You’d better hold on to your seats ladies and gentleman because we’re in for quite a ride today. Today we’re looking at a couple of extremely powerful rides going all out for ... fun?
The challenger is a BMW E92 M3 featuring an ESS VT3-750 supercharger kit that took the S65 4-liter V8 engine up to a mind blowing 711 WHP and a ton of torque. The 7-speed DCT gearbox was also probably given new software to deal with the ludicrous amounts of power.
On the other hand we have a legendary car racing. We’re talking about a Ford GT whose 5.4-liter V8 was taken up to 800 WHP from the stock 550 HP and 678 Nm (500 lb-ft) of torque, thanks to a Whipple supercharger. Unlike the M3, the GT uses a manual 6-speed gearbox that might be tricky to use when you have 3,200 hoofs to control.
Since both cars have ludicrous amounts of power going to the rear wheel, the drivers decided the race should have a rolling start from 50 mph (80 km/h) and should be 1/2 mile long (800 meters). Even so, the proceedings didn’t take more than 20 seconds and we now have a winner. A surprising winner, if we can say so. Check it out!
