Pretty clear that from any roll it wasn't happening. Both cars had traction issues it seems. Wheel hop, let out, and still come back up top. Impressive
Call me crazy, both of the above M3s are insane. But for a street car, I like pump gas. Z06 has a weight and instant torque advantage.

When are you going to re-run those ESS cars? How much power is your car making? Looking forward to the results.

FWIW you can't run 9psi and 91 without Meth, and you would need at minimum 100 octane. I would say at 7.5psi 91 is pushing it, so the octane is needed, it appears if you want to beat a stock Z, trap 130+, or run a 7 flat 60-130, you would need to run race gas or Meth. Also the ESS car in the vid had a mix of 91 and race fuel, but I doubt it gave him anymore power, more for added protection, and that is a smart move on his part.

Haha, so true! I hear you, many people just want to run pump, but I wanted to go faster.
