Default Father and Son - German vs. American

So I've been lurking around the forums for a bit, but I figured I'd post up my ride, along with my dad's.

We're both about to do some modding to the cars and see who comes out on top. Recently we did some baseline dynos, with mine hitting about 369hp, and 355 lb. ft at the wheels, and his about 355hp and about the same in torque. His car is a bit lighter, so I think its a pretty close match-up. Only mods to mine currently is the Extreme cooling upgrade.

He's about to install some new charge pipes, intercooler, methanol, intake, to add to the modifications he's already done. He currently runs the Vishnu tuner system, some kind of after-market exhaust (I forget the brand), a Limited slip, and H&R coil-overs.

I'll be doing the Brenspeed stage 3 kit in the next few months, and should put us about even again, hopefully with me in the slight lead.


Anyways, I thought I'd take this opportunity to show off the rides.


PS Ignore the house across the street that looks like its about to collapse . . . I keep hoping one day it will and they'll move.

They're both great cars. I love the color on the Saleen, very unique. And the BMW has a great stance

those are some sick wheels on the e92! Those n54 motors are pretty nasty with downpipes and a tune. i think it will be a pretty close race straight line.

Yeah terry burger i think has the fastest n54. I think vishnu's tunes are safer though. here is terry's website www.burgertuning.com
