Simply wondering because with a simple tune, those cars are over 400HP and quite quick...
It was actually an E92 M3. He had added a supercharger and Brembo BBK. It WAS his first day at that track so I'm sure that had everything to do with it. With an experienced driver, I wouldn't stand a chance - that thing had EASILY 2x the horsepower of my NA.

On the other hand, my friend took his stock E92 M3 on the track for the first time (he's been running at Road America for like 7 years now) and was doing 2:50's and he was babying it. He also immediately boiled his brakes and had to switch to better fluid at the track.

It just shows that Driver mods are the best thing that you can do to improve performance!
