I think it looks much better with the angel eyes on. Some aftermarket vendor should replicate that blacked-out bumper and/or make a widebody kit like this, but in a toned-down manner. You know, none of the slats or anything.

Obviously I have no personal experience with this particular car, but in typical sequential race transmissions, the clutch pedal is only for launching the car. Once you're rolling, you just bang the lever to shift it. On downshifts, you do blip the throttle to get the shift, but without clutch--even when you're on the brakes.

the tranny in the M3 im sure is more like the Ferrari GT2 trannys.. but prob not as good... as those you can actually pre downshift before you even start braking.. then when you hit the brakes the ecu takes over and does everything for you... for instance.. your on a long front straight and the next turn is a 3 gear turn... so u clik the left paddle 3 times.... but nothing will happen.. then a couple hundred feet later when you brake... .. bom... bom.......bom...... your in 3rd and ready to rock and roll.... i did notice the same shift knob thats used in the ALMS M3 car is in the Bimmerworld SPEED TC cars... so i assume the transmission manufacturer is the same... i googled the hell out of it to try to see what sequential trannys they use.. but i guess they dont want anyone to know.... i found nothing.. ive also read that the M3 alms car tranny is oil and water cooled... and did anyone notice in the incar pics that the pole connected to the shifter was going to the back of the car?.. plus those weird air vents behind the doors... what back there could possibly need that much cooling? i think the tranny is located in the rear of the car.... |

there was a hell of a fight last year... 1 race the vettes were even slower then the GT2 cars!.. and they were GT1... gt2 next year is going to be fantastic.... the top ALMS teams are more worried about the M3 then the other 'new' cars... |

And if you think the Porsche transmission is outdated... think again. That was one of the biggest reasons why they took the ALMS championsihp from Ferrari after a disappointing 2007. Which top ALMS teams are afraid of BMW? When they left in 2001 and came back a few years ago (with team PTG) they were NOWHERE near competitive. Hence their switch to Panoz for the time being |
