another 1 bites the dust (bmw)

so i was driving home from school after a long day when a nice bmw 330i approaches me at the stop light so i didnt think nuthing of it, so the light turns green and he floors it? im like wtf? so i caught him up by the time i was at 50 i was passing him and i didnt let off till 70 by then im 1 car ahead of him..
so we line up again.. he revs so i hold the break and gass gona launch the car.. i launch at only 5psi i wanted to see how good i would do at only 5psi.. i gotta tell u it was great, i had him off the line a lil pulled second jumped 1/2 a car pulled third took two cars on him.. he tried to flash his lights to pull me over but i kept going i had a long day at school i just wanted to go home and relax..

CLIFF NOTES
raced a bmw 330i
race 1 caught and beat him by a car
race to launched at only 5psi took him by 2 cars..

now imagine if i launched at 11psi hehe :icon16:

With the upped psi, what do you think you'll run in the 1/4 mile?

Good kill, im running around 19+ psi myself.

Good kill :bigthumb: The 330i is no slouch. I would guess your in the low 14s easy.

yea id say hi 14's to be humble.. it was a auto tho.. i wana up it a little more but im just saving up now im happy with the preformance of the probe now im looking into bigger and better things..

I would think you are faster then high 14s because the 330i is high 14s even with an auto.

you really think 330i's are high 14 second cars in auto form? i know in 5 speed form yes, but in auto, i believe they are 15 second cars. hardly quick for bmw standards.

edit: i just checked and i was correct. the automatic 330i's run's a 15.6 and the 5 speed version gets a 14.6-14.8

Ok but still to kill one the way he did he must be at least mid 14s wouldnt you think?


PS-Where did you get your numbers? Im not doubting you im just curious for my own future reference. I cant seem to find numbers for the auto 330i.

Nice kill, show those rich people who's boss!

hehe yea i will i cant wait to race this long awaited eclipse gs-t conv. this weekend.. it will be on of the closes races that ive done.. should be intresting..yea so i give my car hi 14's only becasue i beat him by like 2 cars..

just go to google.com and type in 1/4 mile time for bmw 330i automatic. and you will see quit a few pages with it. and all are in the 15's. i also remember in one issue of motortrend where they were comparing the 330i auto to the cadilliac CTS auto, and hte infiniti G35 sedan auto. and only the infiniti was able to touch the high 14's. the bmw and the caddy were in the 15's.

Sheesh, doesn't anyone else go to the track. Take the probe to the drag strip, then you can find out what it really runs. I'm betting on low 15's, maybe high 14's. I doubt that you are running mid to low 14's. Take it to the track like I said. I use to think my former car's were the $hit, till I took my former Z28 and power shifted to a 14 flat 1/4 mile at 102 mph. Not all people drive like pros, except on the internet.

nice kill

yea i have to find my way to e-town one of these days..

I was about to say. I've run neck and neck with a 330 auto from 10mph (don't ask why 10mph) so mid 15's sounds right.

I doubt Turbo's probe runs 15s. I put my money on 14.3 just for the hell of it. Get some tires.lol

yea my tires are blad.. lol i just got those tires in march.. damm boost... well stock in auto form the car is a 15.6 sec car.. so i say upper 14's is about right

:edit:
2 things , i got to drive and got a ride in a 450hp 300ztt.. :icon16: fastest car ive ever been in my far.. i couldnt drive it well but the owner could the g force form that car is crazy.. i dont know if you people rember but a while back i raced a 300z tt with busted turbos and beat him.. well hes back with a new j-spec motor, stand alnoe fmu, all blot-ons and ported turbos.. he says he wants another run.. im like way? so you can waste gass..im such a :loser:

second thing if every thing goes well and TAT2 ever calls me back i might possibably run Tat tonite.. this we be match 2 of our cars.. last time he beat me by at least 3 cars.. this time im predicting only 1.. i got faster..well see later to nite
