Default 335i

My brother just got a bmw 335i twin turbo and says he's gonna kick my ***. Now i have never been to the strip since my modifications so i dont know what she'll run stock it went 9.12 78 in the 8th spinning so now it should be alot faster. What do you guys think? I think i should be able to take him down as my car dynoed 333 to the wheel earlier this summer.
Btw the car is an a4 stock stall and 373's

it would be close enough to consider it a driver's race. he should be able to get mid/low 13's bone stock if he can drive.

a stall would definitely help you out a little bit if running the quarter.

i'd say you have a good chance of beating him, although i would say it could come down to the driver, and also how well you can catch traction, whats the race supposed to be? from a dig? from a roll? and is he auto or stick?

those 335s are no joke. they can go mid 12s with just a tune to bring up the boost. not sure what they run stock but i'd say it will be a close race with the lt1 a winner by not too much assuming your bros still stock.

i also agree with just a tune those things can hit high 12's all day. with a downpipe and a few other things they can be deep into 12's.

nice cars, but assuming he is still completely stock down to the tune i think you should edge this one out, especially because he is auto as well.
