And 0-60, who cares? It's one of the most destructive things you can do to your car, trying to be competitive in the 0-60 range.

The M3 was simply never equipped from the factory for maximum grip, it was equipped to entertain, to move around, to showcase the excellent balance. When I take mine to the track where I want grip, I just put the 285's on and it's perfect.
Granted, not exactly test pipes and evolve tune but the power Drew was running on this pass was still quite a bit less than what a bunch of the bolt-on guys have been posting. Note he also removed the backseats for this run and was running more tire in the rear.

Anyway, it has him at 11.885 @ 118.78

I agree with you on 0-60, I just mentioned it since some of the guys were expecting quite a bit faster.
