The make or break question....

[The Gorilla]

Hi,

As regards the Shrim Cars being and
alleged 1450 Kgs then the Guy who
did 7.05 BTG must have been on the
scales that day.

E9X M3 DCT car is approx 35KG heavier than
the Manual [DCT Box is 25kgs hevier alone].

So to go from an approx 1685 kgs to an alleged 1450
kgs, by removing the Inetrior, seats, sound deadning,
roof lining etc, glass, nets around 145 Kgs.

I guess the other 90kgs is to be found with the
7.05 BTG video.

Hi,

Lawsy- totally disagree.

To do the ''Alleged'' 7.05 BTG on the ring then you
have to avg over 100 mph.

Ring is slower than Spa, for several reasons
as proven over the years.

So if you can do 7.05 at the ring [slower circuit] then doing
2.36 at Spa in the same Car, [Shrim Car]
should be a walk in the park.

Those Cars will not get close to 2.36 at Spa even if
on slicks so how they do an alleged 7.05 at the
Ring will have to remain what it is 'talk].

Hi,

To do 7.05 BTG [19.1km] your average
speed is over 100 mph per hour
ie ] over a 161 Kmh

To put that into perspective it means that
that at ''Spa'' faster Circuit, you would be able to do
a Lap time of 2.36 !!!!!!!

Not sure who is smoking what.

APMSLOL :bigcry:

The Schirmer V8 M3's are something else....but Schirmer seems pretty handy himself, I wonder if he's ever played with a CSL?

Loads of them.

As a road car the e92 is miles ahead of a CSL if you just want to get somewhere, I've done 21k miles in 17 months in my e90 and I would swap it for a CSL for maybe 10-20% of those miles.

As your only road car if you have to drive a lot the e9x makes a compelling argument for itself, as a toy or if you only every drive on B roads or for fun then the csl is the way to go.

Or just get both

She loves getting in mine? :smt058

E92 M3 DCT with EDC an absolute must...gearbox is sublime.....however that's about it

Wont repeat the wise words of other well informed peeps but having owned both the E92 M3 and the mighty csl i'm afraid the V8 just doesn't cut it against BMW's finest.

The CSL is an event every time you go out.....the final straw was my wife saying she liked driving the V8 in auto!!
she wont go within 100 yards of the CSL....says it's scary!

What more can I say

You cannot compare ring average speeds to spa average speeds. Bit naive to even compare really.

f1 average speed ranges from 163.5kph to 262.2kph on the slowest to fastest circuit.

The black dauxx e92 is very nice. Looks the purpose as well. Seen it at schirmers a few times when having a few things sorted.
Very sorted on the ring.

Would very much like one (schirmer one, not a standard one)

Surprised it is that light, non RS is 1440 without driver I think?

Road cars are all shit on track anyway in the big scheme of things so just get the one that makes you smile the most! :beer:

:thumbs:

Very true.

No I believe the 997 GT2 RS is 1320kg without the driver.
So let's say 1400kg with the driver.

Look how much faster the HEAVIER 991 GT3 (DCT) is than the more powerful 997 GT3 RS 4.0 (manual) - the Schirmer cars are DCT . It's not JUST about power to weight, just think how many seconds a lap a DCT car is able to shave off a manual shifter (part of the reason the CSL punches above it's power to weight Can be attributed to the shift speed of the SMG car compared to a manual ).

1320 with driver?
