If you have a SES light I'd check the code before I went out beating on the car! Did you mean service vehicle soon?

Lets sum up the facts here. Im not sure how big of an effect having 610 miles on a car has on a race... but to even out the disadvantage i took his 220 pound friend in the car with me. I had one passenger he was by himself. I have a jb2 335i thats it. He is completely stock slk 55amg hardtop convertible

OK so.
We lined up for the first run a 40mph roll. Keep in mind he is a 7 speed automatic. We both hit it at 40 and slowly but surely i start to pull on him. He was at my back bumper shifting from 2nd into 3rd. By 125 mph, with his 220 pound friend in my car I had pulled 2.5-3 car lengths. Keep in mind he has 610 miles on his car
Race 2-
The second time we did a 20 mph roll. We both screeched out of 1st and again i automatically started to pull. by 125mph the outcome was the same as the first race -3 car lengths.
race 3-
This time I kicked his ogre friend (220 pounds) out of my car. We did a 20 mph roll. I had 0 passengers and he took his friend back into his car. All i can say is WOW.
by 125mph i pulled 5-6 cars easily.

I feel bad for this kid. Before his slk 55 amg he had a slightly modded e46 M3 with chip intake and exhaust and i still gave him a pretty bad beating. Imagine how he must feel spending 70k on a car when im paying a little more than half the price of that for a 335 with one 350 dollar mod, only to beat him again. I know, having 610 miles on the slk has a huge impact on the race, nonetheless i beat him with a very,very big passenger in my car.

Cheers.
335i ftw

2 days ago, I raced my friend with a 2003 G35 Twin Turbo boosting around 9psi with 405hp 330tq at the wheels, no cats, upgraded downpipes and exhaust. with 285 tires in the back. We did 40mph Roll on 3rd gear till 110 mph on a two lane highway. i pulled on him in 3rd gear by half a car. then at the end of 4th gear i was at 110mph and he was about like 2ft as in hood to hood ahead of me. I guess having a longer gear Ratios in my ride is nice. He was shifting to 4th gear while i was still at like 6000+ RPM going towards red line.

He was yelling at me at the end of the race " What the hell are you doing ! DID YOU START IN 2nd Gear ! " I was like Hell no! surprised ?

Well, when he breaks it in try again. But definitely don't spot him the weight of a passenger. That is like a 20hp disadvantage. You are taking away 1/2 the advantage that you gained with your JB2. What octane were you running?With high octane you should gain some more HP.

He has a Twin Turbo G35 and only makes 330tq at the wheels? Hmmm...and you were pretty much dead even? I have a hard time believing this.

E90ICE Yes i find it hard to believe that i was neck to neck with him. But yes his dyno result shows that he only got about 330tq at the wheels. I've been afraid by his numbers of 405hp at the wheels and all his stories of all the cars he claimed he spanked. But 2 days ago i decided i was gonna run him and see how my JB2 can do. I always believe in the BMW Performance DNA will be better than Infiniti's haha.

My next big race will be when my brother inlaw gets his Carrera 4S. thats about 355hp on paper. 0-60 about 4.6 on paper but around 4.3 as tested. I'm scared of that lol But i cant wait
