if you cant launch, go from a roll. you got for sure as long as you arent a horrible driver. he stock? auto or stick on his car?

im pretty sure BMW 7 series are all autos, right?

lol 310 hp stock?? , you have more HP than that, and if I can only think of another advantage you have?? Ohh maybe you weigh 1/2 a ton less?!

OF COURSE GO AND RACE HIS *** AND SMOKE HIM! besides, even if you weighed the same and made the same HP to the engine, youd still put more horsepower down to thew wheels.

there ya go sonicboom.

and true, a little practice wouldnt hurt. try and get a tank of gas worths of $$ out of it

Yeah, I saw that but only the 740iL came with a V8. The 750iL was only available as a LWB V12.




Yes, 5-speed automatics (and they aren't really geared for performance).

Either way, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I used to have a 750iL and trust me when I say you should have no problem taking him apart with a Z28.

this race will be real close. your ls1 needs a cam and springs to be fast/like the ms3 cam good luck.

SonicBoom

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, sounds good but it was only 326hp and 360tq. If I recall correctly, 0-60 was listed at around 6.6 seconds. Like I said, it's a luxury sedan with good power but by no means a sports car; Z28 would dominate it in a race.

and you should have no problem kickin his ***.

406malibu

care to elaborate? ls1 is already going to be faster. dont need a donky dick cam to go fast. in fact a lot of smaller cams outperform a MS3.

You will absolutely obliterate his ***. lol

MikeW72

I think you be able to take him, although you cant really sleep on the BMW's my buddy's got an 02 545i 6 speed pretty sick car puts down similar numbers than the ls1 but there a little heavier than the f-bodys.

I dont know if they made the 750il in 2000 ill ask my buddy hes a bmw guru

better make sure the BMW doesn't exceed the per axle weight limit of the road you're racing on.....but seriously, you should walk him fairly easily.

I don't think you'll have a problem as long as you don't screw up the launch or miss a shift. Whats with people in the sedans wanting to race f-body's? Someone at work wants to race me in the Lincoln LS he just got. The salesman told him it beats mustangs so he thinks he can take me.... not even worth my gas to race him.

i am a 8 yr master BMWtech.

They did make 750il in 2000. they were v12 that were nothing special. still had cap and rotors.

Now if it were the new 760 than it would be a very close race. If it were a 135/335 than you better bring your lunch and know how to drive.

If you race to the 1/4 you got him. BMW are not known to 1/4 mile. They run better from 60 -150.

He is only producing about 270ish. the new V8 put out around 360 in a 7. if it is v12 than I have no clue.
