me & my friends had met up to go eat and my friend drove his dad's e430 (lorinser kit, exhaust, intake, rims) and i was in my type s.....he kept tellin me to run it with him and so on the way we slowed down for a light to turn red........when we took off....he started to pull away in first gear at about 3000-4500 rpm...when vtec kicked in.....i started to catch up and at the end of second, i was 3/4 car length ahead.......i raced him with vsa off and in sport shift(for a longer 2nd gear) and i talked $hit to him all night.........

Yeah, i did the same thing too. My friend has a 2000 e430 sports w/AMG rims. I raced him 5 times from 0-85.... I beat him till 65-70, then after that, the V8 kicked in. But he was shocked how fast the TLS was.

 

I raced a '97 740i last nite and off the line I was definitely ahead. We raced to about every other light and I took him with no problem. Although I suspect had it been on a highway, he would have caught up with me at about 80 or so.

 

Good kill!
If it was any longer the MB will definitely pass you.

 

good kill! get the headers and RES so you can be competitive above 80!

 

Guys guys guys.

If you wind your Type-S out to 7200 in 2nd and 3rd you will be a match for either the 430 or 740 up to 115MPH.

I've done it enough times to know first hand. If you don't believe me then try it out for yourself.
