Default There's another M3 that dynoed a low number. I'll see if I still have the link

As for timeslips, there's a guy here in my area that was running 13.8s @ ~100mph.....why is his car so slow? Don't know. I think he can't drive honestly. He wanted to run me, but changed his mind. Now, I did talk to a guy on the Corvette Forum that has a new M3 and he's claiming 13.3 @ 107 was his best times.....so, still no real proof. Just mag test data to go on. Bad thing is, i was thinking about one of these cars....but I hope BMW isn't pulling a FORD Cobra on this one. Next thing you know, they'll be calling all the cars in for a fix.

Default First of all... this is a Mustang dyno...

which will output numbers 10%+ less than a dynojet (99% of the sheets you see are from a dynojet)...

secondly, the M3 is AA's prototyping car... so I don't see why they'd want to make their own car look bad... unless they are "sand-bagging" for when they release their CAI and other assorted BS

Mustang dyno? okay, that makes a difference. Their numbers will be lower than on a dynojet.

That would suck, but would sell some of the product to those who do not know.
