I got clowned!

lol I tried to stack the deck in my car's favor as much as I could, I had Vitolo driving my car with my big (6'3" 320 lbs) ass filming from the Dinan car, and Vitolo still got smoked.

FYI in the video when my car suddenly drops off like Vitolo laid off the gas, it was because Vitolo laid off the gas. :D

Nice vid chris. I sent you a PM on dtmpower regarding HRE wheel repair. Did you receive it? Later

CMT, what's done to your car? it kept up really well even though the charged Bimmer was carrying an extra 300 lbs.

Doesn't look to me like you/Vitolo got smoked. He kept up and was ahead for most of the vid.

Ya man... If vitolo would have kept his foot in it some more... enough for another gear change, I think you're car would have come back up front.

Damn Chris, your car kept up really good. I dont think you were clowned at all. I'd be pissed if I was the guy the SC.

Heh.

As the speeds increase, my car has less and less of a chance.

There is more of a difference between the two than the video really shows, the roll-on was started at a speed and RPM that was completely in my favor. The Dinan car is actually quite faster than my car, but we started right at my car's absolute snappiest point in the powerband, and there was a shift involved, which meant the SC car lost boost just as my car was hitting 5000 RPM - that's why he pulls on me just before he shifts and again as he gets close to redline - I cannot match his high end.

Otherwise I really cannot complain about the way my car is running right now. It's pretty strong. :D

m3ltw98: I got it. I will be in the office tomorrow and will be in touch regarding the HRE. I just need one of the specialists to see it so they can decide the best way to proceed.

euro4life: intake, exhaust, software, coilovers, and a 3.46 rear diff....which was the best performance mod I have done yet.

Wow. Your car is strong. It looks amazing too. Love the HRE's

I'm going with coilovers in a week or 2 (depending on how busy I am of course) then a new clutch w/ ltw flywheel and finally I'll put in a lsd rear. After that the car should be a hoot. Everyone always praises the lower geared diffs.

No shame, Chris... thanks for sharing, dude!

nice video and nice race ! i like your m3 a lot. I have a 3.46 and quaife in my 325 and i think that they were the best N/A upgrades ive done.

Where exactly did you lose? Did I download the right Video?

He pulls on me at the end. And then Vitolo laid off the gas.

Here is what he does to me when I am in my car, Jon driving again, me filming, with Tony in the SC car all by himself. :D

Chris,
The car looks great as per usual!
It's tough to beat a car with boost.
But I think a car with cams, headers, pulleys, and good gearing could give a stage 1 SC car a decent run for its money.
I was going to SC my Roadster, but have been thinking about the NA route. Or just leaving it stock, and installing a nice 75 shot for those dire moments! :D

Keep up the nice vids!

damn, im gonna start dling that right now! hehe.. thx man... and hey, are those flags on the black car like color changing or what? reminds me of my friends mystic cobra (color changing one)...

sweet!

Hey, sweet ride and nice vids!!

Sweet ride CMT..
And by the looks of it, your car is running hard!!
Good Job :buttrock
