    @TheSuryade The max you can get to at the end of the Kemmel straight is around 140 – 150 MPH. I think in this video he just touches 150 (which is very good going). I think I got to over 160 MPH (indicated which reads a bit faster than GPS / actual) on the autobahn in my restricted M3.

    Laptime would be even better without that Golf there. Awsome pass of that next car on the outside ;)

    @2885550153 nah man, look on around, I’ve seen videos of 250 GTO owners at track days, but for a good blast round a track the 458 is the best after the F40 :D

    Hi

    I don’t quite understand this video. 3.04 at Spa is slow in M3 DCT. Fast dry time would be around 2.50-52 so unless I am missing something you shouldn’t be teaching a cat to purr let alone a driver to go fast.

    @topgearnut1989 hey man, I mean human car, 250 GTO is dream car, is different…

    599 GTO you can take it when you want and scream the 8000+ rpm V12 cum and than go to ferrari for service when scheduled

    250 GTO you take the most expensive car in the world to take dust in a rich house of a fat man, becouse no one would use that car for what it was enginered…

    Video is sped up! I timed the 2 first mins of the second lap on my stopwatch:
    Video: 2m00s
    Stopwatch: 1m54s

    Good lap, but you’ve a problem with the frame rate of your video ;)

    I am lucky enough to own an E92 M3 myself. I must ask though is the speed limiter restriction removed on this vehicle?

    @alphadawwg
    My 135i is already faster on the same track (best time I did was 2m58), but have video of 3m
    A stock GTR will do about 14s faster!

  20. aznlilhero says:

    what game is this? :P

  21. aceviperx says:

    Audio sync is a little off with the speedo video

  22. alphadawwg says:

    @Justa318i
    true but its money well spent!GTR could be more than 5 sec faster on the same track
    nvm the breaks are rubbish on m3
    check out NISSAN GTR VS GT3 VS BMW M3 PART 1 OF 2
    and its 5ooo cheaper in japan than m3

    @shobin05 In the first 90 seconds there are more than 2 moments where you can tell the traction control was off.
