Well i gotta buddy with a Z4 3.0 and id really like to beat him. what do you guy think, is it just wishful thinking?

itll be from a 30 roll and he is stock with 6MT. they run 14 flat for a 1/4 mile

Hmm. I don't know much about Z4's (I'm assuming it's the BMW Z4?) But based upon the 1/4 mile time you posted, I think he'll edge you out. 14 flat is damn near impossible to get with our TLs without Forced Induction.

Run a search, I think Uglypsycho posted timeslips once and with his supercharged 2nd Gen TL-S he didn't break into the 13s... came very close though!

Yeah, Nos will put you into the 13s. But considering how frequently you're racing, it will stress your engine faster than a supercharger.

I've never had Nos myself... had a forced induction setup before... but if I had nos.. i think i'd have a hard time not using Nos whenever a decent challenge came my way!

If he didnt break into 13's with boost he had a leak somewhere. I boosted TL-S should run minimum 13.5 and from what I've seen 13.1 is the best time boosted on a 6spd CL. You get a 14.1 with I/H/E/P . All numbers depend on the driver and condition of the car of course.

My best time on a 3rd Gen TL 5AT was 13.12 at 108mph. With a supercharger and a 50 shot of N20.

Damn, I'm sure if you were willing to do a 75shot it would be 12.9, but either way 13.12 is very impressive.

whatt how can a supercharge tls not break into 13... SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH HIS MOTOR THEN. Man i have a TLP. little MOD. and 75 shot NOS. I made it into 13's if you don't believe me u can ask my cousin who has A white TLS he's a member of Acurazine just don't have his SN. RIGHT NOW MY CAR no spray i can walk him from start to finish. he has headers comptech icebox and blah blah.. BUT seriously if you invest in a supercharger and not break 13's then mannnnn that sucks.
