Im not on here much but i do work at a BMW dealer and drive the M cars alot.

They put down 407hp crank and like 296tq, so u should whoop it if u keep traction. Most likely hell have M mode on, is it a new SMG model or 6spd manual? Dont get me wrong they do hold there own, but over priced car just like all the other M cars.

Do a $500 race or tell him best outta 3 for 1k$.

What kind of race? Dig, roll - to what mph? How are you going to determine who really won?

In my experience, 95% of talked about $1000 races never even get the 2 guys in the same place at the same time with their cars, never mind actually run.

Out of the 5% that actually show up, about .001% ever turn into a money race over $100.

And out of the .001%, about .00001% of the people actually race AND have money change hands.

This, IMO, is especially true when you are mixing two kinds of cars - one from the BMW crowd and one from the musclecar gang.

So if the ******* planets align and you guys decide your signs are compatible, set the rules and RACE. Then come tell the story, preferably with a decent vid instead of a couple blurry lights in a black camera phone wobbly image that could big Bigfoot being chased by a UFO or someshit.

I rode in one, and Im confident my WS6 can keep up with it till around 100 mph. I'm only a bolt on m6 and put down 350rwhp on a dynojet. I dont see you losing this race unless you **** up.

It's obvious, not one single person reads any stickies in any section.

I moved it to Bench and added a choice.

I chose "should I be banned." Come to think about it though, that's just a question without an answer...

With the power you're making at the wheels, I can't see it being too close. A stock e92 M3 makes 415hp to the crank and weighs about 200 more lbs than you.
Just to be safe, you should go from a dig or a low roll if you can hook up; they're supposedly top-end monsters. I don't think it will make much of a difference though.

You should easily easily beat him, I was playing with one when I was just bolt ons. They are not very fast, they are made to go around a track fast. But straight line man you should have no problem, and he is heavier then you. Go with a 1/4 tank of gas too lol. If he is turboed or spraying though you could be ordering to much to eat.

That was a little harsh. It I could find where the "bench racing" was I would tell you bro. All I got to say is, he drives a mustang so he must be a little slow. Lol

First off, you have been here a year (I'm sure Pony knew that, since that's the first thing we all look at, your post count and member year). You post in a section with out reading the stickies and then get upset when a member (who knows where to post btw) actually points you to a sticky that I wrote right around the time you joined, which you must not have read until Pony posted the link.
This is the internet and you need thicker skin though I agree we don't need the cursing and it was a little abrasive, but at times, hell, that's all that gets anyone's attention. The regulars here know how many F-in threads I have to keep moving, (about 4-5 a week) due to NOT READING THE STICKIES. I tried the " Hey dude, you posted in the wrong section " about 115 times to no avail and now frankly, I'm sick of it, they know I'm sick of it and there is no excuse unless you are a brand new guy. Actually, if you newer guys would read the damn stickies, I was advised to ban guys for 7 days, not 3 that I was planning.

To top it all off, you never even race the guy. So I have all this bullshit in this thread for basically no reason. I'm locking it and will bump it for others to read. I AM SICK OF BENCH POSTS IN THE KILL SECTION.

If you have a problem with that authority, simply move on. If you want an awesome kill section with minimal distraction, stick around, the choice is yours.

Dude, what do you do for a living that you have a problem finding the Bench Racing section? It's the 2nd STICKY down from the top of the page.

For you, here it is.
