I'd say with your 4.10's it will be close to 60mph, then he'll start pulling "a bit". Those 4l 8's have 420/390 crank hp/tq. I'd say you're at 350-360 crank hp/tq. with a bit(?) less weight. It would be a good race even w/o the nitrous. Definitely video that ****. I know you're a good driver.

Of course if you have the nitrous by then, just gas his *** when he starts to pull.

 

I thought the new M3s were really unbalanced in terms of hp/torque... why do I remember them only having like 295 ftlbs.?

Ahh yep, I thought so:

you're right, I meant 290. with 390 he would definitely need the gas.

It'll be a great race even w/o the gas but I see the beemer pulling from 60-70+.

video that race, we'd LOVE to see it!

 

anyone have any 1/4 mile figures for the m3? I couldn't find it.. saw a 0-60 for 4.8 which is only .1-.3 faster (depending on mag) than a stock GT.. a 4.0L v8 heavier car beating a 4.6L v8 in a straight line would be bad.. except I'm guessing the usual squeezing every last bit out of the engine was done by BMW so our aftermarket will likely quickly make up for it in straight line. BMW's are nice.. just never thought of them as being nice enough to justify their 25% premium over similiar cars.

 

Yeah, i'll get it on video. Funny thing is, i saw him today, and its "im getting it in a few months" instead of "few weeks" now. He has a modded 330ci right now, but he bought it like that and doesn't even know whats done to it. Lol. Its just bolt-ons though, and he won't race me with it, he says my cars faster. Gay.

 

The boys on the bimmer forums are claiming low 12s. So in reality mid to high 12s.

 

watch out - they are made for the top end - very sexy - the bmw forums i've been to after my encounter with a 09 m3 have lots of love for the actually to my surprise

 

since you said he isnt a great driver and your a good driver. without the N20 it might be closer than you think. although from a role he will prob dominate.

 

With spray and him being a new driver to the car, I dont see you having a prob as long as you can drive. Honestly, I was thinking before I took a look at some specs that they were going to be insanely fast. (not that 12s is slow).

 

With spray you should get him. My buddy has an '07 Shelby GT with boltons and he raced a new M3 from 15mph roll and literally was on him till about 70 before the M3 SLOWLY walked on him. They have 400+hp but less then 300 ft/tq and weight 3600 lbs. They launch really well which is why you see such low 0-60 times versus mph in their et.
