I wonder what the redline is? Someone claimed when it was released that it was actually less than the production car, but I find that hard to believe.

I think they should use they M3 OEM front and rear brake system, since they are soooo good.
These specs are probably 90% true. Each camp has to have their own little secrets to make things more interesting and competitive... We shall see how it will do on the track...we shall see... |

Two words: air restrictors. Believe what you will, but my current information is that the ALMS motor will not rev higher than the production motor. |

Its a reasonable claim, and your contribution is of course appreciated. Its just that without an official source its not of much practical use to me.

Me: "Yeah I here the race car will only rev as high as the production car." Others: "Really, where'd you read that?" Me: "An internet forum." Others: :Hearty Laughter: Its really kinda funny that you are having a hard time understanding that people aren't just going to take your word and getting all hurt. Bye. |
