BMW Z4 is....

Slow. Some cocky rich guy, with his ugly wife, pulled up next to me at about 40, gunned it, then cut me off...Pissed off, and since I had just read the times and stats on that car from car and driver, I knew I had to smoke him :smoker2: Pulled up next to him at the next light, he's already revin his engine. Turns green and by the time I hit second gear I pull away from him like he isnt movin (and yes hes still got it gunned, he gets second pretty good) I get to third gear and he is in my rear view. Great Feeling. :frog: I love my 99 T/A.

I just think they're damn ugly :D

Oh yeah, Your Trans Am should have really smoked his ass. Your Trans Am (5.7L V-8) with 305HP. His Z4 (3.0L V-6) with 225HP. Yep I'd say you had him blown in the dust. Good job, I don't care much for them Z4 and getting tired of people bragging about them. Again, nice kill...

IMO I personally think the Z4 is a beautiful car and a step up from the previous. I don't think slow would be the word for it. It has great acceleration for a 225hp inline six. We just own extremely fast cars, that's all. Not very many stock cars can hold their own against a T.A. Now, should you have pulled up next to an 02 or 03 M3, you would have had your ass handed to you to 60 mph and still might have been seeing tail lights through the quarter mile depending on how good a drivers you are. Also, if you ever see a Dinan badge on the back of a BMW be prepared to get slaughtered. :greenchai Just some food for thought. :D

I know what Dinan is, my friend owns a M5 Dinan. That car is very fast. Other friend also owns an M3. At 50 mph, she down shifted, tried to pull away, I downshifted, caught up and began passing when we hit the brakes. I never said my T/A was stock. :smoka: BMW does however make exceptional cars. I didn't expect to catch u and pass an M3, and wouldn't if an expirienced driver were at the wheel. Fast cars are great aren't they? :sun:

I didn't expect to catch u and pass an M3

I meant to say I didn't expect to catch up* and pass an M3:eek:

whatcha got done to yur T.A.? :D

Now I am not going to say the Z4 is an ugly car. I happen to think they are very nice. But I am glad you smoked some rich guy who thought he was hot shit. I wonder what he was thinking as he saw you fly past... :D

Mods done to my 99 T/A M6:

Handling/Traction: Car is lowered 2 inches, Sits on 17" Konig Monsoon Wheels, BMR Engine Strut Tower Brace, BMR Panhard Bars, Rear BMR Sway Bar, and Ripper Shifter. O ya, I took out the spare to reduce weght. :smoka:

Rubber: BF Goodrich T/A G-Force KDWS

Engine: Borla Exhaust, Carbon Fiber Whisper Lid, K&N Filter, removed MAF screen, and free ram air mod.

Coming Soon: Headers (I've narrowed my choices down to Hooker LT's or Dynatech Stepped 1 3/4 to 1 7/8), ORY, no Cats (O2 simms), and some type of knock outs (QuickTime or the cheap ones from Jeggs you undo with the 3 wing nuts) and a port TB (dunno what to do for that):confused:

Hooker long tubes! :D

How does that Borla Sound Eat Rice??

Maybe the fat bitch in the seat next to him weighed him down. Nah, im just playing, nice kill. Boycott german products. Them and the French and Belgiums. Go domestics!

The Borla sounds really nice. Not as loud as the other exhausts, dont get me wrong tho, you will be heard. I had it up on a lift and the quality is superb. fits stock locations. real nice. i wish borla made headers to go with it. i am leaning towards hooker LTs, but i think id need to get a whole new y pipe set up, so id get ory and cut outs. any advice?

Any brand LT's and you'll have to get a new y-pipe. That's just a factor of having the better headers that stick out farther from the engine.:D

i think the Z4 is ugly as hell. They were better off with the Z3 style... lot more crisp looking

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleeys:

Scott- BMW don't have any V6's- they have a big line of I6's but not any V6's

In fact this thread is filled with stupidity :rolleyes:

In fact this thread is filled with stupidity

Im going to agree after reading one more time.....:D Ok so they are I6 some people call them straight 6's. Thanks for letting me know.....

