On Track: Supercharged BMW E46 M3 vs Porsche 911 GT3 RS

[@dcaron9999]

Love the sound of the E46/M3 and that differential whine is sweet music.

Thanks for the feedback!

[@HemiMike]

Your best video to date! Thanks

[@christianbeaudry-spicez]

Great video. Wish I would have seen this before the time attack on june 20th. Would have helped me figure out the track faster.

[@M3trackcar]

At time attacks it's practically cheating having it be the street class. I love how long they last too, given the fantastic grip and resistance to losing chunks.

Nice!

Very good to see a SC that actually works on the track without overheating. I wish that was the case down here in Florida. Good video.

[@M3trackcar]

Thanks for your comment. It took a lot of work not to have it overheat, and eventually I got tired of watching my temp and oil gauges all the time. The car is now back to being N/A. I'll know this week how much I'm going to miss the extra power. ;)

[@GeorgeLRazor]

Damn, I was hoping you were the one that figured it out. Yeah, that's why I never put money into a SC. I was passing by all the SC cars on the track since they were experiencing heat issues. Even GTR's can only really get a few good laps down here before they start to cook.

I was pretty close though, and had a lot a track time that was trouble-free. I never had a problem at the big tracks like MOSPORT, but we have one small track that was always problematic. I couldn't hang close to 8,000 rpm like I do when I'm N/A either, I would shift early to avoid prolonged high-RPMs. The times were quick though, so I'd say it did the job with a bit more hassle. ;)

[@M3trackcar]

@@DMRMOTORSPORT It might have, yes...but that was 6 years ago. lol :) The supercharger has since been removed, and recently I got back to my original lap time without the supercharger, the wing, or the splitter on the car. Seems like improvements somewhere between the driver's seat and the steering wheel were warranted. ;)

@EVOLUTION M3s and Caymans have to be some of the absolute best track cars out there. Love my M3 too. 🤙

[@M3trackcar]

I couldn't be happier with my 4.10. The noise is unbearable on drives to tracks that are 3-6 hours away, but it's worth it!

[@Stolo17]

RS3 is such a good tire
