Do you have any Mods? on your 330?

BONE STOCK!!!

ran a 14.8 in the 1/4 the other day!!!

Sorry, he let you win:flash:

Boxters are slow... I've taken them in my car... stock... the Boxter S... that's a job for the E46 M3....


BTW what is 17psi@6700rpms... ?????

IN A STOCK 330 I DON'T THINK SO

BMW 2001 330i 0-60 in 6.4 Courtesy of bmwusa.com
Porsche 2001 Boxter 0-60 in 6.6 Courtesy of porshe.com

Care to revise your statement?

Oh yeah... that was the manual transmission... in the auto version

330 in 7.0
Boxter in 7.4

Well, considering boost from a turbo can be somewhat dependent upon RPM, I'm assuming that's what his sig means...just what it says. Why it's important or relevent, beats me. Why doesn't he list HP or torque numbers? I dunno.

But he says it's bone stock... plus I've yet to see a turbo for the E46... both dinan and AA don't have one yet.

In addition there is no turbo out there anywhere that puts 17psi into a BMW engine... it would simply blow without MAJOR engine work.

ok, look at the porsche site again:rolleyes:

you claim you beat him by car lengths, like I said before, I do not think so. If those stats are correct :rolleyes: you car cannot be stock or he let you win, even 100 hp difference you would not win by 2 car lengths. Hey nice try though:D

Well the driver of the porsche could have been a poor driver... bad launch... many aspects that all add up to making it possible to have car lengths.

well actually it is my cobra conv. that has 17#'s goin through it into a 331 stroker motor!!!

here is my site www.geocities.com/my95cobras/index.html

and guess what my car is auto and the boxster was auto and i beat him by about 2 car lengths at 70 mph my car ran a 14.8 at bithlow the other night, challenge me i have proof!!!

And if you think a 330i is faster than a cobra, you have issues. my car is way faster than both, a 99 LS1 1LE Camaro Z28. if you gonna spend 43k on a 330 bimmer then get an M3 for 46k it has 108 more hp and better suspension, its an all around better car :o

He never said that his 330 could beat a Cobra... and if you find a E46 M3 for 47k LET ME KNOW.... I'd buy it on the spot... you really can't find them for less than 10k over MSRP... usually more than that and then there is the LONG wait for delivery.

Wow 14.8 is GREAT for a auto.

The boxster is slow ass.... ofcourse the 330ci would beat the boxster stock

also why would you get an auto?

both dinan and AA don't have one yet.

who's AA??

Actually I don't see where's the point.... Ofcourse BMW rulez and all others sux! :argue: :hehehe:

Neither one of those cars is match for my FD3S TT RZ:devil:

478 RWHP Dyno tested.

10.98 @ 121.12 MPH 1/4 Mile

The BMW 330ci manual trans claims 14.8 in the quarter mile. The automatic even in steptronic mode is at least .5 seconds slower then the manual.
This are some of the specs from Car & Drivers Test on the porschce Boxster not the Boxster S. There is no way for a stock 330ci to beat any year porsche boxster. Spend a couple hundred on come cold air intake and a new chip, turbo, what ever and the 911 will not be a problem. However I do believe that the BMW comes with much better quality in the build of the car.

hey newbie watch how you talk to a mod....

Yes I hope that he's in good mood, just like me :smoker2: .

uh, Sdiablo you're wrong here's a link to the official porsche webpage, and it says an auto/tiptronic boxster goes 0-60mph in 7.4s................. ouch

What does this have to do with a BMW or a Porsche? Just pat yourself on the back someplace else.

whoops, i forgot to give the link, it's:

http://www.us.porsche.com/national/models/boxster/boxster/technicaldata/default.htm

Uh, Gang$ter where is this link you where talking about. I dont see one. If you dont believe me go to Car & Driver.com. I dont think that car and driver would publish information that was wrong. Do you?

Uh gang$ster, if you read the information off the link that you posted, you would come to realize that the information in the link is times that are in kilometers per hour. Not Miles per hour. There is beyond huge difference in time between the two. Read the information that you post first so you dont make a fool of your self.

are you a retard or somethin? 0-100km/h is the same thing as 0-62mph

You must be illiterate, i said and i quote "it says an auto/tiptronic boxster goes 0-60mph in 7.4s................. ouch" just like on the site it says that 0-100km/h is 7.4s

don't even try to proove me wrong newbie

If I were an moderator I would close this thread... it's going nowhere.

if you are going to really compare the 2 you should concider weight (every 100 lbs lost is 1/10 in quarter) the 330 is about 300 pounds heavier than the boxter (i think) but the boxter only makes 201 hp to the 330s 225. if it is an auto 330 vs. a manual boxter the boxter will win. if it is manual vs. manual the 330 would win.

