I think this is kind of funny. A friend of mine just bought a 1999 Z3 4cyl & he told me that if I roll up beside him at 120 mph he would take me. I'm like Bullshit. Then he says his girlfriend is going to get a Z4 and hers would take me too. I don't think so , but does anyone know how these cars run?

They run exactly like you think they do.

That mini-movie with james brown and a z4 beating the devil in a TA was ammusing, but horse ****.

Nothing to worry about unless you wanna chase them thru the "twisties."

Did I read that wrong, or did he say he wants to start the race at 120 mph? Or does he want to race you up to 120 mph? Either way he's crazy. Maybe he's counting on his speed limiter not kicking in until after yours.

I've got a 98 with a 2.8 (189 hp) . It's a lot of fun in the curves and to mess with ricers but I wouldn't seriously jump a stock ls1 or a modded lt1,not unless i just want a view of the tailights getting smaller. But i'll jump on anything ( pinto to exotic) just to get a rush!

haha speed limiter, thats a good one. i think his is at 130. but ya i ran one last night, it was a joke ive had better runs with 350z's and that saying something

Uhh, the little 4banger Z3's were only capable of 116 m.p.h., so I dunno where this dork is getting 120 from. Their 1.9L engines only produced 140 h.p. and 133 lb-ft of torque. They ran the 1/4 in low 16's and did 60 in just over 8 seconds. Now whether he can get his to run quicker than those magazine and website times or not, it won't matter enough because he's still only capable of a proven 116 m.p.h. top speed.

Now yes, in '01 the Z3's got a little makeover and the engine was bumped up to 2.3L for the base 4banger, but this guy's is a '99, so none of that matters.

Tell this guy you'll race him from 120 m.p.h. anyday.

z4= slow z3= slower on the other hand m3=fast

Skarecrow

The z3 is fast after Q gets done with it. It gets stinger missles too.
