Evo IX vs 2008 Corvette - Evo IX vs 2008 M3 Help me figure this out!
 

I had two races recently and am very confused by the outcomes, hopefully you guys can help me figure it out.

Evo IX vs 2008 Corvette
0-120
I put 4 car lengths on the Corvette without using the 2-step launch feature

Evo IX vs 2008 M3
0-120
Dead even, dead tie, nobody pulled anybody and I used the 2-step launch feature (I delayed a split second to make sure that the guy was gonna go)

*2-step launch on my Evo = revs to 5800 to build your boost

Now I thought the new Corvettes run the 1/4 mile in 12.8 and the new M3 runs it in 12.6, no? I didnt have the opportunity to see if the M3 was modded at all, but with it being such a new car I would doubt it, or is there an aftermarket for it? What do you guys think about these two outcomes?

driver mod on the vette and was it a base model or a zo6

bad driver or maybe he just stopped racing idk the track will provide you with the answer you seek run with the 2 step and without and compare the two.

2008 vette is 430hp right runs 12.4's .... could be bad driver

It was not a Z06

I guess it coulda been a bad driver but I've raced another c6 vette before my cams and meth and put 2 lenghts on him, I mean could the new M3's just be underated?

dont know ill talk to someone i know and find out, BMW step program ;) , thats if i see him

That would be appreciated

impressive either way

^^^Thanks

i pulled 4 cars on a c6 from a dig..... u prolly could have pulled more.. if u dont run low 12s theres a prob.

His car is good for a mid 11 pass.

at 373awhp he should prolly be around 11.6 or so dependin on his drivin.. the 2 step helps alot on the launch......i know on the street wit my shitty tires i had traction issues... i shoulda added at least low 12s... lol im tired...

Yea low 12's, high 11's maybe, but that M3 really surprised me.

If the Evo has NLTS it good for a low 12's pass. Depending where his rev limiter is at because he might possibly have to shift into 5th if it's not set a like 8k. Either way, good races. It's always nice to see an Evo laying the smack down.

What do you run at the track? My boy in a 9 ran 11.94 at Witchita International Raceway with race gas his own tune, intake and turboback.

Rev limit set to 7800

Unfortunatly I have yet to hit the track :( But sounds like your boy has pretty nice setup, that race gas will definatly make a big difference.

Dan your car is good mid 11 car.

Local around me with a 8 ran 11.7, tuned by ivey with nearly the same mods.

The vette just blew the launch, nothing else about that. Had you gone from a roll the vette would have walked away from you. The 08's are the LS3 and with bolt ons are trapping mid-high 120's. I beleive they have trapped as high as 120 stock (but don't quite me on that). The M3 other then the launch seems right. You paused which allowed the good traction M3 to take away your launch advantage then it was a roll race from there. They trap mid teens like 113-115 from what I have seen and heard, so once moving a good race for you. I don't know if you have seen that video of the Z06 versus the GTR, but in the end it said they tried 7 times to run from a dig but the GTR would check out until almost 160 when the vette would run it down (the vette either bogged of blew the tires). Same thing here, vette just couldn't launch it and with you being able to let you check out! AWD works wonders from a dig, as you already know!

Good runs, I would love to see them on video!

I see what your saying ^^^^ good points made.

i was just reading about the brand new m3 in car and driver and they ran 11.3 at like 116-122 or something like that cause i remeber telling my buddy about that

so your telling me the new m3's are running 11sec quarters stock lol

yea man im pretty sure lol i saw it in car and driver this months issue or last month i mean i could be a complete asshole and be off but i coulda sworn i saw it otherwise i woullnt have put it out there im seriious if im wrong then sorry but i swear i saw it lol

that would be a bad driver.

they why would people buy vettes and stuff if they can get a m3 for way cheaper and supposably run faster id need to see proof on that one

The new M3's according to C&D run a 12.6 1/4 mile and 4.1 0-60
