HPF

Goddamn it Chris.

The godliest M3 was on sale for all of 5 minutes. Until Chris said nope, going to keep it.

Horsepower Freaks, aka HPF, tunes a lot of cars. A lot.
The owner/founder, Chris, had an E46 M3 that he worked on and heavily modded until it produced more than 1,000 horses. RHP. As in, in real-life gravity/etc. (on a dyno), it produced over 1,000 real horsepower.

It outran a GTR. Not barely, but by a lot. From both 0-xxxxxxxx to 60-xxxx (rolling start).

It was listed for $50,000.

“Why do you carry your spare key around?”-It’s not my spare. It’s the key to my first car, the first BMW I had, and it’s the only thing I have left that proves I ever owned it.‘Cause frickin’ insurance people came by and towed it off to a junkyard before I could even swap out the parts I had on it with OEM ones after it was totaled.I loved that car. So much, that I got almost the exact same thing. Same model, same color, same year, etc. Only difference? This one’s “not special.”ZHP.

ZHP.

It’s been a full year now, since that crash…Miss my baby still. This ZHP’s faster, rarer, etc. but it’s still not a lot of other things.What’s funny is that the oil/coolant/gasoline/etc. that leaked out that night is still visible - the patch of dirt that it leaked all over is still super dark compared to the nearby area. Pretty sure if I lit wick over it, it’d burn all night.

ZHP sightings

Still on the pursuit of knowledge. Into the exact number of ZHPs built.

The exact number of E46 M3s sold in North America can be found online with some Googling and digging. But BMW never released the figures when it came to how many ZHPs were sold.

Saw a couple E46 M3s in the past couple days. Only 1 ZHP in the past month though. Moderators on various BMW forums generally agree that it’s half of the number of E46 M3s though, whatever that number may be.

Rarity ftw.
