Guessing my 0-60 w/jb3

I have a 09 335i coupe with the six speed manual. My mods include, JB3 2.0 on map 5 with 91 octane, dual cone intake, and gutted secondary cats. I have 265's on 9.5 inch rims in the rear.

I consider myself an above average manual driver, but by no means am I excellent. I usually quickly feather the clutch out around 2k rpm to launch.

Since I don't have any method to accurately test my 0-60, what would be your guess in ideal conditions?

Why don't you just have a friend sit in the back seat with a stopwatch?

Probably 4.1 to 4.4 seconds. It all depends on your launch

Well, that would add another 200lbs to my car. What I really should do is mount a video camera to my gauge cluster. That way I could review it later.

On second thought, If I could get someone to hang out in the trunk it a stop watch, their weight might help with traction. lol

0-60mph is pretty meaningless. 0-100mph or any 'time to distance' measurement is a much better metric for determining a cars real performance in the real world.

Having said that I would say you're going to be at 4.5 secs or under if you know what you're doing.

Yes it is meaningless, but it's the first thing people ask when they see my car...

(and I feel pretty stupid going..."well, I don't know")

Frankly, if you had better traction (read: drag slicks) and a perfect launch, I'm betting you could go under 4 seconds, with something like a 1.8 second 60-foot time. Especially if you had either an LSD (wavetrac, say) or a steptronic.

My opinion stands on your current setup, however: 4.1 - 4.4 seconds with your 6mt and radials.
