Now, if that 997.1 were a 997.2 and had PDK, it might've been a different story. I was surprised that m3 held up so well. This arkym car really made a point for the m3's at this event.
I have to completely disagree with you. You need only to look at the SWITZER Sledgehammer package for mk.1 997's which put out 850whp on stock internals. That package runs 9.67 @ 146mph in the quarter! The car which race this ///M3 is a mildly modded bolt on turbo.
