and if only that were true ....

maybe he should watch the Evo vids of the CSL mounting every kerb on every corner

as far as i can tell from the vid we had exactly the same cone positions and restrictions as the Evo driver

In think unless it's a porker gt3 RS evo just kick the tyres and do a couple of steady laps. They do write some rubbish!

I would say the CSL 0-60 is sub 5.0 secs

Fantastic time shimi'd struggle to get near that in the shopper

My conclusion is Evo are double shite cos Shimmy ain't no God.

That's impressive Shim. Have you got a vid? Bet the Evo office would hate to see a copy. I think you should write in with vid attached and dare them to publish.

I suspect the 0 - 100km/h for E46 M3 Coupe is 4.8seconds (according to Autocar) and probably about 4.7seconds (according to Autocar though i cannot remember)

I have read the little section on BMW E46 M3 CS/BMW E46 M3 CSL in Evo

If u take away the Cup tyres.......that reflects the real speed of the road car....

The Cup tyres add a fair amount of mechanical grip which would make any M3 go quicker. I wonder how a standard CSL on Michelin Cups would do against a standard E46 M3 Coupe on Michelin Cups round somewhere like the Nurburgring (or any other race track)?

PS
Shimmy that is a great time by the sound of things........what are the differences between the M3 CSL tested (161 BMW) and yours in terms of modifications?

I agree u should send a video

Just kidding.....

It's an easy thing to say but to be honest it doesn't make sense. It's like saying if you put a 1.6L Focus engine in a Ferrari Enzo, it won't go so fast, true but not really of any interest. The CSL came with Cups as a factory fitted choice and it came with an airbox and cams the same. Doesn't mean when you compare you should start swapping and deleting them.
