supercharged m3 vs stock gtr

I just ordered ess vt-1 550 kit for my 2009 e92 m3 with gintani catless x-pipe. I have never driven a supercharged m3, but have driven GTR and know how fast it is. Stock m3 is reletively slow, at least thats what i feel now after driving my car for 5 years. Even tuned with catless pipe.
So, i was wondering, can i outrun stock GTR late models with vt-1 kit and catless x-pipe? Please discuss

i would bet a late model GTR is still faster. i think you need a 600Kit to really give it a run. and thats from a rolling start.

If you have DCT and you run 93 octane gaz you should be right where a stock GT-R is(in good D/A)!

Why in the world is the GTR driver doing a top end run with the window all the way down? May not have changed the outcome but geesh man, just a little common sense won't hurt.

Haha speaking of running with the windows down, here's me running with my windows down the entire event. It was hot dammit! lol pretty stupid actually.

Anyway run 4 is against a stock 2013 GTR. At the time I was running the base ESS 625 kit. I would think a 550 kit would make it a close race as long as temperatures weren't hot.

If 550 kit will make my car as fast as late model GTR, sounds great to me.
I have driven GTR, and i much rather be in M3, hands down, much better place to be in. Not to mention, if i trade my car for one, it will cost me more than $60K i think.
