They will not become the laughing stock of the industry and only put out a 415HP 3600lb car.

If a corvette can go anorexic, so can the M3. Final predicition 3500lbs or less, and 425-440 CLAIMED CRANK HP.

(I have made several predictions, so when the official numbers are released we are all in agreement that I will refer to the thread with the closest numbers and say "I told you so!" )
Well it was someone who knows someone who knows someone... That is better than making up numbers isn't it. Like I said if there was any action here I probably would not have posted. Also the real debate/speculation/prize winner can't be closed out until we have specs and DYNO numbers!
