Looks like PG is stirring the pot in AMG territory!

I'm not sure I understand your comment. Are you asking if I am Sticky? If you search car forums, you'll find my handle strewn across a number of them including here (wasn't enough traffic back when I had my M3), e46fanatics, mbworld, rennlist, northamericanmotoring, etc. One thing that puts "sand in my vagina" is when folks can't be civilly competitive and make all of us owners look juvenile.

Since when did a 435 GT3 997.2 become 502 HP?? We are talking production car numbers. Are you talking about the GT3 cup car??

Why on earth would PencilGeek's street driven M3 be compared to a not-street legal race track cup car with limited restricted, catalysts etc.?

Convenient that you nearly doubled the drivetrain loss from PG's car (15% loss) when you said what the GT3 would put down. They both have nearly the SAME crank hp, so why is it that all of a sudden the GT3's drivetrain loss in you calclulations becomes almost TWICE that of a another front/rear layout car?? If the GT3 were a F/R, it would STILL put down ~440-450 rwhp.
You failed miserably at that since you didnt keep the drivetrain losses in check.

FYI- Panamera Turbo, Front/rear layout AND AWD puts down 418 HP to the wheels.
