There's no denying what the video does for us and how good the cars are, hence my appreciation of it.

I'm not talking about the quality of the cars and the video, i'm talking about the person who posted the video.

A "professional" driver is feeding everyone information that thousands are reading

and...

He's a complete bafoon, basing his results on a constant that doesn't exist on top of accusing, arguably, the most reputable car testing organization in the world of lying. I'm sorry, maybe it's me but i've got to call out the public garbage-ricerness-bias-b.s when I see it, especially when it's on the front page of the largest BMW forum directly mis-leading everyone who reads it

There are CSL's with similar modifications to the one posted running in the mid 7:30's on the Ring. The information is everywhere. Documented, filmed, forums etc.
I'm sorry if your inference on my attitude was off everyone (I edited my super mult-tasking post) but the fact that this guy is claiming an 8:15 car is keeping up with that car 'because it does, he says, and CSL claims are hyped lies' is nut-swinging-biased ricerism and a total joke to me.

R-comps would pick up 10 seconds for the 1M. Give or take +1-2 or -1 or 2 from that. That time would in fact put it on par with an 6 speed E92 M3 tested on PS2's, but would still trail a STOCK CSL, tested by the SAME organization (again) by as much as 15-17 seconds.
The car in the video is a caged, modified, big braked, higher HP, weight reduced version of a car that's already 15-17 seconds faster to begin with on the same tires. CSL's with LESS modifications than the one here have gone faster than 7:40 with drivers similar to that in the 1M. The cars, based on the claims, are in a completely different league with a similar driver. Don't let the noise confuse you.



Ever read "kill" stories on Honda forums? My Si with a high flow intake beat a Vette this week with mad V-tak powa.... I never thought i'd see a similar thread on the front page of Bimmerpost.

And there was me thinking it was your alter ego saying it as it is and not distracting everyone with porn

Nice post on that thread

what strikes me, video is taken inside 1m, but all you can hear is CSL.
