The standard production M3 has 420hp too. You could always buy one of those and strip it out.

Sunday I'm supposed to be fitting a garage door electric opener.


Bugger - if I'd have remembered it was on I'd have sorted things here for next weekend
When's the next one?

You nearly lost it at 90 seconds in I see
Seems much easier to drive near the limit, certainly moreso than the Nissan GTR... these can be quite rear snappy if you get on the power too early out of bends... in fact I now just treat the Nissan like its a rear wheel drive car...

LOL - you hit the nail on head - there was no tension, no sense of nearly losing it as the car was so responsive and intuitive. In other cars that slide could have created an ooer moment, a momentary hesitation on throttle and then an almighty slide.

As you can see I drifted it and kept my toe firmly planted.

Very easy to drive at the limit.
