Thanks for the video. The more video of E46 M3 with supercharger, it just make me want to get one. Just wish VF could make one for E60 at affordable price.

Nice videos Scott! That a way to make me look bad!
Scott's M3 is fast, but I have to admit there was some driver error with me hitting my rev limiter on one of those runs.
He beat you in both of the intial runs, did you only hit the rev limiter in one run or both? He seemend to pull better in the 2nd of the intial vids. Did you guys start in a higher gear in those last runs? The higher the start the better the M5 will do, as you know they are absolute highway beasts up top.

Good vids guys.
The 4 runs that were posted were all 3rd gear starts, don't remember what speed but we were both pretty high rpm, maybe 5k or so. There are minimum speed limits be observed, as you know , which makes starting at lower speeds on the autobahn more challenging. Either way I own both cars, and the M5 is a lot faster no matter where you start. The M3 will make more power at peak rpm, but torque curve is very different.
I filled my M3 with RACE FUEL yesterday, I was at about 1/8 tank and I filled it full. The car is a lot faster, I think a stock M5 will lose vs race fuel, darren's M5 will kill me. He had some custom exhaust work done this week that netted his already insanely fast car another 20 whp.

The SC'd M3 is no match? I pulled on a 997TT and an M6 on pump with the beta tune. Scott you're trying to tell us that Q just learned how to drive tonight? I thought he was killing you before? I thought his car was a freak M5 as well, did he not say that? If he was hitting the rev limiter on every shift you'd be gone lol, again did he hit the rev limiter on every shift in both of the intial runs? He said in just one of the runs he hit the rev limiter. 3rd gear starts the M5 will do better, from 2nd gear rolls you should get the jump and hold it, higher speeds the M5 does exceptional.
Alot faster? You were right there, lol. BTW, if you want to destroy your friends M5's add some race fuel, even the HPF cars on pump with stock internals won't pull away on an M5 or M6. On race fuel it would be gone for sure though.
It seems the SC'd M3 would win on race fuel? No kidding, how about a stage 1 on race fuel about even with Kenny's heavily modded M5? Darren's M5 trapped 117 MPH, Q trapped 117MPH as well, not bad but on race fuel you should easily top that, I hit 123MPH, run him on pure MS109, even with his new exhaust you should win, but it seems the results change with each day, lol. Regardless it's good to see that you're running ALOT better, happy for you Bro, what do you think did the trick?
haha, good times Mike, in the 1st vid the VF Stage 1 on some spicy race fuel, is a tad slower than Kenny's modded M5 up top, on pump fuel Kenny would have beaten the Stage 1 M3 rather easily. Mspired's car is in the last race, the white AA Stage 3 M3.
In the 2nd vid of me vs. the lightly modded M5, I was running a beta tune at 7.5 psi. Very close runs however, the M5 sounds unreal!
I have refrained from further posting my info on the M3forum as no one there is the least bit interested in anything that contradicts their personal illusions about their supercharged M3's.
My two posts yesterday, while factual, illustrate beyond question the above statement. F/I section on the M3forum is leading around a herd of sheep. Closing threads and deleting posts that may be viewed as unfavorable to sponsors of a "public opinion forum" may be the norm on the M3Forum, but I highly doubt you will receive the same favors here.
The information I have posted on the M3Forum about my 370 whp supercharged M3 is based on extensive testing and conlusions derived with the assistance of darren_dallas, and others that frequent this board.
Youz two guys have <30 posts here. If you want to come in and try and argue your case here please proceed.

Wow, I thought you were a stand up guy at first, with just a chip on his shoulder... but you have proven to be... a prick....
We have both been HELPING you and congratulating you along the way, yet throughout it all, it has seemed you have been very unappreciative.
You feel that only YOUR tests are valid and everything else is just bullsh1t? You're right, we go out and make false runs and get kicks out of it!
Argue with you? The vids I posted were to show you whats possible, they are FACT, not bullsh1t like you make it out to be.... Why are you so defensive? It seems that you actually like M5's better and actually WANT the VF car to "not be as great".
What does the number of posts have to do with anything? Childish comment.....
