So if that is what you were up against I'm not surprised you lost :wink:

SRT8 does 0-100 in 4.7? Geeh. That thing weighs a TONNE . Id imagine I would destroy one...perhaps not?

Sorry to hear harpoon

harpoon · 01-12-2009, 02:47 PM

haha thanks for that Breville. The annoying thing is I can't go to track days with no road licence. I wouldn't have thought it mattered.

aus135i · 01-12-2009, 03:42 PM

Kris it weights 2 tonnes but the way it went from 60 upwards.. sigh... 317KW & 569Nm

p.s srry to bring my story in to ur thread Harpoon

Kris · 01-12-2009, 06:45 PM

hmmm, 135 with a chippie has more torque :P far less weight too. I think a 135 would kill one!

lol, there aren't many cars that weigh less than a tonne.... in fact, if it weighed a tonne, it's no wonder it beat you :wink:

6.1L HEMI® SRT8 Sedan Auto
From RRP $74,990 AUD

5-Speed Automatic transmission with Autostick®
317kW 6.1L HEMI with 569 Nm of torque

Those SRT8's are really fast. At what point did the SRT8 take the lead? Was it close??

Sorry to hear about your bad luck Harpoon.

Sorry to say BMW86.. but it was not close... not by my stands anyhow... off the lights we got the upper hand, but from 60KM/H onwards it just pulled away...by abt 140km/h it was 3 cars infront and still gainning fast!

time to chip the 135i

They have been for about 3 years. They are quick but I wouldn't think a stockie would pound a 135 like that, though they are hard to get off the line with all the weight.

If it walked you that bad I'm thinking it's not stock.

Tj303 · 01-14-2009, 06:14 AM

the SRT8 may be fast in a straight line, but it will handle like a boat on the twisty stuff

Yerr you are right but............... straight line winning in a drag race, pretty cool.

Kris · 01-14-2009, 04:08 PM

I think the SRT musta been modified.. I saw one yesterday give it a bit near Kograh, i was fairly unimpressed! I think a 135 would kill one!

found this:

"Chrysler conservatively estimates a rest to 100kmh acceleration time of 5.5 seconds, but we squeezed a time of 5.2 seconds. "

Sorry to hear about your misfortune harpoon.

As for your car being tucked away in the garage somewhere that is the worst possible thing you can do to it. Being a nice guy and trying to help out fellow BMW owner I could take your car for a drive every now and then, I promise I won't chase any V8s.:smile:

Xin1120 · 01-18-2009, 02:24 PM

Got another one under the belt. 47 on a 35. I didn't even see him until after I took a turn at around 30. He said he thought I was trying to run away from him. And in my head I was going "if i was trying to run, i wouldn't be going only 47 in this car."