Also what pontiactrac fails to notice is that the Z4 is built in South Carolina and the Firebird was built in Canada now who's the domestic driver???? :D

Firebird was built in Canada

:D your right, thats outside the US.

haha my honda was made in kentucky or some shit, and my VW was made in mexico.:bloated:

Yes its funny how some of our "american made" cars are made outside of the US. And how the "imports" are made right here in the US.:confused: Oh well, I guess were the main headquarters is located determines wheather its import or not.

i realize that goes for some cars. but not all. By the way... sorry for the little stir up there :D it's just hard being a patriotic American when not only most of the world, but also most of your own country doesn't even stand for the pledge and/or support his country, especially on the brink of war. I know not all french and etc are assholes but just my experiences. ;) But i love the Austrialians for what it's worth

Well, a Z4 is ugly, but it's not slow. I6 and not much weight = pretty fast. I'd never ever ever buy one, but I'd drive one just for the hell of it. BMW makes ugly but fast cars.

~A

You LS1 F-body guys should edge out m3's in the 1/4... especially Eat Rice.

Hey Eat Rice, that z4 shoulda been at your rearview by the top of first from a standstill!!!.....unless you didn't hook.


What would be an interesting race is a Ls1 F-body with minor bolt ons(similar to Eat Rice's) against a stock e46 m3 from a 60 punch...

i didn't know they were selling Z-4 allready but im glad you won him, it was probebly easy for your good car:) ;)

Good Kill Eat Rice.
I think Z4s are OK looking. I'd never buy one though. For that price I'd rather get an S2000 or pay a litte extra for a Boxter.

A Boxter?!:apuke:

I'd much rather go with the BMW. What about an Audi?! Or the 350Z!...I had to get that one in! CLick!

We were all in my friends Lincoln Cont. and we pulled up next to a guy and his wife in a SC430. So, I'm like rev. on him! So chuck revs and the guys wife looks our car up and down with some snotty ass disgusted look on her face. Whore! Well we won! he didn't race us but we won! Damn Ponte Vedra Whores!

Hey Demon what type of mods do you have for your 300zx?

HKS Super Mega Flow intake
Custom exhaust 2 1/2in. pipes into two dual 3 in. tiped mufflers (no cats)
Advanced timing (just a tad)
HKS ALC (automatic line control) for the auto. tranny

about to get Tokico shocks & Eibach springs.

Stand for pledge of alegience(spelling?). Many of us can't even fly our nation's flag without disgracing her! Ever see an American flag flying at night with no light directly shining on her?

It's hard to be a patriotic American when our President is so irrational and stupid with his actions. Along with the fact that our Constitutional Rights are being violated.

But yet, we still continue to go along with this regime that we think is a democracy.

The most patriotic thing to do now is to protest.

kinda funny lookin car.. little to thin, not the greatest from bmw i don't think, then again im to poor to afford just about anything..

well i normally don´t come here to this forum but i´m just bored today and then i read this threat.
what´s the good thing if you smoke a 231ps z4 with your 300+ ps XYZ car?
the z4 is not a car for a quarter mile race.
with it´s sportspackage it´s a very sweet car for the racetracks.
we could now start the next discussion of the sence of quarter mile or stop light races what it says about the handling of the car...
well nothing than speed but on a race track you don´t need speed. you need a good handling and so on....................................
but the z4 is not really a good car for the quarter mile. the mustangs and so on (i don´t know much about these cars) are really better for that.
a z4 is sth. for the rich people who want crusiing on the boulevards. (like me hrhr ;) )
i´ll get my z4 in autumn. the introduction of the z4 will be the next days in germany. you´re lucky... you see it since nearly have a year on your streets...

Yes, I think this was just a pointless thread, Firebird is also slow compared to a Skyline.