Just want to add my 2 cents

Boxter 2.5L 201hp high 6/low 7 manual/auto
Boxter 2.7L 217hp low-mid 6/high 6 manual/auto

BMW330i 225hp low 6/high 6 manual/auto

Boxter have 300 (kg) weight advantage over 330.

You think ur smokin a Boxster with a 3 series? I think ur smokin something. I love 3 series cars as much as my left nut but they no way if I were drivin that Porsche ur walkin on me like that.:o

i think you need to read the other pages!

and what are you smokin?! Boxsters are slow, an auto boxster does 0-60mph in 7.4 seconds, if you think that that's faster than a 330, you need to get some better info

Gangpunk or whatever,
Come back and talk to me when ur older than 10 and have driven both. K?

It depends on which Boxter JAG has.

Uh, Jag, I wouldn't say that to gan$tarr, you have no Idea how many cars he's driven. BTW, his car is also better than yours put together.

thanks porsche :D


well i was just comparing it to the regular Boxster we get in North America.... not a Boxster S, cause he said he just raced a boxster

if the boxster was an auto, i think he would have beatin it quite easily. If it's a manual he'd have a tougher time, but still not like it's impossible

Only I paid for both of mine out of my own pocket. That's what makes both of mine worth more than gold to me. :)

Don't need to bring Boxter S into the picture. 330Ci will not keep up with it. The 2.7L Boxter manual will give 330Ci enough fits. The 2.5L have no chance at all.

the only boxster i ever see sold is the 2.5 one, that's on the web site

Not to put you down or anything. But Porsche up the displacement since 2000 model year. It makes no sense Porsche would forget to update their page.

i just took the info of the web page... and since it's the official Porsche web site, i trust it

Why wouldn't porsche put the most update information on their web page? Which web page have you been looking at? Also are you sure it says 2.5L not 2.7L?

i just went to www.porsche.com... clicked on boxster than stats, and that's what it gave me :D

Exactly from Porsche.

The 2.7-litre Boxster engine develops a total of 162 kW (220 bhp) of power. Maximum torque of 260 Nm is available from as low as 4,750 rpm. The results are outstanding driveability, torque and cylinder charging, as well as extremely smooth running characteristics. 0 to 100 km/h takes just 6.6 seconds, while top speed with a manual gearbox is 250 km/h.

yup that's right, but the 6.6 is for the manual, i wrote for the auto

Earlier you said Porsche still uses the 2.5L Boxter stats. In fact those stats were for 2.7L Boxter.

i don't think i said that porsche uses the 2.5 stats..... didn't i say that i don't know which one it is, i just said it's off the porsche web site

i think

I think I have a solution to this problem. Get that guy who made the M3 for Need for Speed to make the two cars in question. Run them in the quarter on the game on a time trial. There ya go. :)
Unless someone here has 5,000 times the cashflow I have and happens to own both these vehicles?

This is what you said. But in fact Porsche has the 2.7L Boxter stats.

I've just spent a weekend with all the new Porsches, and the Boxster is indeed fast (slow compared to the others, but still fast). First of all, Porsche claims 6.6 for 0-62, typically getting to 62 adds about .1 sec over 60. Also, Porsche claims are always the most conservative possible. If Chevy claims 375 hp for the Vette, some will have 375, some will have 365, and some will have 385 (same with every car). But if Porsche claims 217 hp for the Boxster, 217 is the absolute minimum hp the car will have. 0-60 claims are always very conservative, a regular Boxster will actually run about 6.1 - 6.4 to 60.

BTW, all new Boxsters are 2.7 L (with the exception of the S, 3.2L)

well i guess i'm a crack head....

the stats i got are still official for the 2.7 then, for the auto 0-60mph 7.4s

the reason i'm sayin auto is because it could have been.... then it would have been a quite easy kill

Yeah, an auto would actually be about 7.0-7.2, but like you say still an easy kill.

I think a Boxter would win. Perhaps he left on his traction control, or you got the jump. Thats just the way I feel. Boxters are more set up for handling, anyway.

if it was a boxster S then the 330 would be done.... finished.... killed :D
but the regular 2.7 boxster... no problem :)

Are we comparing auto 330ci with tiptronic 2.7L Boxter? If that's the case then it would still be close race.
