Very impressed from the results. M3s are great cars I always say it but when it comes to traction thats when im very hesitant.

If less than that figure there is no way a E46 is gonna hang with the TT. Another thing I'd like to mention is that I think the TT is Manual with some dude that shifts quite slow and the M3 is SMG. If the TT was Tip, it would've gained on the M3.

totally...i def think that car has at least 500 RWHP to the 997TT's ~430 plus its prob lighter and the 997TT driver didnt look like he could shift very well. driver error i def think came into play.

very nice m3

The VFE M3 is mine, appreciate the props guys. The car is putting down approx 450WHP, the 997TT owner could def drive or "shift", lol, there were several other runs which I didn't include bad starts, etc. but I can assure you as the speeds increased I pulled more, a Tip most likely would not have caught up either, but we have a friend with one I'll try and do another comparo with him. Chip on the TT and it's a whole new ball game.

I too would take the 997TT over my M, not really the point of the vid though.

The 450 was a guess, could be more. What does a 997TT make to the wheels, 390AWHP?

Do you have the VF kit on your car?

Yes, I have the EVO/VF kit on mine as well with suncoast headers, CH exhaust, and the RSS plenum.
