How awesome is that?

Stock suspension and a novice driver (me) vs lighter M3 with KW Clubsport and bunch of other suspension work and a good driver (Malek) haha yeah made me wanna swap cars.

i meant it the opposite, that MRF car is built for the track and a beast if it's the one i'm thinking of. i think it shows that an ESS car can do well on a track and not blow up like most people think forced induction cars will.

I don't think it will blow up, but on a hot day, it definitely needs a better cooling option for the intercooler than it currently provides. A double heat exchanger option with a trunk-mounted coolant box would make a huge difference.

Ok I'll take that as a compliment

but to be fair Big Willow is a fast track so yeah I'm gonna pull away hard on the straights against a 400 wheel car.
