Some more on the M3 GTS

[alexk]

I expressed my opinion when I first saw the CSL 1.5 year ago in Munich (one of the first ones to see it).

well you can have this

Are you part owner at G power:whistle:

Defend them to the hilt about an exhaust someone said they copied and now shameless plugs:hahaha:

i think when you are pushing 600bhp you need a wider track to get the power down, so its kinda part and parcel of the performance upgrades.

Nah, more powerful M3s running round with standard bodies.

[AlexGTT]

gts or bog coupe , the chassis is not designed to handle that kind of power, thus to push 600bhp, modifications to the chassis must be made. they dont need to be, but for better traction in lower gears and powering out of corners it is paramount.

There is a customer M3 Coupe at Simpson Motorsport with more than 600bhp. Chassis handles the power just fine.

Don't think about it Nathan. It's a bit beyond us simpletons.:hahaha:

i wish i was part owner, i'd have a lot of toys i can only dream of.

i just saw this on their website the other day, and i thought it was a road version of the alms e92 m3. so when mattcsl said for 120k he'd rather have the alms race car it immediately sprang to mind.

gimme a break guys, bloody hell. i'm just an enthusiast.:smt100

to make the most out of the 600bhp i think you need a wide body kit. take a look at the wheel spin.

And what a scientific approach to prove that you need a wide body kit to put the power down...
A video of the tacho, -7.5 degrees temperature, god knows where the video is taken and wheelspin in first gear...

You convinced us now :blalalala:

BTW, what is the chassis number of your CSL :whistle:

cool, most on here are just "bed hoppers" :smokin:

your doing very well under extreme pressure

:hahaha: :thumbs:Agreed. Ahhhhh, bless you Shim, always looking out for the new guys. Or grooming as it's actually known.:gayfight:

Mind you, -7.5 degrees is not the ideal conditions to get any sort of power down Toofast.

[_Nathan_]

Indeed, just joking.

You can fit pretty wide tyres under the normal arches though, certainly wider than BMW fit.

i think you will find that it wheel spins in the first 3 gears and is only able to put the power down in 4th. Can you count?:whistle:

the video illustrates the fact that the chassis does not cope well with 600bhp.

i agree that in -7.5 it would be difficult to put the power down, but according to g power it had winter tyres and the conditions were optimal for this kind of test.

don't worry fella, i dont. :bigcry:
