▀▄ eas | e92 M3 Project - VF620 Supercharger 60-130 Times - Part Deux

[tom @ eas]

Seems our 7.570 run from last week is already yesterday's news. While enjoying the extended holiday weekend, we were able to break free from presents and eggnog for some more 60-130 runs:

Run #1


Run #2


Runs were getting increasingly better each time, with 7.33 being our best run of the day:

Run #3


Vehicle Specs
Vehicle: 2011 M3, VF620 Supercharged
Fuel: 1/4 tank 91oct, 2 gallons 100oct as safety measure
Transmission: DCT
Exhaust: Akrapovic Evolution, 100cpsi cats
Gearing: Stock

M3 weight, minus driver (weigh-in prior to Eurotuner GP)


It seems the list at 6SO was not updated for a short while (possibly due to holidays) and was not able to register our previous 7.570 entry in time. With our 7.33 run verified and list updated, here's where we place with some other entries (BMW models in bold):

----------------------

Traction is still a problem as the tires are still breaking loose at top of 2nd gear. Once planted, the adrenaline rush from the combination of being pinned into the seat and hearing that awesome exhaust note is something that will never get old.

It's been an exciting couple of weeks for VF. Wiith VAC breaking into the 10s at the dragstrip and our Project M3 moving up 4 places in the 60-130 list, the VF Supercharger systems are serious business.

6s are now the new goal.

Odd that there aren't more Supras on there. That was their claim to fame.

2 sayings come to mind when i come in here

VF, "coming out swinging! "
All the other kits, "everyone has a plan until they get hit "

[Jaypod]

Very impressive!

Haha - you must be a fighter or fight fan. I have always loved the second quote! Totally true too - speaking from experience ; )

[Singletrack]

Congrats to VF and EAS!

That is officially stupid-fast.

Correct, Mikewads currently owns the overall E9X record 6.23s, VT600 with 100 shot, he also currently owns the boost only stock motor, at 6.78s set a year ago, the fastest boost only built motor is Gpower at 6.36s with a 6MT, set over a year ago, that's impressive for a 6MT, but as more people go out and do this, those will eventually fall.

Very solid runs by Tom/EAS and I am impressed with their tenacity / drive to get out there and show what the car can do, although it's not surprising in the least that a 570whp E92 M3 DCT is hitting these times. With the cool weather here in Socal, that car still has more in it.
