BMW Battle

Re-read the article. We put both cars on the same tires for the test, not the Vredesteins. 

Ouch!  The whole premise for my original post was invalid.  That's what I get for leaping before I looked.  Sorry, Tim.

I think what I would like to see now is a comparison to an actual "stock" 318is example. Then we would have a good idea of how much improvement was made to get it closer to the M3.

Also, I think an autox battle might be in order.

I think the track width of the m3 might be significantly larger than the iS. That track width would help a ton on a road course but would be much less useful at autox (or maybe even be a negative!)

In reply to Jordan Rimpela :

Which of the VIR courses did this "battle" take place? I'm guessing it wasn't the Full, Grand East, or Grand West.
