Well, CLEARLY it couldn't hold a candle to a stock e90/92. But I thought the scenery was nice. Hills, trees, etc.

maybe its time for you to join us John, so folks would have the pleasuire of meeting you, instead of us talking to a ghost writer.

We look fwd seeing your name one the PotLuck bbq Meet thread

I WISH I could come. It'd be my first event, and I'd love it. But I have to work until 10 or 10:30 on Saturdays.

I looked into getting the day off, and it's a no-go.

The Man is keeping me down with his Foot of O-pression.

i 'm very curious to see how a stage 1 (flash,ex,int) e92 335i could stand against a e92 m3 stock

johnjohn · 05-20-2007, 03:52 PM

Interesting thought. Depends on how much output you get with Stage 1, of course. Shiv Pathak's Vishnu Stage 1 car put out 340 hp and 390 lbs-ft. at the rear wheels on a Dynojet vs. 276/299 from a stock 335i manual on the same unit. (The auto seems to lose a lot more power in the drivetrain, testing at 270/265 on that same dyno.)

The 2008 M3 engine is rated at 420 hp and 295 lbs.-ft., which should amount to about 340 hp and 240 lbs.-ft. at the rear wheels. Logically, the Stage 1 should eat the M3's lunch.

But then there are dyno tests vs. the real world. If the M3 is lighter, geared lower and has a much higher-performance suspension, it might take the Stage 1, at least in the twisties. But with so much torque advantage coming on so much lower in the powerband on the Stage 1 335i, it's hard to imagine it wouldn't hold its own, at least, on a track.

Fortunately, we can rest assured that someone will race these cars once the new M3 comes out.
