Default LS1 Camaro vs BMW 135i vs STI **VIDEO**

Ran my buddies 2004 STI & got to do a rematch against a BMW 135i. The previous race between me & the 135i is here https://ls1tech.com/forums/street-ra...35i-video.html pretty damn close both races... One race he was on E85/91 50/50 mix & this one he was just on 91 & like 3 psi less

The guys in the STI all thought I was spraying when I ran because I guess my car shot flames out hahaha


Enjoy

Hope the guy in the STi gets a driver mod. Definitely wrong gear selection at start. He got walked HARD.

135 held its own for a bit.

Good kills. The Camaro runs strong

Thats a ricer excuse for not knowing how to drive. My friend in his Evo X isn't all about straightline... and anyone who knows how to drive knows where their powerband is.

Nice revenge kill on that BMW.
STI I thought would have done better, he should've asked for a dig run after.

And yes, you and Rob need to run when he gets up to speed on his mods.

I'm surprised you haven't made it to the track yet with your current set up.
What's your goal, 12.5???

Yea just been pretty busy with work & ****.. But I'm going to try & make it Saturday. Kind of worried if I should wait until I install this panhard bar. Don't know if the stock one will handle all the passes at a track. But probably 12.4-12.5

Good kills and the 135i hung in there good. Fuel plays a big role in how these cars do. e85 mix seems to be the hot ticket lately along with running meth. It makes quite a difference to run at 12 psi on pump to running 17+ psi on meth or e85 mix. Good kill op and good luck at the track.

BTW, was the guy with the 135i trying to sell his car in previous months? Reason I ask is that I swear I've seen it for sale before and was considering buying it a few months ago until I found a black stock one up toward LA.

Thanks yea I figured it be a lot closer since we wasn't on E85.. But no don't think it was his. Hes got some pretty big plans for it.. But yea the 135i is a pretty sweet car. Just don't know if I could ever sell my Camaro for a German car haha

Yeah I hear you on that. I love driving the bimmers. There is a level of refinement that isn't in an fbody. At the same time I'd never get rid of my TA. It's not a perfect car by any means but for it's faults and it's strong points I love it the most.

I take it your buddy is eyeing up the single turbo kit that was recently released by Vishnu tuning. That should liven up his car a bit.
