Keep in mind this is higher than a Mazdaspeed dynos at, and I have raced one to prove it (of course a stock Mazdaspeed).
. Have you run your car in the quarter mile? Or have an idea of what it would run? Man.... I want my car back!

The damage..
I finally took the head off when I got home from work this morning, and saw fist hand the damage that had occured. I just pushed the piston in cylinder #2 up out of the top of the block, and this is the horror of it:
Here were the 1st sings of damage..the MBSP (besides the hole in the block!) :
Debris in oil pan (notice the oil squirter!):
Rod broke at the wakest point:
The rest got beaten to ****, and....who knows!

Here's an interesting example of a connecting rod breaking (or so I assume, piston going, whatever).
"M3s suck"
"your m3 is slow!"
"was that your engine?"
"my parents are gonna be so pissed"
