TII, N/a?


Meh, with an NA you are carbonized toast, with a TII you are probably still toast. The E46 M3 is a mid to low 13 sec car depending on the driver.

Well if you have a TII, and you say you have an exhaust your probably pushing 9-10psi right there. Thats good for a good bit of HP gain. Id say you would hang with him but dont know if youll be able to take him. A few more mods and yes, no problem, M3's are overrated

his previous posts on this forum such as
"can anybody tell me what the compression is supposed to be on my car.

1987 RX7 non-turbo

also would the compression have anything to do with why it idles at 4000rpms "

would make me think that... he .. wont .. b keeping up with the BMW ... or .. even have time to get its lisence plate.

I think the M3 would win for sure. Those things are quick. They give TII's runs for their money, even modded ones.

With a 4.7 0/60 and a 13.4 1/4 mile time, it would take a really modified TII to win, and an N/A, don't try.

When you do race, ask him to keep the power switch in economy and see what happens. At least you might be able to see his taillights down the road.

WTF.

Go to google, type in "0-60", go to the first link it shows you and look at the 1/4 mile times.

bro if your n/a isn't heavily modded, meaning big *** street port, bridgeport all that, don't try taking evo, sti's, m3 etc. with your mods your probably on the 16's on the quarter mile. don't want to say anything but a integra gsr, rsx type-s will spank you bad so don't try racing any evos or other cars that are well modded even being stock. get your car rights, get a street port engine, some piggyback and various mods and then try to race evo's and all that but right now its better if you keep it low and don't race everything that comes next to you.

later

I wouldn't race him if your going to be using an N/A. not to say the N/A engine is bad, it's not. Just isn't nearly as good as a TII motor. If you even hope to compete with him, heres my suggestion.


A. Get a big streetport, port your 5th and 6th ports. get the sleeve inserts, and a nice intake/exhaust system.

Easier route would be to go turbo and mod it.

Go race him. You'll lose for sure. Who cares? Why would you even think you could take on an M3?

if his car isnt running, WHY THE **** DOES HE EVEN TALK ABOUT RACING A M3?
and a stock 87 VS a M3, well your a ******* idiot for trying... if you do try, make sure you laugh at yourself when the M3 goes by you in a blur..

Hey dude, pipe down, he was just asking a question, some people seriously dont know. I mean, maybe hes just getting into the speed game and dosent know all the specs. Seriously, with a blatantly disrespectfull attitude like that you wont have many friends on the forums, only enemies. You can tell him that he will loose bad without calling him an idiot and direspecting him.

Besides, maybe one day youll be broke down on the side of the road and hell drive by and wont think twice about helping............. Karma brother.....
