Default Isf vs M3 at NE dragway

I got a chance to line up with a new M3 a couple times last week at the track and was very surprised with the results. I know the M3 is considerably faster and was expecting him to smoke me after my buddies blue one ran an 11.2 on me last year. I watched him make a few passes and couldn't break 12.5 so I figured I'd get a nice video of us racing lol. I ran a 12.2 @116mph and he ran a 12.7@118mph with a DA of +1000

I've always thought the M3 would beat the IS-F until I saw this. Good run!

C'mon now, full disclosure: 1) the m3 had a terrible 60' (massive wheelspin), and, 2) a 2 mph faster trap speed than a modded Isf.

Nice run a wins a win but this is classic case of driver mod not the car. Either inexperienced driver or he doesn't know to properly launch his M3 or a combination of both.

Nice Run! Any mods on the M3? I think with a DA of +1000, the advantage goes to the M3 since it's forced fed.

Full disclosure? M3's are considerably faster I stated that but that particular driver couldn't launch his car to save his life. I thought that was pretty obvious in the video.
