First is the 2018 RS3. Crazy little car...! Did a motor and big turbo from IROZ and the car is pulling 5.0s 60-130 on the street with oem tires and full weight. It’s astonishingly fast for a 5cyl 2.5L. I daily drive it and it’s completely useable except that it runs E85 which needs some planning. The IROZ car which is nearly identical did a 4.3s 60-130 with boost on kill mode and a lot of weight reduction. If I can do 4.9s full weight it would be pretty special in my opinion.

Also decided to build the 911tt. Went for a 4.0L John Bray motor but still stock frame turbos. Haven’t done any 60-130 revently but it did 185.5 in the 1/2 which is pretty quick for those turbos. Another car (same build) did a 9.3 @ 150 on MT’s with 4.8s 60-130 so it has potential!

I still am disappointed to not really take the 2nd M5 to its potential. It was on a great path when it got destroyed. I honestly think that car would have gotten to a 4.7s 60-130 at max power and weight reduction.

The crazy part is that these other platforms and possibly the F90 can achieve similar performance on oem tires. On the M5 I could never floor it until 4th gear even on R888’s. These AWD cars are so much more useable.

Anyways, will be back to a BMW at some point but the other German cars are pretty good as well!

Still lurking...
yes bro just got the 19 M5 competition and can tell you its light years ahead on traction......you should definitely ditch the RS3 and come back!
