I haven't bothered to post it on YouTube because it's a crappy vid but am happy to do it.
Was that with the 625 kit that was shown in the last video that we were talking about or 650 that you have now? And with a midpipe or not? A midpipe would make a big difference on a boosted M3, and even a "625" kit M3 with a midpipe is not making 625 hp...probably at least 650.

What was your wheel hp in that video against the GTR and when your raced the GTR with chip/midpipe?

I'd bet a 600 hp GTR would beat an actual 625 hp M3 in a rolling race under most circumstances, due to broader power band and higher torque as I mentioned.
