SS/SC Vs. 3.25i E36

BullDog71ss · 07-13-2005, 02:18 AM

This is a quick fun one from tonight...

While coming home from the hooka bar tonight with my two buddies we were being tailgated very closely by a pair of very bright and familiar headlights. After about 15 seconds of tailgating me he caught a break in traffic and passed me on my left side going WOT. It just so happend to be a black 3.25 E36 with a very nice, deep sounding exhaust. After waiting for traffic to clear up a bit so I could safely get through the couple cars around me, we pulled up next to him. I was in 3rd doing about 45mph or so when we pulled up next to him. After a couple quick revs he caught my drift and he nailed it, as did I. I could hear his throaty exhaust wailing away, but we quickly put about 4-5 lengths on him before shutting down. At first I asked my buddies "Did he even go?"
My friend in the passenger seat that was right next to the car replied with "He sure as hell did!" and the one in the back said something to the nature of "I hope that wasn't an M3, cause that thing was slow!"

But I still wasn't sure if he went or not cause we pulled so hard. Sure enough he came back on us quickly to my passenger side after we slowed down, I figured he wanted another go so I got ready to mash the gas. Instead my buddy says to me "He just gave you the thumbs up dude." I was like "Well then, he did go...damn." I guess he had had enough.

I didnt get the chance to ask him if anything was modded besides his exhaust and the lowering job it had...ah well. Fun stuff anyway.

Damn I love the sound of the BMW I6 with a good exhaust.

nice kills, you've already killed that many cars in your sig? Impressive

Yuppers. I think the wing attracts a lot of attention...wanted and unwanted. I've been averaging about a race or more a day for the last 5 days now. It's sorta getting out of hand. I've always had pretty good cop karma, but that could end any time now. So I'm always on the lookout. As were my buddies. 6 eyes are better than two

It's like I have to defend my wing's honor or something like that with the guys on the streets. With big wing, comes big responsibility...

You get more races than anyone in the world...I agree about the sound of a BMW I-6...my friend has a 328is 5 speed with intake and exhaust and it sounds like the sex.

If it was an M3 you would know.

Heh, it was dark, and the car was dark. Kinda hard to tell at first glance. Plus the buddy that wasnt sure what it was, was in the back seat. All he could see from his point of view was the backs of our heads, and wing.

At any rate, stock for stock teh E36 M3 would get pulled on as well. Not with 3 dudes in my car Vs. one in the M3 though. I'm talkin bout a fair fight here. Heh.

yeah, if i saw a cobalt SS i would try to test it too, but the only difference is that would be seeing my tailights.

j/p.

Haha, stock M3 would get pulled on? So the cobalt can hit high 13s and trap 100 mph? I didn't know that.

Seriously...too many people on this forum skip very important peices of information while reading others' posts. Then they jump to conclusions which starts a nice flame war.

I said E36 M3. As you know there is a big difference between the almost gutless E36 M3 and the E46 M3.

BullDog71ss · 07-13-2005, 10:33 AM

From a stand still I'd be playing catch up. From a roll he would be playing catch up. This in fact was a roll race.

Stock for stock, the E36 M3 would beat you.

Stock for stock, the E46 M3 would murder you.

Like I said, haven't seen any stock Cobalts running high 13s and trapping in the 100s. Myabe if the M3 driver didn't know what he was doing, it'd be close, but I doub't you'd be pulling

"almost gutless" has more horsepower than the Cobalt.

Stock E36 M3 is about a low 14 second car and the SS is mid 14.

So find one and race one, should be fun to watch.

BullDog71ss · 07-13-2005, 11:19 AM

It's got near the same BHP, unless BMW's number are underrated. The Cobalt has around a 250 pound wieght advantage as well as better gearing. The Cobalt's major flaw is that it can't launch...whatsoever. So people see mid 14 sec-low 15 1/4 passes and completely judge the rest of the car's performance off of that.

I really want to find a stock E36 M3 to run around here. It would be close, but I think I could nudge it out. Problem is, most BMW owners around here are satisfied with puting around town doing 10 under the speed limit, (due to age of most BMW owners in Az) so it'll be hard to find one to run. I could however run my buddies RMS M3...but we all know how that would turn out.

Raz_Kaz · 07-13-2005, 11:21 AM

If I had an M3, I'd race ya!
