Which theoretically means a (ex)F1 driver or Marc Basseng(D) or Tom Coronel(NL) or Michael Vergers(NL) or Stefan Roser(D) or whoever is a pro driver at the Ring could do a lap in a stock E9xM3 6MT in about 7:54 LOL.  That's what I am interested in.  |
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR AN M3 TO KNOCK 11s OFF HORST'S TIME?
Two words : Frank Stipler.
I sincerely believe that in the right hands the M3 is capable of in the seven fifty something, what that might actually end up I honest don't know. Though I will add that the behaviour and handling charactistics of a rwd car to that of an awd one is different and it's not necessarily the case that the same driver (even a good one) will pull the best out of each.
If you drive a rwd car as neatly as possible you achieve the best out of it but if you drive an awd likewise it will not. Most awd cars you need to be beyond neat, to get a four wheel drift at times is the optimum way.
