The dash plaque on the car indicates it’s number 139. Also, a complete set of factory books come with the M3 as well.

These include manual A/C, electric sunroof, and manual rear blinds. To further add to the car’s uniqueness, it also contains a number of rare factory options. The result? It’s showroom fresh and looks as good now as it did in 1990. In addition to the paint, nearly every surface of the car received intense detailing work. From there, the entire car got a new coat of “Glanzschwarz” Jet Black Metallic paint. Starting with the removal of nearly all the body panels, it checked and fixed any signs of corrosion. Once Parkway got ahold of the car though, it worked to make it fit for any Concours. From there it bounced around to three different owners before landing at its last owner in early 2000.
Originally from Bonn, Germany, the M3 made its way to the UK in June 1999. Hudnell's Corvette had a huge advantage going into the straightaways where he could really open it up but would that be enough against Aquino's intimate knowledge of the twists and curves of the track? You'll have to watch the whole video for yourself to see who came out on top.Offered for sale by Parkway Specialist Cars in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire in the UK, it’s about as clean as cars get.
#MOTOR SPORTS EVOM DRIVER#
The two cars duked it out at Willow Springs all day for this edition of Driver Battles to see which would make the best time. Just like Christian's Vette, Paul's Evo X relies on Nitto NT01 tires (275/35R18 front and rear). Perrin sway bars make it more maneuverable while the VIS carbon hood brings down its weight. It makes the most of its power output thanks to Kelford B cams, a Garrett GTX3576R turbo, and an SSP stage 2 clutch. Paul's 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X puts out 400 hp but it's not exactly stock, either. On top of that, he's also brought it out to Willow Springs ten times or more so he knows the track, too. Luckily for him, he has that and since he's owned the car for over four years, he's very familiar with how it runs and handles. Paul Aquino's Evo X is gonna need some seriously skillful piloting if he's going to keep up. However, he's owned it less than a year.Īnd this is only his third track day with it. The Nitto NT01 also gives the Corvette consistent performance at the track not matter if it's in a technical hairpin or straight, flat out speed with the throttle wide open.

Christian's ride also packs an AFE Catback exhaust, a Competition carbon hood, an MGW short throw shifter, Racetech 119 Series seats, DSC Tractive RTS shocks, Brembo ceramic brakes, a Teamtech seven-point harness, and BC Forged RZ05 wheels.Īll of his mods were aimed at making it perform consistently under conditions like these. In the 2019 Corvette Z06, making 650 horsepower and running on Nitto NT01 tires (315/30R18 front, 335/30R18 rear), we have Christian Hudnell.Īnd the fun doesn't stop there.
But first, let's see what we're working with here. But how significant is that difference when one driver doesn't know the track and the other one knows it like a daily commute? When you watch the video, you'll find out. Granted, the cars weigh "a tad" more but you get the general idea. That's more ponies than a new Hayabusa motorcycle makes. Why else would we pit two cars with a 250 horsepower gap against each other? Think about that difference in power for a second. In this edition of Driver Battles, we see the classic duel of raw power versus experience.
