Easily. The biggest problem with the factory brakes is the regular road going pads they install - made of chalk. Yes the calipers are a bit silly, but they'll do the job, and the discs are pretty good. BMW offer a better pad option (Pagid Blue IIRC, or it may be Orange, or of course people source their own), but I think even the standard ones would fair ok over a lap of the NS - in the hands of a proper driver. NS is not really a big brake killer. My friend has been round there with Hans Stuck driving in a standard CSL - they had no brake problems wotsoever

CSL - I wish

I am looking at E46 BMW M3 's as I can't quite raise the cash for the CSL.

Maybe something awesome will happen that will help me raise more cash between now and March but I don't bet on it!

Nice one Paul

Right Click Save Target as

Does show that a CSL is 32 seconds faster! Impressive considering its only 170? odd KGs lighter. I guess its due to better mass centralisation. (weight is taken from the higher points on the car roof-rear screen-bootlid etc)

Also, cars marked with ** are running 'sport tyres', eg Pilot Sport Cups.

Cool, same time as the murcielago, albeit with the cups on. I think I need to get a few more laps under my belt before I get anywhere near that time.

Very good looking car mate and sounds great.
How do they compare to the Audi RS4's m RS6's?.
Sorry for my ignorance, don't know much about the top of the line Audis and BMWs but love em both!
