1M Susi lol a secret admirer.

Amazing, your skills and persistence are admirable!

Nice run!

Advevo you are a great driver but you need to yell: "Nemesiiiiiiiiiiiis!!" to improve driving skills

Porsche vs Mustang

That "Nemesiiiiiiiiiiiis!! video" is pretty funny.

Advevo, if I remember right one of your 1Ms is stock, if it is completely stock like weight, suspension, enginewise, then why don't you try a Nurburgring time. I would take yours over von Saurma's (8.15) any day. Never trusted that particular test result or BMW'S claims (always political with the 1M in terms of performance, power, torque, always underrrated), it is on paper slower than a lot of cars that are curiously slower in almost any other track than the 1M which is suspicious. Seriously, I am not gonna believe that a 1M is really slower than a Renault Megane Trophy or Z4 M coupe or a E60 M5 on any track that I heard of, stock to stock, driven by the same pilot same day, unless there was something going wrong with that particular date, driver or test car. You have already been there and we have watched the video, but you were just playing with a tuned M3 CSL, trying to stay with him, now try it one more time for real, whenever you can and film it. My guess is you will easily and repeatedly do a sub 8.10 time.

In fact, it is just me trying to watch yet another awesome video from you

[Advevo]

problem on the Nring that it is very busy. Lots of traffic and motorcycles. You need free track for that. That s hardly the case there.

All i can tell you for know is. I drove back from the ring together with a CSL. We did lot s highway acceleration from 100 km to 255km both cars are equal fast there is nothing in it power wise in the real world.

1M has wider tires, bigger brakes, Better suspension. But is a little bit heavier.

It will do a 7.50 on Pilot sport Cups in the 1M size. Same time as a CSL i have never doubt that.

7.50 with only Pilot sport cups and stock set up?

Or with the JRZ/Eibach damper/spring combo?


Is it faster with better suspension compared to stock?

I'd pay good money to see that going down on the ring! Although I doubt BMW/M will support nor endorse it.

That's what I also think. Maybe a magazine will do a seperate test one day, happened before with other cars or we Forum members come together and finance someone like Advevo to do that I am not well knowledged about the Ring rules, but I assume that you can buy free track time if you have deep enough pocket.

Nice

[///M1]

Let's all chip in and reserve the Ring for an Advevo private 1///M session

[ozinaldo]

First we need info from our Ring regular members; how can it be done and for what cost. Second, Advevo must be in and tell us himself that would/could do that. After that we can start counting the volunteers to contribute, I am confident that there will be enough interested people in this Forum to make that happen.

[Artemis]

If Sebastian Vettel is reading: feel free to pop in too at The Ring as ace for Advevo's 1M.

I think that will cost us about Eur90k, plenty of members on here to pitch in

I think we should make an appeal to our E9x M3 bretheren. I can see them falling over themselves to pitch in!!!




That said, I'm willing to drop 100 Euro to make this happen for AdVevo. I'm going to be in Germany in June, so if we can do it at that time, I'll double my contribution!

[ozinaldo]

Another 100 Euro from me and I guess we can get the rest of that 90K from 1M SUSI

Joking aside most important to hear is what Advevo feels about it. We can also ask some magazine(s) to be a sponsor, there might be someone among us who has a friend on the board of one magazine which might find the idea making an interesting story. Just thinking. Any other ideas?

Good ideas! The editors at Jalopnik are fans of the 1M and they are getting a lot of visibility now. I can drop them a line asking what we could do in terms of sponsors etc.

If we make it a bit more interesting by throwing a TT-RS, Cayman (S/R) into the mix, I can see this generating a LOT of buzz.

You know Audi is now making a limited edition TT-RS+ (as in PLUS HP).

I thought the TT-RS plus had the same HP but was lighter?

Sort of a fat CSL

TT-RS+ has +20 PS more than the standard TT-RS(plus more Tq curve). 360 vs 340 PS DIN. 0-100 kph w/DSG in 4,1 sec's. Top speed (electronic limited) now to 280 kph, instead of 250 kph. Base price 60,600 euros before any options. I don't know IF it is lighter or not. I think Audi pulled a fast one to have bragging rights over the 1M.

It is heavier like 25 kgs from the normal RS, because of additional standart equipment, that's what I read somewhere. At the end, "plus" changes nothing from the basic fact that it is just a very fast little coupe which doesn't feel like a sports car, because it just doesn't have the fundamentals for it. Amazing engine, nice quality and good looks all yes, but I doubt any 1M (or a Cayman R) owner would trade their car for this. Audi seem to be following their usual faulty logic of "hp pissing wars" instead of giving something really fundamental to the enthusiasts. By the way, that plus version probably matches the 1M better in terms of engine performance, we all know why.

I would love to read a story and watch videos of a Nurburgring battle between these 3: a 1M, a Cayman R manual without the carbon ceramic brakes kit option and a TT RS (plus or not) also manual; all stock, same driver same day, even better if they could be fitted with the same brand and category tires in order to prevent future whining. Three different cars, one battle, winner takes it all, at least a lot of respect. Optional competitor: put a Lotus Evora S also in the battle. That would be a story.

Keep in mind the TT-RS sold in the USA is 360hp, not 340hp. Audi brass felt the 340 was not enough for us Yanks. So the TT-RS Plus in Europe is the essentially the same tune as stock US cars (the latter only offered in manual tranny).
