Supercharged M power vs. turbo M power - Active Autowerke supercharged E92 M3 vs. a tuned F10 M5

[Sticky]

Interesting matchup here that is great to see as two different M engine philosophies battle it out. The M5 is the camera car but unfortunately a cell phone camera is used by the M5. Still, the video is clear so you can see exactly what happens. The modifications on the M5 are a Stage 2 tune that is not named, downpipes, and a custom straight piped exhaust. The E92 M3 is supercharged with the Active Autowerke Gen 2 Level III supercharger system.

On paper this should be a good a race. Depending on how aggressive the M5 tune is along with the bolt ons it can show ~600 whp. Depending on the M3's boost it is also in this range. The M5 of course has much more torque which it also needs to move its roughly 800 extra pounds.

In practice it is a good race as the cars are dead even. They both appear to be DCT models so driver skill is not a large variable. A good run from two fast M cars going about their power boost in different ways.

Driver of the M3 didn't even look old enough to have a license.

why do you assume that just because he's young it's daddy's money? this is what happens when people get jealous, they talk $#@!

[Payam@BMS]

[leveraged sellout]

My bad, I apologize and retract my statement. lived in davie FL my whole life and just way to many kids down here that fit the profile.

Not jealous at all. An my assumption was wrong. Just a lot of kids down here never worked a day in there life until they graduate college and are left with there thumbs up there ass not knowing how to do anything in life but live off the parents.

I just never believed in being rewarded for things that one should be responsible for to begin with is a good thing for work ethic. this isn't the case here and I'm sorry to those who were offended.

This is basically Orange County.

While I was in college this is what I was thinking. Why are you guys here? What are you planning on doing? The answer from most was 'I don't know.' Then they got in their Porsches and Lamborghinis and went home.

We do not know the tune I wish we did. It would be nice to have full specs on each car but we have to ballpark it.

Regardless, this is about what should happen between the two.
