      Well, that was fast. The boost only 1/4 mile record for the E9X M3 barely stood for a week before being broken. VAC Motorsports managed to raise the bar by almost 2 tenths with a run of 11.1@126.99. They also set the new E9X M3 60 foot record breaking BimmerBoost's own 1.781 with a 1.776. Very impressive results for a DCT M3 with a full Fabspeed exhaust, Mickey Thompson drag radials, and a VF620 supercharger kit. Congratulations to VF-Engineering and VAC.

        The M3 rear end is pretty beefy and these cars do not make big crank torque. See, torque is overrated.

        odd. When these cars came out, my friend at the dealer had a rash of M3s with snapped diff covers. Apparently launching them on the street would snap the aluminum ear right off the diff cover.

        Hmm, never heard about that. I can tell you I launched the living $#@! out of my car at 6000+ rpm and never had a diff/axle problem.

        I know of two NA cars local to us that have had that happen. Not sure why only some cars are affected. Both cars where manual.

        Congrats VAC and VF on your 1/4 mile time!!! You are making the world of supercharged M3's more competitive week by week!

        Although, if I had to guess, I would think that Akash will be breaking into the 10's sometime next month!

        A lot of people are on the doorstep. I'm kind of sorry I missed the whole 10 second on stock internals battle. Oh well...
