The guy with the M3 is a friend of mine. I didn't want to let the secret out of the bag for him as I am sure he is hating that turbo right now. The M3 boys are living it up on the M3 forums right now so let them have their fun. He sent his car off to the turbo shop for some new internal.
Here is a question for you smarty guys. The race was pretty close and I had a passenger (230lbs camera mount). Would that weight be enough to change the out come? I didn't think it would make that big of a difference from a 60mph roll on.
If losing the extra baggage isn't going to help... I think Mr. Whipple can. :rofl
a 230lb passenger would have been 1 - 1.5 car lengths imo. also having the optional wheels might have been .5 a car length.
