E90 Kills

Anyone got stories with your E90's and any kills against other cars? Post your stories (Although speeding and drag racing is not condoned) if you got something to tell! I'm still breaking in my car so it'll be a couple more weeks before I race anyone! If this thread is popular, maybe we can get the administrator to keep it permanently!

That's like smoking a guy on a bicycle.

Please go look for a 2005 G35 coupe or Audi A4 and tell us what happens. I'm curious.

Ok guys, don't just post single sentences!! Tell us the whole story! And yes, please make sure the cars are at least somewhat challenging for the E90s (some ricer cars are acceptable if they are modded).

I think the G35 will win because it's 298 hp compared to 255hp. That's what I think but then again...who's in the bimmer? it's like Porsche vs modded Subaru Imprezza STi ....Porsche is always a Porsche

well the 260-270 hp couldn't beat the 220 hp 330 so why should the new ones be different?

speed is about more than a horsepower number, look at gearing, torque curves, There's alot more to it than "heck it's got 40 more hp it's gotta be faster"

E36 M3's have 240 hp, the same as a honda accord V-6 do you think the honda's just as fast????

Nice, keep us posted. Magazine racing is lame, so I'd like to know what the real-life results are. Make sure you guys do it safely

My friend lost with a 89 Mustang 5.0 to a civic. He fuked up and missed shifted. The second time around he crushed it.

was cruisin on the fwy when a 350z entered, pulled up beside him and tapped on the gas a little, pass him up about 2 cars and let him catch up, when we're nose to nose he punches the gas and gets about a half car on me before i realize what is going on, so i punch the gas, within 3 seconds (with both of us with the pedal to the metal) he's in my rearview and he takes the next exit.

against a 350Z!! nice! woohoo! What speed would you say you guys were going? 350z has a ton of torque down low but runs out of breath pretty easily once it gets up in the higher RPM's. I know cuz I used to own one.

he took off full throttle before i did and kept his foot on the pedal, so im sure he had some sort of intention behind that... just my intuition.

That's cool, just having some fun with you.

But this I know for a fact. The first car that I plan on fucking with will be an A4. I am currently in Germany and see them like in every corner.

Yeah well, I'm in germany and the closest thing to a TL is the German version on the Accord (I think it's the same as a TL) and A4's every where.

Actually, it's the Acura TSX.... The only problem is that the European Accord version doesn't have the same motor as the TSX. Most of them have the I-CDTI diesel in them with about 140 horsepower.... The only thing the European Accord would win at is fuel range.
