The 113MPH trap speed indicates 335WHP vs. crank/BHP. I'm super curious to see Dynojet numbers.

The irony is palpable..

There's no proof that is the build guide for the C8. It's all still speculation, and one of the angles is it's rather a farewell or final edition of the C7.

Are there any details on what actually failed? Looks more like an oil or fuel line failure vs. windowing the block.

Based on what? :crazy: The delta between the slowest lap drifting around corners with a passenger (2:02.125), and the quickest solo driver on a composed lap flat-out everywhere possible (1:59.167) is 2.958 seconds. It is hardly realistic (to put it politely) to expect another 5-6 seconds to...

The quickest lap was 1:59.167 and if you average the 4 quickest (no passenger and little sliding) it comes out to 1.59.456. What struck me is how slow some of the manually-commanded shifts were -- almost a full second on a few. There was also some 'interesting' audio mixing going on with a...

Got it, thanks! Was curious if it was actually 3L2 or similar, since it appears that way in many of the pics. Obviously impossible to differentiate in pictures alone unless they're side by side.

Ah.. He mentioned severe traction issues, but I missed the videos.. Were they on IG or elsewhere? Big broom, lumpy rug... ;)

Thanks, that gives me a little more hope with respect to the ZF's abilities. Mod details are rather sparse between his IG and protuningfreaks posts. I was also hoping to find dyno graphs and timeslips, but no luck so far. 132MPH traps don't jive with 670WHP but in another post he mentioned...

Is that car an M6 or A8? I can't tell from the IG posts.

Has the paint code for Ren Red 2.0 been released? Anyone have a pic of a RR2 MKV next to a RR MKIV (3L2)?

Great, it's so easy then, right!? Curious.. How many 1000+ WHP N54's are there? How many are running 190MPH in the 1/2 mile and/or 160MPH in the 1/4 mile reasonable trap speeds given the power/weight)? How many 1000+ HP anything with a ZF8?

"B58 STOCK bottom-end" It's not far fetched, it's a completely absurd to purport that "1000hp will be very doable" on stock pistons, wrist pins, rods, crank, main caps, oiling system, etc... Irrespective of "stock" or aftermarket, the internet, youtube, etc.. has grossly skewed the...

You're living in a complete fantasy land. What gives you even a shred of credibility to make such an assertion?

Nice tax write-off to start the year. :thumbsup:

I read somewhere many years ago that the MKIV dash was 'inspired' by the C4.

Allegedly the new M3 will offer a 454HP manual trans option. :hmm: https://jalopnik.com/the-2020-bmw-m3-will-get-a-pure-454-hp-rear-wheel-drive-1831866862?utm

FWIW, there's a lot more headroom in the USDM turbos and fuel system. I did 468WHP 509TWQ and 11.3 @ 125MPH when BPU. With a single 6266 and 100% stock fuel system it put down 560WHP (backed down to a 'safer' 545WHP -- A/F still 11.6) and went 11.0 @ 130MPH with clutch issues preventing a...
