How the hell do you honk the horn and lose the jump??

The driver of the M3 should be shot..

How did he lose at all. Jump or not.

Those cars don't make much power. Even with a ECU upgrade.

they are torque monsters when they are equipped with tuned ecu chip. you'll be amazed how much torque they get with just tuned ecu chip. close to +100???

This is their power specs:

Power: 125 kW , 168 HP SAE @ 6,000 rpm; 166 ft lb , 225 Nm @ 4,500 rpm

How the hell did the M3 lose? Come on. I don't buy an ECU upgrade. Maybe he has a big boost turbo or something.

Or the M3 was "very short" shifting.

Bad driver, he should have hit the gas sooner after the 3rd honk

I would think he should have caught up though?

He went on a 3, 2, 1, go count ("go" having it's own interval) rather than going on 1 which is fairly standard. Additionally, it looks like he started in 2nd below 4k RPM - which would cause him to have a less than desirable acceleration on the already late "go." For those reasons, I'm not sure we could speculate who would have won.

If I were him I would have started at 5k RPM in 2nd. Not trying to defend "the almighty M3," as the Volvo looked quick. But I would think it would AT LEAST be dead even.

i'm pretty sure that's an s60R, which is 300hp stock and probably close to that in torque stock. but i believe it's a twin turbo, so w/ a chip i bet they could be pretty formidable.
