Supercharged = SLOW

**shimmy** · 14-05-2012, 07:14 PM

Just wondered why i have never seen a supercharged road going CSL or M3 on track or if i have why they havent stood out like a sore thumb by blasting past all of us!

Do they work?

Have seen a couple at track days Shim. They were pretty rapid iirc, certainly on the straights

They weren't out for very long at a time though...

there was one at Silverstone a couple of years ago, it was very VERY quick

Same here, I know of and have seen two S/C M3's over here and I can assure you they are both very rapid indeed.

Been out in e36 supercharged 1 few years ago and can confirm very very quick . Not sure how long standard drive train will last .

Thats because the supercharged M3s have nothing to prove......
