ESS BMW M3 Wins Against Tuned Panamera, Loses Against 1500HP GT-R

Russia, the place where everything is possible. Where else can you drive down the street and almost get run over by a tank? Where else can you mind your own business and all of a sudden be hit by a wandering truck tire?

It seems wonderful, doesn't it? Well, that's just one side of Russia. The other side is filled with luxury, fast cars and drag races. One of the most popular channels on Youtube by car aficionados is DragTimes.

It was launched a couple of years back and features clips from a drag racing championship held usually twice a year. Watching this channel you'll get the chance to see some of the fastest cars in the world.

In one of their latest videos we got the chance to witness an ESS tuned BMW M3, fitted with a VT2-700 supercharger system, or so they claim, despite the fact that ESS's top VT system at the moment is the 650 one.

According to the same channel, the M3 is now churning up to 750 HP and we tend to believe them. How else could it win against a 700 HP Porsche Panamera? This win was impressive but the little M3 had a couple more battles to fight.

Unfortunately all the cars it had to face had 1000 HP or more, so winning was no longer an option but ending the races with its head held high was. So, the M3 lost in front of the fastest car ever to enter the Dragtimes circuit, an 1500HP Nissan GT-R but it's still a remarkable car.
