One guy had a 2:39 with a modded M3 DCT on scrubs. Klammer is the only modded E9X M3 that has run a 2:3X time at Road America, and that took him years to accomplish. Again, I don't know why anyone who ran a 2:51 claiming to go flat out with no traffic, should be ashamed.

Why are you still arguing? Do you realize how much difference there is between 2:51 and 2:39? Like a year in track times. The guy in the vid (and you) are running times that are pretty good for 120hp cars, and road america is one of the most power-biased road courses in the country (meaning 120hp racecars there are at even more of a disadvantage than elsewhere).
Nobody is trying to insult you or insult the driver in the vid, it is just factual that a 2:51 is nowhere close to F8X M4 capabilities. For reference, a typical spec miata time at VIR is roughly 7-8 seconds slower than a near stock E9X M3 in the hands of a very fast driver (2:20 and 2:13 ish).
