Lap time
Laguna Seca: RL. 1:56. I don’t know if it was a flying lap or not. And the M3 that was used had an aftermarket Cat-Back. K&N air filter and Koni Street tires.

My 1st lap was 1:49. My best flying lap was 1:44. Stock.

FM5 M3 is the Euro evolution version, not the USDM version . Kinda not fair, lol.

I did not know that! Thanks for filling me in
