Who gives a ****? Seriously? You guys need to get out there and drive your cars more than sit here and talk sh!t... Oh ya look at my **** its 1 second faster than yours!! Oh yea Im sooo cooollll

Sounds like a plan :tup:

Ice cold baby :cool:

What do you expect? This is a 370z forum, not a OMGI<3BMWstothedeathfanboi forum. There are not enough FI 370zs that have been on the strip in order for you or I to gauge their potential against a 335, but here is a nice example of what they are capable of.

Seb's first time out on the track with a TT 370z 6 speed manual, and this is a valid example since you claim a bolt on 335i has an edge over any FI 370z. Try 11.961 seconds at 122.13mph. More practice will take him lower in the 11's which given his trap speed is very possible. More boost will net even higher traps. There are also going to be a few A/T FI Zs that will be in the picture this year as well.

my arrogance is directed to the few people that just dont accept reality.

HR has been accused of many many things. all been proven to be false. he currently has a sedan on tune/meth still trapping 120+mph. the guy actually accusing him of whatever runs the bimmerboost.com sites and has a reputation of his own.

but yes, i saw the z that finally got to the strip. this is my point though, it takes that sort of level to compete with n54's. I came here to research what those level cars can and are doing.

the only reason im even bringin 1/4 mile results into this is because the mph shows what the cars are capable of and how they fare against other cars in exhibition of speed type encounters. (like what the begining of this thread was about...)

im not looking to prove superiority, just tryin to inform the crowd that the N54 is a strong DD competitor, and maybe enlighten some of you as to what to expect.


i have only heard of a few cars encountering problems, and those were related to various gremlins, whether it be because bmw didnt give them a oil cooler until later, or they had an overlly aggressive tune. eitherway, lots of 1/3 series take part in that sort of racing and again, are rather formidable, but as we all know, driver dependent :)
posts like that are nonsense.. you read the title, you came in here just as the rest did. you dont like what your reading? dont respond. my bad for trying to show a different avenue of cars and their capabilities. yes, your in sacremento, lots of n54 that way, play with one :)

What do you mean it takes that sort of level to compete with the N54's. You mean it takes TT to compete with a TT? Try comparing 100% stock vs 100% stock. That's a more fair comparison. There is only one 135i that's close to my time and trapped a bit higher.

:iagree: 100% stock vs 100% stock. Once you start modding **** gets crazy. Stock for stock. That's it!!!

Ice ice baby.

all right stop

collaborate and listen

Ice is back with my brand new invention

Something grabs a hold of me tightly

Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly

Will it ever stop yo I don't know

Turn off the lights and I'll glow

To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal

I think the biggest problem is all the 1 series are front wheel drive.

Yeah and it doesn't help that they have a live axle front wheel drive design with an open differential.

But it really doesn't make sense to use a mid-engine design with fwd. Only the germans would think to do something like that.

Germans? What. BMW stands for British Motor Works.

I should have known that, since they stole the rotary engine in the car from the germans

I even heard that the W in BMW really stands for Wankel. British Motor Wankel. Makes perfect scents.

I thought it stood for Wankers?

Anyways, I just don't understand why anyone would still use leaf springs in something that is sold as a pure, stripped down sports car.

I agree, especially considering how everyone is so eco friendly these days.

Yeah, I heard the leaf springs alone put off more C02 than all the Prius's in the world combined.

You can't beat the performance, though. Plus they look so pretty in the fall.

True. It would be nice if they didn't use such an inefficient supercharger from the factory though. Or if they didn't rust out everytime they were caught in a spring rain.

Well I heard they were going to add a supercharger to the exhaust for better flow. That should help with the intake supercharger. And a coating of rustoleum clear will go a long way.

best thread ever reped to those

I heard they were going Direct Injection to deal with the rusting issues. It derustifies pretty efficiently

Did you actually modify your Z with Kool-Aid? Are you that desperate to beat the 335i? HA!

There's still sooo much road noise though. :rofl2:

I bet if they add a BOV to the exhaust it will open things up a lot.

yeah bro you never heard that those run on juice boxes

i just brew my own :stirthepot:

Haha! I can't wait to share this information with my BMW buddies. Real cars run on Twining's Earl Grey!

My favorite of the traditional Earl Grey teas is Bigelow. Personally, I find Twinings too light and a bit sour. My favorite Earl Grey is made by Revolution, and includes lavender as an ingredient. If you want an Earl Grey that doesn't hold back on the bergamont, and you don't mind some extra tannins, I'd suggest Rishi or Tazo. If you want to try an Earl with a unique citrus zing, go for Stash Double Bergamont. I think it includes grapefruit flavoring (just my perception). Lady Grey by Twinings also tastes great, and includes small blue flowers, which you can see in the loose leaf version. Cool visual effect against the dark black tea leaves.

Not too mention the oil temperature issues. That thing overheats if you take it to the track. That's why you gotta mix kool aid in with the oil to help absorb the excess heat. The heat vaporizes the kool aid and the kool aid vapors come out of the exhaust. It makes your exahust gases taste :yum:

:iagree:, only Bigelow does not qualify for free 2-day super saver shipping. ;)

I only drink coffee in the morning and usually only one cup. I'm a pharmacist and used to drink coffee all day long for a little pick-me-up when my energy flagged, but the coffee sometimes bothered my stomach since I drank so much. My doctor suggested I switch to tea.
I started drinking L****n tea, you know the one in the yellow and red box, what did I know about tea? I was working at the time with a young Chinese man (a friend of my son's) and he was a Star Trek fan, as am I. When I went out for a container of tea one day I asked if he wanted anything and he asked for Earl Grey. I asked why and he told me that Capt. Pickard on Gen II always ordered "Earl Grey hot" from the replicator. I laughed as I had seen that too and just never connected with the brand and had one also.
Well, I liked it so much that it became my favorite tea. I still have English Breakfast and some Chinese teas sometimes, but I must have Earl Grey with my dinner. Sometimes people wonder at my "tea sophistication" and I don't tell them where my preference actually comes from.If they only knew.

Twinings was founded in London, England in 1706, and has a long and respected tradition of producing only the finest of teas. Earl Grey tea was named after Charles Grey, Second Earl Grey (1764-1845), and is a mixture of black tea and oil of bergamot (a small acidic orange). It is said that Earl Grey learned the recipe of this delicious tea from a Chinese Mandarin and brought it home to England, where it has been a favorite ever since.

OK, let's get down to brass tacks - this is a great tea, produced by a great company, and is my all-time favorite. The tea produced has a wonderful aroma, and an excellent taste. But, a couple of words of warning - don't over-steep the tea, or it will quickly become bitter and unpalatable. Also, while sugar goes well with this tea, I have found that milk dilutes the bergamot too much, and lemon completely hides the bergamot which is the reason for drinking it!
