Video: AMG ETR HPF M3 1/4 Mile @ Eurowarz
 
Hey Guys,
Made the 3 hour hike (each way) to Bradenton Motorsport Park yesterday for Eurowarz and an eventful day it was! Car ran solid the whole way over there and I made 5 passes. 2 on pump fuel and 3 on pump + meth. It was 85 degrees out, I am running the stock conti 255 tires (at stock pressure) and I had a passenger in the car for each run. The first thing I saw when I got there was an Audi drop its subframe so there would be no launching for me (as you can see by the terrible 60' times)! Unfortunatly after the 4th run I dropped a cylinder :yikes::cry: and had to drive 200 miles home on 5 cylinders :( Luckly after some teardown and diagnosis today its looking like the coilpack in cylinder 3 went bad and a new one tomorrow should fix it :woot:. The funny thing is on the 5th run (not really knowing it was down a cylinder) I still ran a 12.9@115 on 5 cylinders lol (I'll post a video of that soon). Hopefully its fixed tomorrow, was quite scary! Thanks to Chris@HPF for answering his cellphone tomorrow about the issues!!
Anyway enjoy the video:

PS- Thank you to the really hot Highlands Sheriff chick who didn't give me the 95mph in a 60mph ticket :)

Good to hear it is not anything major.
Sounds to me like you need better tires. The Conti's do not rate against the competition out there.

Good luck and sweet M3
