370z vs 2011 -10 M3

Z eliminator · 09-02-2011, 09:48 AM

My buddy sold his Z and got a new 400 hp M3.
We will be drag racing at day 2 of the ontario Z drag day on Sept 24 at St Thomas raceway.

so we will see who is quicker.
the M3 or a fully modified N/A 370 z ( 7 AT)

the track is not good for traction. My best time there is a 12.67 with @ 1.95 60 ft.
I usually get 1.85 60 ft times.

It should be a good race.

hope fully i can get into the 12.4's and give him a good run.

You should beat him. There is a 6spd Z in my area with similar mods as you including the gears and he puts the beat down on the M3 all the time.

I have no doubt he can but as we all know these things have tons of variables with the biggest being the driver. I've read enough of the OP's posts that I'm not worried about him giving a good run depending on the M3 driver. It will either be a close run (M3 driver good) or a blow away by the OP....just my opinion though.

good luck This means "good luck it will be close" Really? Seems more like "your stupid, good luck cause your gonne need it" Maybe you need a few more lessons on how to post on a forum.

maybe you need to stop being so defensive.
Back on topic: Good luck with the race OP, and please post results

djpathfinder · 09-02-2011, 10:21 AM

Is it a stock M3? You might have trouble with a modded M3. Good luck and have fun spanking his ***.

There are a few. Check the 1/4 mile thread.

Steve has his 370 set up for drag racing. It really should be a no contest win for the Z in this case. Steve's very consistent.

Dude, calm down and take your own advice. Stop taking every post as a threat and as something full of hate. Your just looking to start a fight now.

Yeah I did it once and ONLY ONCE! A lot of it was mostly luck and just perfect conditions at the time. Best time outside of that was a 13.2 stock, but only had 4 runs that day. There is one other person who has done 12.9 stock, but I don't know if that was only once or if he was able to do it multiple times.

My friend just got an 08 M3 6MT as well and he bought his with an exhaust. I have an exhaust and will hopefully have intakes on soon too. We are going to the drag strip later this month so I will let you guys know how it goes. I know he's going to be faster than me, but I'm more interested in how much the difference is. Not sure how good of a driver he is though. I will say that last time I went out there I did consistently better than 2 Camaro SS's.
