Usually 2-4, but half the fun is to meet other sports car owners, some of them are spending all there Money on the car, and if something goes wrong they have to go to therapy

Ahhhhh stock exhaust. These and the Turbo S vid now make sense.

Good stuff Per, always appreciate your airstrip vids. I'm not surprised by the MP4-12C result, but the 458 I would have thought you would pull that, as well as the PDK Turbo S. I've ran a 458, it wasn't that close, and a Tuned/Exhaust PDK Turbo S, and pulled that as well in my VT625, that made ~580whp, regardless good vids.

It was not me racing the 458, it was Another ESS VT-625 sedan car,mine is catless and a little faster.
But my new m3 is not so strong as my last manual m3 that i chrasched, this made 555 whp, and my old one made 585, strange it is the same kit..

I am thinking more like 560ish. I remember seeing EAS 550kit dyno putting down 510ish...my car put down 476 before car was fully adapted...

i was looking at 18 percent loss but that could be little high 15-18 is pretty standard. by the way your car is sick.

They (ESS 625's) put down 520-530 with stock exhaust.

The ESS 550 owned by Anders that made 510 on the EAS dyno day has the MRF catless mid-pipe. Same one esquire and I have.

I got the mastermind race xpipe(catless) cuz I remember seeing e90 m3 with 535 kit put down 540 on eas dyno. Yes 540rwhp with ess vt1 535 kit. He had arquay exhaust. Honestly, i will be happy with 500-515rwhp.

I am surprised that E90 ran neck to neck against 458 though.

Gotta remember that on a race like these, the non-intercooled VT1's will start losing power in the upper gears at the IAT's rise. That's why I was able to tie two of them with my stock turbo bolt on 335.

The dyno only shows you the power it puts down in perfect conditions. Do 15 pulls in a row going from gears 2 through 6 on the dyno and I will put money down that it would drop to something like 75 to 100 RWHP.

They key in races like this is to keep power as constant as possible by preventing IAT's from rising, i.e. intercooler and water/meth injection.
