thanks for the input though

smart kid-finally. But I say it again, don't be too confident. If you pick on one on the freeway and its stock--well--your not, so again you will win. But if you were-you would lose. On the same point--if it is modded--depending on the mods-it may be good race. Tehre are lots of mid to low 12s srt8s out there and even plenty in the elevens. You werecomparing stock to modded--not your fault--some dumb/cocky kid called you out.
stock-the srt8 and 335 are bout a dead heat in the 1/4 mile--anything longer or a roll race--srt wins. Trust me

Oh and for info...against the viper the race is neck to neck 65-115 and I pull 1 1/2 car on him after that (I stop at 145 because limiter) But see the face driver of Viper... The guys is very confused...

A+


**Mike UR DP come this week...**

can't wait to see what up do with the Downpieps--its the biggest thing in my opinion after the tune. I am positive you will be in the elevens too!

Yeah--when you see an srt8 at the track they don't look all that impressive in stock form--like you say-the one you saw ran 13.1 at 108. Just remember thats a 4300 lb. car--that has to be feathered on the launch without DRs--and your and my car when stock-run around 13.4-13.6 stock at 105.

SRT8 owners can go on the internet and order a diablo handheld tuner for $350, and in 5 munutes tune their car. Now that same car will run 12.7-12.8-or low to mid 12s on Drag Radials. But what the tuner really does is remove the huge amounts of factory torque mnagement that comes in those cars.

they can get a cam ($500) tune on a dyno with diablo ($800) and exhaust ($1000) and now they are 440-450 to the rear wheels and will run low 12s all day on street tires.

All I am saying is be careful the comparisons when we are all running tunes--JB3 makes your car somewhere around 370-400 to the wheels with race gas. and people always want to compare that to a STOCK srt8 (375-382 rwhp) which weighs 500 lbs more than our cars. Compare apples to apples. Stock to stock--the srt8s will hang with us and beat us on the longer roll races.

The original poster didn't do anything wrong--got called out by a cocky kid that doesn' know jack about cars.

By the way--if your friend in the challenger races you like you say--roll races--you wil still beat him. but thats because your modded and he is not.

Let me know how it turns out..

yes SRT8 weight 4300lbs...but XI's is not a light weight to..3960lbs with me inside + drivetrain AWD

A+

I had installed 1.3 rev3 since 15 minutes..I will go make some test today
on highway... I hope is a bit better than 1.22

Srt-8's are no joke from a highway roll. I have posted a run on here against my buddy with a 300c Srt8. He traps 115 all day with a tune, stall converter, and exhaust. He had 4 people in the car, against me and 1 other person when I was beta testing the Jb3 last year. Lets just say I was shocked at the results. By the time I was almost even with him, we where closing in on 140mph.

wow--let me know how it goes. I havn't added the 1.3 yet but I intend to. They sure are getting nice results with it in the RWD 335.

thanks for the honesty--the stall converter really changes the SRT8s launch ability--they can load em up. I have one in my heavily modified 300C and I can run 0-60s in the 4.1-4.3 range.

Your results are like mine--my 335Xi from a 50-120 roll, with JB3 and downpipes, dead even with my tuned srt8. Now--in map 7 or 8--with race fuel--the 335Xi pulls a little. but in map 6 or less-even to about 120--then the srt8 pulls--it is wicked strong from 100-150.

you said it bro---I was at Milan dragway wednesday night--just goofin around and running some 1/4s. pulled right of the street and ran a casual 12.26 @116. Trailblazer guy, Vette, GTO, Cobra..and several others walked up and said "nice ride dude--your running a Juice Box aren't you".

It is funny, but you are SOO right. I was at the track and I hadn't even run yet, just sitting in line. I had tons of people come up all grinning and excited asking if I had "the juicebox" installed. They seemed sad that I didn't...

[CONSTRUCTauto.com]

Mine and my dads car. I'm running proceede v3 Rev II, DCI, and Air Scoops. 9.5s in the back *tires*.
He's Stock, and we're both automatic. He's still breaking his in since he got it last week, but it's slow... It's heavy... and it's fat... But when we roll together everyone looks at his first since it's red
Either way, he doesn't stand a chance against me.. Every time we have a go, I boss hogg him.

I come back from highway.

I have test map 7 only on 94oct. Car pull very very well. No limp.

My opinion: sure we have more low end torque 2500-4000 rpm. The car pull more hard and no lag. After 4000rpm...seem to be the same power...maybe a bit better. I'm very happy...no limp with 94oct...because is my daily map.

next week test with vp109, DP and map 8. For break 11's

For info temp: sunny and 45 deg. here at Montreal

Outstanding!!! Seriously-I gurantee you will hit elevens with the DPs....

I got to get that 1.3 and see what happens...

of course! he is stock. Give me his car, and let me go tune and intake--and then we will go from a roll and different results. or better yet--go back to stock and see what happens with it then.

please give some input before i start talkin haha

[add1cted2]

I've been reading this thread and I have to say it's quite interesting. First of, most of the comments are honest comments, not too much boasting.

But for me, the real question is lap times around a track. I'm not so interested in straight-line acceleration. I maybe stating the obvious here but BMW cars are designed as a balanced car. Just look at their testing facilities...they have one at the Nurburgring.

I really want to see a 335i vs SRT8 or Mustang GT on track doing laps.

According to this video, the 335i beats, by a fraction of a second, the more powerful and more expensive S5.

Let me know what you guys think.

stock S5 and stock 335 is same power around 330hp at crank.

[vegasspeed]

Wait, what? A stock S5 has more hp by about 30 on our cars. The problem is we have better torque. An S5 is still rather slow for all you spend on the car. I almost bought an S4 and couldn't do it since the modding of a V8 is too expensive if I wanted a little more power. 335i coupe FTW!
