to say the same thing not taking away anything from the M3 because I know it is quick. I was thinking maybe that E55 has issues. I know a while back when I had my IC pump issues my car was definetly not running full potential.

Here's a stock CTSV against a stock M5.
