Loco car is strong but 12.8 for a csl thats modded is not not good when you compare a street legal e36 3.0 that runs 12.6.When you race 400m you dont go for top speed you are racing for time.
I would love to see another customers car (E36, 3.0L) from the same stable running those times. Recently the times which are being accomplished are far and wide if you get my drift. IMO a 3.0L M3 must make min 280fwkw to run that time. So is it possible to make +_65 additional kw's from a 3.0L?? Unless the compresion is raised or unless it's karate juice? If it's possible without raising the compression and with race fuel (not meth) then Chip Logic has unmatched talent. I'm sure Loco isn't ready as yet to strip down his precious CSL motor and that would also apply to 98% of M owners.
I think you are highly confused with what you are saying. The fact that the E36 could run the same time as the E46 is purely based on the traction it achieved on pull off. The power difference between the two can be seen in the 7km/h difference in exit speed. Time is mostly traction in the first 60ft and exit speed is a sign of power.
No George I am not confused but understand your point. I have watched this blue M3 perform for many years now and followed its performance. We dont want to reinvent the wheel so we have to learn from the guys on top. Try racing at Mtuba its difficult unless u learn ur car very well u can b as far as 0.7s off ur cars best. This M3 usually traps higher than 173 it did these kind of speeds years ago so my question is why didn't it run these times earlier. It has also been running the same MT Since last year. So my reasoning is that it should have trapped higher cos the time dropped and it still had the same tyres n weight reduction, if it had more pwr then trap shud have went up even higher than what it normally runs. I might be wrong but this car also did this time on the very first run where IMO The track was still full of debri. If the power is not as high as I think it is then mayb it weighs something like 1300kg then all makes sense otherwise I cannot see the correlation. But again I say well Done to the driver and Chip Logic it took my turbo 1Series with sw to run a
[email protected]. Maybe I must improve my 60ft and I might be able to run a 12.4 with sw only. All I'm saying is that the trap should have been a bit higher more closer to 177-180. Like Loco's makes sense to me.

I will make a new thread tomorrow in relation to the 60ft etc and the relationship between the 60ft, the ET and the exit speed.
A lot of times more power is not the solution to better ET's, in most cases I have to turn boost down on my car to try get a 11 second run in. With the stock turbos I have run 12.3 with 185, 187 and a 189 exit. Quite confusing stuff. Its all in the 60ft thereafter it takes big power to make up time. The M3 probably hung onto 3rd hence the bad exit as they have found the shift to fourth looses too much time. Do not want to go into too many details as guys compete to compete end of the day and everything little details matters.
