There's no contest.

sure in that orange colour, but in that new frozen grey colour it would look very mean, purposeful and very sexy. it is still quite heavy for a 'lightweight' at 1530kg. i think with just a major diet to csl weight it would compete with gt3rs around the ring, but for that price it should already be lighter.

I wouldn't care what paint was on it. It's still shite in comparison. It's also way too heavy at 1530kg. I've seen nicer rear wings on the Saxo's racing round the town centre.

Also, as me, Shimmy, Yanto and Daz saw, they use the same carbon roof as the regular coupe and badly fill the fixing for the sharks fin. Very second rate and not bespoke enough for the price.

i think when you are pushing 600bhp you need a wider track to get the power down, so its kinda part and parcel of the performance upgrades.

and i dont think bright orange on the gts is less stealthy than this monster.

whether or not i would want one is an entirely different matter.

gts or bog coupe , the chassis is not designed to handle that kind of power, thus to push 600bhp, modifications to the chassis must be made. they dont need to be, but for better traction in lower gears and powering out of corners it is paramount.

to make the most out of the 600bhp i think you need a wide body kit. take a look at the wheel spin.

i just saw this on their website the other day, and i thought it was a road version of the alms e92 m3. so when mattcsl said for 120k he'd rather have the alms race car it immediately sprang to mind.

gimme a break guys, bloody hell. i'm just an enthusiast.:smt100

your doing very well under extreme pressure ;)

A video of the tacho, -7.5 degrees temperature, god knows where the video is taken and wheelspin in first gear...

You convinced us now :blalalala:

BTW, what is the chassis number of your CSL :whistle:

i think you will find that it wheel spins in the first 3 gears and is only able to put the power down in 4th. Can you count?:whistle:

the video illustrates the fact that the chassis does not cope well with 600bhp.

i agree that in -7.5 it would be difficult to put the power down, but according to g power it had winter tyres and the conditions were optimal for this kind of test.

don't worry fella, i dont. :bigcry:

all about the banter.:thumbs:

my friend knows the exact details as he has a working relationship with g power. maybe g power is lying that they have just developed the prototype and that they even took the photo yesterday, but i very much doubt that as i dont see why they would lie.

my friend is a professional racing driver good enough to get sponsored to drive the not yet developed ferrari 458 gt3, he won the gt3 championship in the dbrs9, had a few seasons in the gt2 rsr and has done testing in lmp1. so when he talks about anything to do with cars it is pure fact, he doesnt speculate.

being part of this forum, one should not assume that they know more than others not on the forum or recently joined, perhaps they do but perhaps they dont. it is just narrow mindedness to assume one knows more than the next man. you said: 'you are not listening members that are here for a few years and actually know a bit more than you.' the operative word here is 'know', as they dont know, they assume it is the same exhaust as a result of a few similar recurring variables.

according to my friend who spoke to akrapovic directly, while akrapovic have not entirely ruled out the possibilty of making an exhaust for the e46 m3, they told him it is very very unlkely as the e46 is the old model now and there isn't a big enough market to produce it. they also added that they are far too busy with development for newer cars with much bigger markets to even consider producing an exhaust for the e46 m3 for the time being.

guru, no. but i watched the video and upon analysis i conveyed my thoughts about traction issues to g power when i spoke to them about their prototype exhaust. they agreed to get the most out of 600bhp, modifications to the chassis must be made.

i will be going to g power in about a month and i will drive the car then.:smokin:

So did you speak to them or your friend who has a working relationship ?

Also, please ask them on my behalf when you visit them :
Is it real that the G Power supercharged M3 flied to space and back ?
The cousin of the wife of my neighbor keeps saying this :hahaha:

no i spoke to them.

i will leave the childish comments and questions to you: 004982529098636, ask for yann.
