my buddy has a new m3 and i wanted to race him to see how i did. im sure i would loose, but i think its fun regardless. he wont race me, i guess if i even stay close i win lol. maybe he doesnt want his 60k car to be shamed by a grocery getter. i hate ppl like that.

What are your mods. On my 30psi stock turbo tune I was dead even with an e92 40-130. They take to nods just as good as a 5.0 stang.

Said m3 claimed bolt ons stock tune but to keep up like that he wasn't stock tune

once again no idea what that has to do with anything?



And so? how are you competiting with a car that has

126 more HP
51 more FT-LBS
3 More gears <- better acceleration/higher top speed

seriously guys.... that's like saying a cobalt with 400hp is faster than a GTR?
Well a new 5.0 stang is faster than an is-f stock for stock.....a bolt on LNF takes a stock 5.0 fairly easy from a roll

so this shall be an easy win for me....

now.. keep in mind this is stock for stock..

ss/tc vs is-f.. yes you can subtract half a second or w/e for the ss/tc because extra gain for GMS1 but here you go

SS/TC

0-60 = 5.7
0-100 = 13.4
0-130 = 24.6

5-60 = 6.2
30-50 = 8.5
50-70 = 6.5

1/4 Mile = 14.2 @102

ISF

0-60 = 4.7
0-100 = 11
0-130 = 18.9

5-60 = 5.1
30-50 = 3.2
50-70 = 3.6

1/4 Mile = 13.1 @110

GMS1 sure does help but it is not faster than an IS-F

who knows IS-F could have been scared to go all out or really was just slower either way......and sorry to do this "It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, a win is a win"


Nice kills

I won my first race the other day in my balt. My opponent had over double my torque and I still won. It might have been a dodge ram 3500 giving me an ever so slight weight advantage

nice work showing what the cobalt can do! I always see nice cars going the opposite way or when im in traffic...

not sure why people feel the need to try refuting the win. a million reasons could cause the ISF to win or lose that particular moment. your not going to prove it either way with all the stats in the world.

A hp tuned ss/ tc will beat an isf from a roll g speed. GM stg 1 would be a close race. Idk where you got those stats from but they seem a little off.

GUD kills man i can say from experience w/ my bolt ons i totally walk off on SS camaros 40 rolls 60 rolls makes no difference i raced a IS-F when i went home for my daughters birthing and i pulled on him from a 40 roll by a car as race went on i was still in the lead by a fender. second run im not sure what happened but i was a car ahead i guess he didnt want to run again. newer M3's e92 body i seen a few but only one raced and it was pretty even. If your on your game i think you can take them but then again i am spiking 27lbs and settling at 24.

Stock for a SS/TC is a 14.0 flat, ive seen GMS1 cars with bolt-ons go 13.3. Plus the race was from a 60 roll, so the TC has an advantage being lighter weight. So a GMS1 would not get "smoked" like you stated, it would be a close race.

SS -- Motor trend 12.9 at 110.7 Car and Driver 13.0 at 111

BTW these same pro drivers pulled a 14.2 at 102 with the SS/TC. PRO does not = best possible time.
