Why would you need a lot of road to get max power output from either car? In what gear did you guys start?

Why did you shift early?

It is important to know the rpm at which the M3 shifted from 3rd to 4th gear. If the car was not broken in, the driver might not have revved it to redline.

Regardless, any race between a modded 335 and a stock M3 should be close--even from a rolling start. So, I am not surprised at the outcome.
