Anyone knows who owns this INSANE M3?

Rickster311 · 09-30-2011, 11:18 AM

Parking outside my work today, can't locate the owner, so figured I'd give this a shot. Hands down the nicest M3 I've seen in person. The pictures don't do it justice.

Hmm..VAC Motorsports in Philly has the same exact car. I know this doesn't answer your Q.

Sedan_Clan · 09-30-2011, 11:21 AM

It's a VF car that is usually at EAS, but I'm not sure who owns it. It's a bit much for my tastes however.

Zba · 09-30-2011, 11:26 AM

Nicest? That is certainly debatable. If it has 700hp, then I can almost see the point but I've never been a fan of widebody kits.

I also do not know the owner

Rickster311 · 09-30-2011, 11:33 AM

Nicest I've seen *in person*.

While it's too much for my taste, I can certainly appreciate the quality of craftsmanship and the hard work that went into this piece of art.

Thanks for helping me determine who the owner is!

im sorry, but I lol at that theme every time i see. Im sure it might be an homage to someone or something with good intent, but from an outside perspective it looks completely ridiculous. Atleast the red 'TURBINE INTAKE- DANGER' is off the front bumper

Rickster311 · 09-30-2011, 11:44 AM

lol. It definitely looks like they tried to go with the jet plane theme. I'm pretty sure the Lamborghini Aventador does it best, next to the Reventon of course.

FStop7 · 09-30-2011, 11:45 AM

I think it's VF Engineering's shop car.

GOLFFRR · 09-30-2011, 11:51 AM

ITs the owner of VF tunings car. It is a promotional car that he built that tours the country and also participates in various driving events and competitions. the car is a beast in person.

Pretty cool that you saw it in person. I've only seen pics / vids of that VFE project.
My previous M3 had a VFE supercharger on it and the workmanship and detail they apply to their products / projects are commendable.

here's a quick vid of it in action:VFE E92 M3

mkoesel · 09-30-2011, 11:56 AM

Wait, is that actually a flat deep green? Or is that just the picture quality, and really its a gray?

Any idea what the owners name is? Apparently he's at our office today.

Thanks. I actually like that color. It's different, and looks good on the car. the body kit itself is a bit over the top (I don't mind a widebody - but that's a step too far for my taste), but I can appreciate the work that went into the car. I wouldn't kick it out of the garage, that's for sure.

Same car, it's currently at VAC for the moment. Here's a quick shot of the VFE widebody and our previous M3 at MFest V in Vegas:

The VFE car has been at numerous events and magazine covers, it's rare to have not seen this car one time or another.

bsiciliano · 09-30-2011, 12:35 PM

Go to the VF Engineering website. You can see videos of it in action with the owner.

Last time I saw it was at the Steve Thomas / MFest meet.

I found humor in the fact that he rolled in with his little kid and there was a child seat and Minnie mouse doll in the back of that beast.

persian54 · 09-30-2011, 12:37 PM

Seen this car in person, I, although I couldn't do it to my car as a DD, it looks phenomenal

Tom, is that you in the pic above?

the car is currently outside our building, so does this mean there are 2 identical ones?

VAC is in Pennsylvania and has the car with them.

Might be a bit confusing, as your stats say you're in California?

Not me, but a couple of great friends of ours (and awesome drivers) giving ridealongs while at MFest on LVSW.
