With a $5k JRZ suspension most cars can do that! Not exactly fair comparing it to a stock car. Also the RE71 is worth at least 2 full seconds over PSS.

No, of course not. But 5-6 is well within the realm of possibility, though unlikely on such a short track (most tracks I drive are around the 1:50-2min length so that is my point of reference). I've never driven this particular track so I have no idea what a "quick" time is. I'm just saying though, you can't compare a car with JRZ and what are basically rcomp tires to a stock one. I picked up about 10 seconds on my old car from stock to JRZ/NT01/FBO power adders, but that was on a longer course and starting from a worse platform than a e46 M3 is.

1. You are dumb enough to buy a GT3 and somehow shoehorn a e46 M3 suspension and pilot super sports onto it, drastically downgrading from the stock equipment. 2. You genuinely don't understand that there is much more room to improve the suspension and tires of a mass produced luxury sports sedan than there is on a track-focused "supercar" that comes with sport cup 2s from the factory. 3. You understand all of this perfectly, and are just trolling. Either way, doesn't look good for you! |

It doesn't look good for you if you think suspension and better street tires alone will make up 6+ seconds on a 1 min 20 second a lap track on any car. |

Moving from a 10 year old stock E46 M3 suspension on street tires to a JRZ competition setup with camber plates, a track focused alignment, and RE71 can absolutely approach 5-6 seconds on a 1:30 course. |

Me too!
Just got the word from Matt Dashiell. Apparently an E36M3 with suspension and street tires is faster than an M2 also.. " I ran 1:27.00 on Bridgestone RE71Rs... previous all time best is 1:26.93 on Toyo RA-1s " so the Bridgestones are pretty much R comps... unfortunately they last about as long too " bottom line.. bringing Michelin Pilot SS tires to the track is definitely like bringing street tires to an Ofest autocross .. ![]() Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 05-09-2016 at 11:23 AM.. |

Thanks for the GREAT writeup. I look forward to meeting you again, when you pick up your M2 CSL on ED(whenever BMW builds them!).

What a great write up
![]() If there is one thing you could/would change on the M2 (besides EPS) what would it be? And yea EPS and hydraulic steering make a night and day difference. I remember getting into my E39 after driving my M4 for sometime and enjoying that steering sensation a lot more even though it was a basic 528
