possible to beat M3 and C63??

I don't understand. Jnaut and ZEliminator did not run their times under "perfect conditions" - they were able to consistently run mid-low 12s with their current setup. You make it seem like these kinds of times are flukes or something. Not sure why you're trying to discredit the car, exactly.

And it's not like I'm saying it's beastly in stock form. I'm specifically talking about a modded car like theirs.

Maybe we just look at beastly differently. Hanging with stock cars that you are in the price range of with mods is not very impressive to me.

Just as a note-- ideal conditions can mean a lot of things. I think running in FL helps a lot with times. My S trapped almost 5mph faster in southern GA than it does up in VA... just saying.

Also, having guys like Jnaut driving is an "ideal condition". Put him behind the wheel of the M3, and it will likely lay a better time.

Another alternative would be picking up like a 5.0 mustang with a supercharger. Or a mustang + a turbo s2000.

Not exactly, just in that range. What about if you bump the range up to $100k (which is hopefully what my next car purchase will be) with the possibility of a beater DD car. My personal choices are new GT-R or used Lambo/Ferrar/R8. What do you think?

Is better times in FL due to elevation, weather conditions, or something else?

I honestly wouldn't buy any of those cars. Let's discuss further in the conference room, as to minimize thread derailment.

Better times mostly due to elevation.
