Wow. Pulled pretty good with that Porsche! There's a TT Porsche 997 that used to go to the track with me and that was an absolute ROCKET! Would love to see this M3 in person.

It's a half mile from cone to cone. We went from ~50-165+MPH Long enough for me for sure.

There is a mistake in the Mod description, the ESS VT650 Arkym does not have an innovative xpipe / exhaust, it is running the new Arkym Valvetronic Exhaust and catless xpipe.

That 997 should be making a little more than 600 at the wheels. If i'm correct he's running Champion 63.5mm vtg's, their smallest billet turbos. Stock rods have been known to bend on those motors around the mid 6xxawhp range. That 997 does have more torque and a little more hp, but it's hard to compete with that DCT. Now, if that 997.1 were a 997.2 and had PDK, it might've been a different story. I was surprised that m3 held up so well. This arkym car really made a point for the m3's at this event.
