ESS supercharged M3...

[Turk]

This is why I didn't believe Grabber beat a supercharged M3. They are making more power than a zr1.

modded cobras beat all, even when having boost leaks and transmission issues. the cold weather only helps these modded cobras too, no other boosted car will see a gain. c'mon turk, you should know this.

sick numbers

The difference between the torque and hp is huge! Is that normal? My car probably makes 400rwtq on a cool day.

 

[TonzKnock-G]

Cmon you know M3's dont need torque..... silly you

[blakbearddelite]

Is the argument that torque or horsepower wins races?

Either way, this car would destroy mine. I was just curious about the difference.

Is this on a stock motor?

 

[TonzKnock-G]

where do you find this stuff?

 

[Turk]

The motor is an hp motor. Stock motor with pump gas and a vortech.

But the real question is how does it launch!

If it was a Wagon M3 Turk you know it would have dominated that Slowbra.

Torque wins race - Carroll Shelby

How much boost? Also, it seems a bit lean up to 5K rpms.

Not a certain 03 Cobra on this board. Cobra's cannot lose to M3s.

Alright Jason, if I get this kit, we'll race, since your car makes much more torque than this motor. As a matter of fact, the guy with this kit is local. Are you willing to race him? I'll put $500 that you get your doors blown off. I'm not sure how much boost, its the 600hp kit though, so maybe 6-8lbs. 12.0a/f ratio is lean?

 

[The Broken Regal]

how much does that cost, like for you to send them the car, parts labor dyno etc etc?

30k? just going of the MM prices lol

 

[Turk]

There's a shop in Palatine that will do it, probably 12-13k all said and done.

Why do you always compare my car to everything? 600+ whp and 400 ft/lbs is a big disparity. My car makes 475/412 for reference.

As for the race, put more money on it if you are so sure. Launching a 600plus rwhp IRS car isn't easy and I've got a proven combo. Bettter have some extra bolts on hand for your fellow M3 buddy

 

[Turk]

A proven combo? you haven't proven anything yet.

 

[jason05gt]

A proven combo? you haven't proven anything yet.

My car has 30,000 miles on it at 450-475whp. It has a solid rear axle that's PROVEN for years in drag racing. There are literally thousands of S197 Mustangs that are running boost through the 3V.

The M3 in question for all I know could have a blown motor by now. I too can throw more hp at the dyno for some "glory runs". Like I said, bring the bolt!

30,000 miles driving back and forth to work granny shifting it. Big deal. That's why I'll let these guys be my guinea pigs for a year before I do anything.

Yea, my car has a 3,000 rpm limiter on it. I might have been granny shifting when I put bus lengths on your car Maybe even double clutching!!
