THE HPF STAGE 5 DRAG M3 BEAST! Thanks to John, Ryan, ChrisK and Joey!

[HPF Chris]

Our shop worked around the clock to get the HPF Drag M3 built from nothing to what you see in the video (all in time for MFest - barring 3 hours). John, ChrisK and Ryan literally did not go home for 3 days and built nearly all of the drag M3 and track M3 during this time. I truly have a remarkable team and am so thankful that everyone is ok after the accident with our HPF truck and trailer.

They wanted to put a smile on my face today so they insisted on coming to work and pulling both cars out so I could drive them.

beast mode. love the line lock location.

Looks like a beast. One hell of a burn out.

Thought you were going out in the intersection when your brakes locked up.

Oh I'm pretty sure he did.. That's the median coming off the entrance into this shops parking lot they are standing in.

Mean machine!

Nope, we stayed on our property. I was on the brakes nearly that entire road. Crazy how hard it is to stop with 4.5" skinnies. I certainly wasn't planning on it taking that long to stop the car. Next time will be at the drag strip with a parachute.

Here's the HPF Track M3

Looks faster than a 10.5 to me

I don't think anyone expects anything less than 9's.

[HPF Chris]

I don't think anyone expects anything less than 9's.

I ran a 9.76 in my Supra with less power and 1,000 lbs. more weight. ha ha.

Well then, the expectations are being set high....

how much does the drag m3 weigh?

[HPF Chris]

how much does the drag m3 weigh?

approx 2500 lbs.

[Sticky]

approx 2500 lbs.

Oh dear, nobody has a chance against then.

[leo985i]

Wow! only 2500lbs!!! It's gonna be hard to keep that monster beast glued to the ground, better get an ejection seat lmao....

[Square&Level]

Those are some pimp ass church shoes Chris is wearing

[ZooyorQ]

Oh dear, nobody has a chance against then.

Noone was competing in that class (gutted & auto).. keep in mind my M3 weighs 3650lbs w/o a driver.

There is no way to know what this will run based upon anything anyone else has done. Gearing has changed, weight is over 1000lbs less, wheels are proper 15" slicks. In theory with that horsepower and setup a 9 should be had on its very first pass.

We'll see what it does. Obviously nobody would expect a BMW street car to be close but we have a couple on the brink of 8's.

[Sorena]

Sick. But it's not a M3 anymore to be honest.

[Funkboy316]

Sick. But it's not a M3 anymore to be honest.

How so..... Same chassis same s54 motor

[Sorena]

How so..... Same chassis same s54 motor

And a transmission that doesn't belong to BMW. I think it's not a M3 anymore, is it?

[Sticky]

It is no longer a street M3, but a dedicated drag car. There is a separate distinction here now.
