I thought the M3 would real you in up top. Good kill.

After further research

2011 BMW M3= 3726 lbs 414 HP 295 lb ft torque to the crank

You definitely have him in the power department especially in the torque category.

Thats a clean G8 you have there btw

The torque difference isn't so bad because of the M3's gearing... It's the power advantage that does it. Good kill! Been to the track lately?

I think the peak power is similar for both cars right now, but his band is much more narrow, which I think is what hurt him. His overall gearing is shorter, but because he has to wind it so high, I don't think it's as good as it looks.

The last numbers i my sig are from my last time up to the track, but if all goes well I'm hoping to get up there one more time before the end of the season
