Went to pick up dog food. On the way back in my rear view I see a slammed silver BMW. It's approaching fast. I drop gears. I'm in third at 5k rpm and waiting for him. He pulls up beside and we go. 7k, shift into fourth, full throttle and homie is already three cars ahead. I'm looking at my cluster to make sure I don't have an epc light or some shit, nope. Car is moving fast. Looking ahead BMW is now bus lengths away.... So that ends. I end up catching up once we let off. Give the dude a thumbs up, he does the same. I ask him how much power he is pushing, he says 800. Oh OK. That makes sense.

Yeah modded M4 are no joke. This is a buddy from works car, ran 9.6 last year with hybrid turbos on it around 750whp.
Switched to a big single and working on tuning it now, should be 1,000+ whp & the goal is to go high 8s.

Well, a car that is $100k and starts at 500hp should be stiff competition for even a modded VW.

Yep I’ve been watching lots of crazy fast bmws on Auto Glory channel.

$73k, but plenty are heavily optioned. Closer to $65k with Euro Delivery. I’ve been shopping a cloth, manual M3 with Euro Delivery while I semi-patiently wait for VW to build me another R.
Oopsie, ED was discontinued two years ago. Back to MSRP and the annoying dealers.
Same, they are so insane fast on that channel.

Stock block or does he have some engine work done to it?

Yeah, it's definitely going to haul some serious ass now. I'd imagine he is going to use slicks?

He has smaller brakes on all four corners & skinnies/bead locks getting slicks.
It’s zero expense spared. Clutch pack upgrades, fuel system, adjustable coilovers, adjustable LC anti lag, equal length twin scroll manifold with dual gates, my quick disconnect 3.5” titanium charge pipe, 3.5” DP, 4” intake.
Had the world record for stock block, until he sold that setup and re installed it on a friends car and re set the record with it.

Awesome! If I ever hit the lottery, I'm torn between getting the RS3, TTRS, and the M4.
I see he has the same skinnies as me. What tires does he have on them?
No, I have a hybrid turbo. I can't lose. That's what the internet has taught me.

Hmmm I’ve only learned how to search for boobs. I’m on the wrong internet.
Lottery? Twin turbo R8, no question.
Used F-series M4s are relatively cheap now, you can get a setup like Jake's friend originally had for not much. Hybrid turbos, clutch packs, fuel system. Honestly surprised they're targeting 8s, RWD BMW usually can't launch well enough to really take advantage of that much power on a dig.

I don't know how I totally forgot about the R8. Yes, definitely a boosted R8 would be my first pick.
