So your view of tuning the S54 although very similar to what I
have always maintained, you are saying that your lightened
car even though still heavier than a std CSL, and with less power than
a ''good' CSL engine, some have made a tad above 360, is quicker...

I am saying what happens on the road ... now the result of course is not MAGICAL !!! ...

Yourself , like a lot of people consider that the only way to go faster is to gain power !!!

On the other hand the experience has proven that especially for the s54 this is futile ... the ACTUAL gains from what I have described on my previous post are much more tangible ON THE ROAD compared with IMAGINARY hp gains

In my current setup I weigh 40-60 kg more than a csl (compared to 140-160 more of a fully stocked M3) BUT the gains from the diff , the rev limiter and the other mods are as it shows in real life bigger !!!

Now I really have no argument with you ... what I say is proven in real life situations with actual cars ... it's your choice to believe that I get my kicks by posting various imaginary situations ... the reason that I have posted the specific examples is that my friend Alexk actually knows ALL of them in person (since he too used to live in Athens)

Still a load of old Moneky business.

Now this is just pathetic !!!

The csl was owned by a close friend both of me and alexk's also named Alex ...

just because you have never bothered to actually try and test your car against other cars ... and choose to believe that things work one way just because the reasoning in your head say's so ... doesn't make everybody else a liar !!! ... on the other hand it is your prerogative to stay in the dark believing that csl's are magical cars that are impossible to out-accelerate ...

I have a tremendous respect for csl's and truly believe that their overall performance (especially on a track) is excellent ... but that has nothing to do with the topic in question
