Vid from me in my 100% stock CSL (ok, black pagids upgrade + passenger

) following ESS supercharged M3:

(disregard odd wind noise when not on gas)

I've driven the red one on another track and it IS fast.

Yup, recall it being quick but lacking reliability iirc

So you can keep up with a sc M3 no worries, anybody else?

You are starting to sound like a certain " Baris" ........

I can keep up with ANY supercar as long as the other driver is crappy enough

The faster the supercar, the crappier the driver necessary....

The guy in the red sc M3 is a good driver but he rarely pushes that last bit.

my friend had an e46 M3 SC'd and it was properly fast in a straight line. my old stripped out e36 could pass e46's in a straight line but his just blew me away. I remember one time we were going to the ring and he raced a guy on a fast bike all the way to 190+ mph and the biker eventually backed off with a look of disbelief on his face

He now has an e92 SC'd. It's quick but I have a feeling he prefers my CSL

Hi,

The main problem with S54 S/C is the
heat they generate.

I do not think I have seen a S/C S54 do
more than 3-4 continious laps at full chat without
having to slow down or stop to cool.

Even those with the larger front inter coolers
and water injection still suffer from
massive heat issues.
Whole engine block acts as a massive thermal
store so the only way to dissipate the heat
is to slow or stop, reason being is that the
Intercooler absorbs most the natural air cooling
that a N/A car obtains when all the temps start
maxing out.

Then with the increased heat, comes even more unreliability.

Vanos + SMG + S/Charged + 3 hard laps of the Spa =

''Ticking bomb''.

But-

Vanos + SMG + S/Charged + 3 hard laps of the Ring =

'' 2 spare laps''

Regards,

The Gorilla.
