hey guys I was at Fl turnpike no traffic only a couple of cars.
its was cold so I took the gti for a ride and this guy on a M-coupe starts driving by my side; If I slow down he will do the same. he was like that for like a mile or so; until I got mad and told him to go for it; I slam it and he follows; by the time I let go off the gas he was like three or four cars behind me (and I was still pulling from him) . I put my hand out the sunroof and go :nono: it was funny,(he had a sticker on the windshield that said M-POWER) after that he stayed behind me. I slow down to see if he will do it again and he wouldnt get close....:grinyes:

i wouldnt exactly tell the approx locations either of these events happening, but nice reguardless. find a pic on cardomain or something that is the car. for all we know is that it was a m3 that was misbadged or something. its not like im calling bs or anything, since we all know that your gti is pretty quick.

Damn bro, I ran one in the Goat the other morning and he took off on me in traffic like an ass. When I finally caught up to him at a clearing I tell him "again" and honk it down.
I pulled away about 2 cars from 3rd to 5th but I though maybe he just didnt try hard enough.
Now Im not so sure....:uhoh:

Just for clarification, are we talking about the Z3 M-Coupe:
http://www.tarr.com/personal/images/mcoupe/mcoupe_small.jpg
or the Z4 M-Coupe?
http://www.autogaleria.pl/fotografie/bmw/bmw_z4_m_coupe_2006_02.jpg
Also, if it was a Z3 M-Coupe, any idea on the year? Most of them have the 240hp engine from the E36 M3, but the later ones had 315hp.
The M Coupe is nothing to be underestimated in any guise. There is a good chance that the Z4 M Coupe will be my next car.

Good stuff. I agree though, the new M Coupe in Z4 form is damn sexy in person. I was looking at them when I got to test drive the 335i. My buddy says it looks like a 350Z that went on a diet, worked out a good bit, and then went and got a massive ego boost by getting laid by a hot ass chick.

not to be a dick, but im wondering here.
you weight what, just shy of 3000lbs? with those mods, maybe making 300hp, which should put you in the low 13's, maybe high 12s on slicks.
and if im not mistaken the new z4mclass is a low 13 second car stock, with well over 300hp.
it really doesnt sound like you could have pulled him that hard

Power to weight ratio isnt that important when its from a roll and you have forward momentum already built up.
Ive raced his GTI....well sort off, believe me its a monster.
He has about 315-320 hp and Im making 447 at the cranck and I still couldnt get ahead of him, he just kept walking me. Now if he can do that to a 447 hp'd car what makes it so hard to do it to a measly 315?

nice kill. For some reason I never see those m-coupes in real life...ever. m3s, m5s, 3 series, z3s and z4s are all over the place, but I never see those coupes
Part of that might be that they are fairly new. They only came out last summer. I also doubt that they are selling all that great. Most people will probably opt to pay $2,000 more for the convertable top. I drove one a little while ago and thought that it was much more fun then the M5 and the M6. It was looking like the M-division was obsessed with developing new technology, but the M-Roadster and M-Coupe are very simple for a modern BMW, much more like some of the older M cars. I really wanted to drive away from the dealership with a Interlagos Blue Coupe, but I know that the E92 M3 is less then a year away so I decided to wait. A new M3 with a V8 is not to be ignored. It would be awesome if they managed to squeeze this new V8 into the M-Coupe.

gearing and weight play a vital roll in racing from, well a roll. its all power to weight, gearing of course factoring into weight here. a gto is upwards of 4k if im not mistaken, which puts you at a HUGE disadvantage!!! remember 100lbs=roughly 1/10 in the 1/4...so 1000lbs would equal nearly a full second. which means you need significantly more power to overcome. weights being equalled, power being equalled, its in the tranny. the z4-m is avialiable wiht a couple different trannies so its impossiable to tell exactly which one, but i still find several cars somewhat tough if he actually decided to gun it.
on a side note, i would love to see one of those z4-m's. they are pretty cool

Actually its only available in a manual, no SMG or automatic available. These are the ratios according to BMW USA-
Transmission
Standard transmission ratios - I/II:1 4.35/2.50
III/IV:1 1.67/1.23
V/VI/R:1 1.00/0.85/3.93
Final drive ratio 3.62 :1

it really doesnt sound like you could have pulled him that hard
I weight more like 2800 lbs with driver
I was making 318 whp and 343 tq from 2800 rpm all the way to redline when I first got the turbo probably a little less now.
the z4 M-coupe weights 3,300 lbs and has 330 hp @ 7900 rpm at the crank and 269 lb- ft of torque @ 4900 rpm (oh by the way you are right on their 1/4 mile, is 13.4 @ 105 mph)
SO I still dont see why you doubt about me pulling on him.:screwy:

I don't doubt your kill. I believe the new 3.2L M3 engine is rated at 333hp. I don't see how a GTI that is making over 300whp wouldn't beat one, being lighter, and pumping out more horsepower. I know Danno beat a newer M3 from a roll in his stock GTO.
I dunno, I don't see M3's running all that fast. They definitely can corner really well, but they are not really a drag race machine.

dude no offense but your car does not weigh 2800 pounds with driver. The car itself weighs 50 pounds less than my jetta, so you car weighs about 2950 by itself, and you weigh more than I do and I weigh 115 so I'm gonna guess you are about 140-160 so that makes your car 3090 assuming you are at the lower spectrum and plus those heavier rims you have on probably weigh over 20 pounds each so your GTI weighs more than you think it does, but anyways good kill and I hope you get unbanned soon.

But just so you know, there isnt 20 pounds to be taken off from each bumper cause the bumpers dont even weigh 20 pounds, unless you shaved off alot of metal from your frame, which shouldnt be done.
