Anyone do some racing? What cars have you beaten?

bcl0328 · 01-29-2013, 07:37 PM

I just took down a 350z.

J Tiberius · 01-29-2013, 07:42 PM

350z...easier to defeat than a snowy driveway

:

Good stuff though! I haven't gone up against anyone yet, but hopefully that will change soon...

bmwluvr24 · 01-29-2013, 08:13 PM

I surprised the hell out of a guy in a 370Z with the NISMO package. We were stuck next to each other the whole way. I think this N20 is a great engine and VERY quick off the start!

Elk · 01-29-2013, 08:31 PM

Pick your opponents carefully. There are many, many cars quicker than an F30.

BMWforLife · 01-29-2013, 08:39 PM

N20:
beat a 2012 mustang v6 (305HP) from about 70-110 mph.

although those things are limited to like 113 mph because their driveshaft is made of what may possibly be cardboard (used to own one )

beat an e92 238 from a start and on the highway.

beat an 2012 A4 on the highway easily...

hmm hee...what else.... other than a handful of early 2000’s honda fart mobiles, i did beat a BRZ as well from a dead stop.

yea i didn't get a 328i for power.

300hp · 01-29-2013, 09:14 PM

Torque, without it you are screwed. Glad to see the 328 is handling business

DarkTrigger · 01-29-2013, 10:50 PM

A guy wanted to race onto the freeway in his Challenger SRT8 392. I kindly declined as I know he had almost 200hp/tq on me.

I've killed many Prius's on the highway though! But they make me nervous when I pass them going 80 mph.

Mak135i · 01-29-2013, 10:54 PM

Good race for me with a charger SRT8 up to 130 but had to slow down as we were coming up on traffic. I would say he was never ahead of me by more than 1 car length.
I raced my own (driven by somebody else obviously) C63 and it was not even close from the start. Time for the JB

300hp · 01-29-2013, 11:21 PM

I raced a 135i in my G37x, from 50 maybe but he had started accelerating maybe 3 s before me. The lead was at least 5-7 car lengths. I knew I had to change cars at that stage. Did I mention the road was wet.

Next time let him know you are racing.

Mak135i · 01-29-2013, 11:45 PM

I think he started the race actually.

They always do.

elrey21 · 01-30-2013, 12:39 AM

I went up against a late model S4 on the highway with my base 328i ... Stayed with the car up to 131 (limited non sport} but he wasn't going up past that anyway. So we were with each other pretty much the while time.

pkimM3r · 01-30-2013, 01:10 AM

There is no skill in holding the wheel straight and flooring it. Plus a ticket would just be a hassle. Go to the track and guaranteed a few miatas will take you to school. The same with civics e46 323s whatever other car is out there. Dont be the guy in a 335 getting blown by by a 328. LOL.

There is some level of skill if you start from zero and only go up to like 90ish. Because I you can't shift than you pretty much guarantee your loss. If you have auto though then yah absolutely no skill

JOHN328 · 01-30-2013, 08:49 AM

With my 328 I pulled about 2 car length against a 6 litre VE SS Holden. Australia version chev from 0-140km.

pkim is right. Anybody can go fast in a straight line. Go to a track...THATS racing.

You don't need much skill with a slushbox, I agree. Totally different story with a manual. Not many people know how to properly drive a manual aggressively.

Perhaps, but he was not racing.

An F30 will not pace a car that runs mid-twelves into three digit speeds. At best he was holding back to see what your car would do.

Besides, who cares? Anyone can hold a foot feed to the floor and steer in a straight line. Who wins to 130 MPH is determined by the car. So what?
