Does any M3 come with R compound tires. Really Pflug, R COMPOUNDS?!?! LAUGHABLE BUDDY. Yeah, they beat the M3 at Laguna Seca with a Boss, with fuckin race tires. Are you actually surprised by that? If you want to race actual race cars, why don't they take the boss 302 vs the M3 GTS??? How does the competition compare to the Boss? The competition package on the M3 adds 0 hp, yet the Boss edition adds 25 hp, yet they are the same type of package? DCT matters only for a novice? Again, a moronic comment. The DCT also adds another gear, I know you don't understand the concept of gearing, but 1 more gear means more power to the ground, whether you're a pro driver or not.

Geez, you can’t read and/or know nothing about cars.

The Boss comes with STREET tires: Pirelli P Zero
The Boss Laguna Seca comes with R-Compounds: Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires

As for DSG vs. Manual in the M3:

What you don't understand is that a pro driver can "beat" the electronic nannies in a car. The manual gives a pro full control, which can be beneficial. Frankly, the Boss is 2 seconds faster around Laguna Seca and a DCT isn't going to overcome that. If the DCT was significantly faster, why did BMW test a 6 speed manual around the Ring?

And before you quote a WRONG link:


As its hot shoe, Ford brought 2010 Rolex 24hrs Daytona GT class winner Jonathan Bomarito, so we took the opportunity to gather some hard data on what the Boss could really do. Bomarito and the Boss knocked out two hot laps at 1:40.4 and 1:40.2.

How fast is that? Well, we compared those times against a few vehicles from our MRLS lap-time database and were astonished. With a professional racing driver behind the wheel, the 2009 BMW M3 that competed in our 2008 Best Handling competition clocked a 1:42.9. In our 2009 Best Driver's Car competition the 2010 Shelby GT500 lapped in 1:44.3 while a 2010 Audi R8 did it in 1:40.8. This puts the Boss 302 in a very elite field, and it's not the fastest Boss. According to Ford, Bomarito lapped the Boss Laguna Seca under 1 minute and 40 seconds.

Jason, that Boss had r compounds on it for those lap times. It may not come with them, but that's what it had when getting those times.

Where's the proof? The Boss comes with street tires.
