Re: M3 kill

Those few v8 m3s were equipped with a smaller, 3.x (x = i don't remember) v8 that made more HP but actually LESS Torque than the normal 333hp straight six. they were only sold in europe and used to homologate the v8 M3s that were destroying porsches in the eauropean road racing series (GT, GTR?)

BMW made a few 3 series cars with the M% v-8 they had to for homologation but they were all well over 250k and sold backdoor style to certain people.
As for the Harmann 3 Series running 10's. I don't think ANY BMW street vehicle has run in the 10's even the McLaren F1 ran 11's (BMW 12 cylinder)

Good kill.
I'm trying to get a local Chiropractor that drives an M3 to run me. He's the typical "American cars are turds" kinda guy. I'm gonna hand him his ***

I'd guess that your car isn't stock anymore, but if it is, good luck beating an M3. A kid I knew ran one to a 13.3 bone stock.

250,000? Talk about overpriced... A regular M5 could be had for only 90 grand. I thought the McLaren did high 10s? COuld be wrong on that one though.

He's driving a late 90's 4 Door M3 w/a 240hp Straight 6 shouldn't be much of a problem. They ran 14.5's when new.He's got a fart pipe and a sticker so that should be worth what? 100hp at the wheels?
I have seen two McLarens run the strip on video both ran in the 11's.I do not know the altitude at which the runs were made. The guy I know that owns one has said he'd never raced it.

Re: M3 kill

11s are amazing anyway, but to think the car is meant for the track and not for the 1320 makes it even cooler to think about. The McLaren and Enzo really are amazing cars

taking your buddy's girl home... hmmmmmm

Same thing crossed my mind....

I like the "we won't be going straight home, and her being game part. Did he think you were flying solo too, until a passenger head popped up?

j/k

Nice kill. there's a dumbass dentist that lives near me with a silver one. I never see him when I'm in the TA, only DD Neon

Anyway, last week, it's raining something fierce, and he's blowing through traffic with his fogs on like he's super-cool Autobahn guy (no driving gloves, but a really cool bushy hair-do and 70's ****-stache, so which one is the old-man stud mobile

) back on track. I get behind him at a light. When it truns green, BAM! dumbass stalls the car out. He quickly cranks it back up, and like a ricer, hauls *** out of there, fishtailing everywhere in the rain. He turns off a few block up, and as I pass him, I honk, and point and crack up. He looked for a second, then got a real pissed off look, mashed the gas whlie turning, and almost wrecked in the entrance of his neighborhood. Sorry to hijack, M3 guys kill me!
BTW 10 sec M3? Ummm. not too many of M5 conversion cars out there, sure it would have been Sport Compact by now! Does he know the difference between 1/8 and 1/4 mile?
