Keepin' up with Vic's M3

Got a chance to cruise with Uncle Vic and Mike's C230K over the weekend on the streets of Mexico, the M3 is tastefully done and fast

So Vic you have had to resort to picking on C230's in your Moo3 these days? LOL, what did you do after the drive, steal some little old ladies purse and steal some candy from the hands of young children? I guess those AMG's are too much to handle , figured you stick with the sure thing, LOL?


Just kidding Vic, I love you man and your M3 is beautiful...but now I'm dying to race a 328ci. Looks like you guys had a blast.

I'm ALL over this (I'll be going to Riverside area in couple wks on business, so on way home it's on) I'll be adding few bags of Ice to my reservoir plus pure 100 oct to line up w/that beast...

(I recently ran Drews Gintani SC'd M3 10 psi + Meth) We ran multi times from 40-100 dead even then he'd pull me 1-2 lengths & hold till 130ish, also couple times dead even entire run (though he was having misfiring issues w/Meth)

Need to run him again w/Ice & true 100 oct + now that his Meth prob is fixed, I'll see if he wants to meet us all His M3 sounds like a freekin' race bike

I saw one vid, I dont think that was just one to two cars but the vid was not so clear so I might be off and it was only one vid. Plus I heard he misshifted but thats no excuse and knowing drew, he wont make any. He knows that a race is a race.

Drew and I are pretty tight- we talk alot and our matchup is coming soon. You should definitely join but remember I dont use race gas. I use real world daily 91 octane here in Cali.

Only vidz I saw posted were from Warren in Nitrous-fed 335i he pulled me 3-4 lengths on couple runs until I slowly rolled into throttle, then we too ran dead even. They didn't post ANY vidz where we ran even. No offense but his car has every mod+ 3.91 gears etc should walk your M3 pretty badly.

That's cool about race gas, but my turbo's like it

Vic, a lot of people look up to you here! Don't end up like Bluemax. I am actually glad to see you were pretty tame considering the beast you were piloting!

Oh and your car sounds NASTY!

I saw a non posted vid that Drew took.

No offense taken but we are not talking about my M3 vs. his M3- thats apples and oranges... we are talking about my GTR...

Sean, my current Superchargerd M3 is not running 10+psi and I don't have 3.91 gears either, but my previous Supercharged E46 M3 had 10+psi and 3.91 gears, I think you've got the two mixed up! The E92 is running the Gintani Stage 2+, 7-8psi.

I'm not sure why Warren only posted that one video, he should have posted them all. We need a rematch, neither one of us were at our best!

How much WHP did your SL make?

Ahh yes makes sense the GTR is the equalizer Yes a couple times we had uneven starts where it made me look silly... It was an odd night, one run I pulled out of the run as I spotted a huge piece of plywood in the middle of my lane I finally re-spotted it & tossed it off the lil highway we were on.

Def taking my own vidz as Warren ONLY posts 1s where he looks NASA fast

My bad Drew!I did just that... Yeah too many things didn't line up for us, your Meth problems, my over guessing gas mix ended w/over half tank & prolly 92 mixture...

But I still tip my hat to you, your car impresses me more than Warrens NOS 335i, I need to run Ice in reservoir & 100 octane 1/8th tank to take full advantage of my mods, then we should have a great battle

I made 564-565 rwp 690 rwtq after nearly 4 hrs on Autowave's DD, then 633 on a DynoJet w/full ice & proper cool dwn before Dyno run & pure 100 oct.

wowzers. thats about a 100 more whp then the Gintani car makes I believe.

my friends and i just finished putting on the ESS VT2-600 SC kit on my friend's E92. Will dyno it next week, our stock baseline was 330whp...

i drove the car and feels very linear and rpedictable, a lot like a stock M3 just much faster

I might take it out to run Drew but its a stage II car at best and the AWD and slush box gets the power sucked out of it at higher speeds. Ill be sure to make a dig run and a roller if we do it

That's a puffy DJ reading vs real DD @ Gintani so not really apples to apples
