OK, my friends intro me to this new guy around my neighborhood who just moved with his M3. Its the 333hp M3. i dont know the year, all i know is its Red and Stock and an M3. I havent asked him questions about it. But we were talking about launching and thats when he started Saying HE WAS NEVER BEATEN and how he even pulled on a EvoMR lightly Modded from the launch. (lol)
Anyways, back to the story. I know even with all the Boltons i will still lose. But i wanna keep this 1 atleast close
i have TypeS, im thinkin to spend some before race him.
IceBox.
Headers
Pulley
Thermoblock spacers.
And take as much weight out of the car as i can. Including losing some weight myself lol.
If thats not enough, ill look into AFC. Lets me know if i can atleast stay close to him otherwise i wont bother moddin. just for this cause.
Rite now M3 quarter-mile is 13.4
Doin the math, i don think i have a chance unless i FI my TLS

 

hmmm...maybe he'll fuck up shifting like the M5 i beat...

but seriously, the advice i'll give you is to wait on those 18" wheels (as shown in your sig)...even with those bolt-ons, i'm sure he'd still win...and even though he'll pull ahead of you from a dig, i bet you could make it a close race after adding a few things...

 

From the stories he been tellin, i think he is a good MT driver. i really dont want the 18s but my 17ns are not straight anymore, my sterring wheels shakes at 60mph cause the wheels arent straight because of the road. if i get some cheaper Stock wheels, im not planning to put 18ns. Plus the TypeS Wheels matches my SatinSilver and shines at night

 

first of all, fix your wheel problem!

anyways, normal stock TL-S runs 14.8s, which is quite a long way from 13.5 of the M3. With bolt ons though, you can definitely close the gap a bit. Now don't be scared because he beat a lightly modded EVO. American EVOs are slower than JDM ones (they can do high 12's), and you really have to dump the clutch at high rpm to get a good launch (which most drivers wouldn't do). Still, I am sure that your new friend can run 14s easily if not faster and that's hard to beat even with bolt ons. If I were you I would supercharge or turbocharge the TL first. But that can get $$....

 

get a nos set up and then run em

 

LOL. do what dirtyjohn does. but without nos. dont even try. its pointless racing a m3 there is no way in hell we can beat one with just simple bolt on.

 

 

Save your money.

 

...and your gas...

 

....and my Pride (by not racing )

 

Are you lousy AT?


If so, you need a Quad Turbo Charger and larger displacment. You also need drag strip tires....

 

.... you mean.... fart? eewww

 

Yeah, there is no way on this green earth a TL will keep up with an M3 from a dig. The M3 launches REALLY well, you will do a lot better from a roll 25mph and up.

 

tell him to come see me in about a month or so

buy my headlights and maybe ill have it all set in about 2 weeks

 

Lets do this, instead of me doing any shipping and stuff, ill come there and we make a deal.

 

Hard task to beat an m3 with your tl imo. I believe they run low 13s stock.

 

borrow DIRTYJOHN'S NOS TL.

 

yea i dnt even think withall those bolt ons and the Apexi Neo u would beat himseeing as tho its a MT and all...u may runlike a 13.6 or 13.7 with all that stuff on if ur lucky

 

No, what you need is Dirty John's TL..

 

u need boost to beat a M3

 

correction he'll need a TL-S spraying a 100 shot. plat tell ur boy ill have the money for the kit hopefully by mid august.

 

no way in hell you'll beat that m3 with all the possibile bolt ons u can get...keep in mind that a s/c 3rd gen TL can ONLY keep up with the m3... i believe same for the 2nd gen..

 

just get a hot girl ridin shotgun and when hes about to race, say you have more important things to DO

 

i got and 06 tl mt i raced an 04 m3 to the top of second gear and i was side by side with him the whole time... he was very shocked lol i jsut smiled and drove off lol i love my tl!

 

NO FREAKIN WAY... or maybe the other guy simply sucks with MT. I know for a fact that there is no way our 3rd gen TL will stand the slightest chance with the E46 M3, given that you put a decent MT driver behind the wheel. I never take on any M3 with my TL, save myself from some embarassment and gas money.

Anyway those M3 are teh shit. They are the real deal, Ive owned one before and there arent many cars out there without some serious modifications that can outperform them.

 

DID IT B4 numerous time

 

Well I will give you a heads up. Ive seen many 6spds at the track running consistant low 13's @105-107MPH. 13.1 @107 M3 was against a 13.0@109 for a 00 M5 both stock!! The SMG is slower and harder to drive(ive driven one and I prefer the 6spd). Race from a roll because they tear out of the hole shot!

 

U r SPRAYIN my friend. Thats a completely different scenario. Im never a big fan of NOS, dunno what they might of caused to the engine in long run.

Well SMG worked fine for me, but again, thats prolly because I wasnt too good with manual tranny.

lol thats why i stopped at second gear i know if i would have kept going the beast would have eatin me alive lol.. it did have and smg trans..

 

wow y dont u put a supercharger lol..

 

no way the TL is beating and E46, now imagine he has the same bolt on you have....that's gonna be my next car..but the new V8 model

 

i beat a 05..he didnt know how to drive for shyt

 

^ or maybe he wasnt racing?

 

Well i havea goal of 3.2 to 3.5 Conversion with all the Boltons, Supercharger and AFC NEO. than ill show the M3 whos the Boss

 

And if i planned for a 75Shot after all that, ill show the 08 V8M3 whos the Boss too
