I was one of cars who ran against this M3 at the Trona Airstrip. My 335 is only lightly modded, and made right about 400 WHP on ESS' dynojet. I also have an auto transmission and my car is full weight (including 29 lb rear wheels). It's a far cry from a fast 335. Given the outcome of the race (a dead even tie), and also the fact that I have an M3 on order, I really wanted the supercharged M3 to not just beat my car, but put bus lengths on it. So when it didn't, I was hoping for an excuse/reason. Is there still an reason? This particular M3 dyno'd at 472 to the wheels. How could my 335 keep up? Effect of DA's on a supercharged car vs turbocharged car? Or is this just how fast (or slow) a 535 M3 is?

Good question. I was wondering the same.
