05 M3 Stomp

[baylorbear98GT]

I was just leaving my apartment to go help my buddy put racing stripes on his lightening, and these two kids in a new M3 come up behind me. As we make the turn onto a larger street (LaSalle Ave.) He changes lanes and punches it. Bye the time he is even with me has a lot more mph than i have. I down shift to second and by the time it traction in third he is at least 5 car lengths behind me. They were good natured about it, I think that it surprised them that a 98 GT smoked their new M3.

Are you sure it was an 05 M3? I thought the 05 was supposed to be a redesign with a 400hp V8?

05 M3 - 333 HP, 262 lb-ft of torque in a 3400 lb package.

5 car lengths is a lot considering they had moementum, but good kill nonetheless.

Just curious about this part. So he's going faster than you to begin with, then you downshift, and then you put 5 cars on him in one gear? Seems very unlikey he was racing, but I guess anything can happen on the street.

Not in one gear. I was at abour 2500 rpm in third when I downshifted, I caught up to him with second and passed easily in third. (besides that I am not 100% positive that it was an 05) but it definitly looked newer than the my 2000 323i. He was definitly racing however, it was pretty obvious.

Thanks y'all. I really like it as well. I feel kinda envious when I see all of y'all with 450/450 at the tires with stock blowers but my car is faster than 99% of the cars I run into anyway. :beer:

Wait till you run into me kid, these 32valves are gonna smoke those 32valves! Hehe! Great kill, does your mom know you drive like that on the street?

You'll probably just blow your motor trying to beat me. I know your used to racing Hon-Duh's but my car esta muy rapido. You might have a total count of 32 valves but 16 of those are probably burnt. LOL. epper: :fart:

My sides are hurting from laughing so hard, you are a witty guy but it wont help you in the good ole 1320 even if 16 of my valves are burnt! ;-)

you two sound like 2 hookers arguing over who lost their virginity first :beer: :rolling:

I was going to do the same with my 98 GT by putting in a Mach 1 motor. I ended up with a bullitt motor, all bolt ons and a big stall. People don't know what to think when they get drug by a GT that has V6 emblems. epper: :banana:

AAAAAAAAAAAAH, Now that makes a heck of a lot more sense...I was wondering how a 225hp 98 2v was supposedly taking out an M3...maybe a drivers race with an E36 M3 (the boxy looking one) but now that you said you have a Mach hiding in 98's clothes, it all adds up, sorry for my previous ignorant post :read:

His nickname was" New and Used", dont make me spank you with the altima. That thing is a beast it has all of 140hp and it can leave a smoke trail so thick you wont find your way to the finishing line!

That is cool with the motor swap. What do you have at the engine now about ~350 or so?? What about 1/4 times?

I haven't ran the quarter yet but it puts down 300 (actually 299.6) at the tires which is:
X x .88=300 which 300/.88=X is approximately equal to 341. Or if you want a 15% drivetrain loss it turns out to be 353. My guess is that it is in this range somewhere. :banana:

It's awesome ain't it? There definitly sleepers, everbody knows how slow they were from the factory and most of the fast modulars are new edge, I love it. :beer:

Yep! Yours is MUCH cooler than mine, but I still managed to squeeze 258/291 out of a 2V without pulling the heads or intake off of the car. That's with the auto. When I first got the car with the original motor it made a whopping 185/260 LOL
