95 max GXE vs. 97 BMW 328is

[rustytrustymax]

today I raced my friend 97 BMW 328is automatic from a 10mph roll. I peeled all of first gear and a little of second gear and he was never ahead of me, only slightly gaining when I shifted. Once I hit 3rd gear in the upper rpms he was gone I had him by atleast 2 car lengths. All my car has is a stillen Y pipe.

If you read closely...both people are saying they beat the BMW

[Grzesiu]

wacked a 330ci stick with an ugly body kit like 10 times the guy wouldnt give up

orly? by him saying "he was gone" it sounds like the bimmer just took off, not really making it sound like he beat him. Or do I have poor comprehension? lol

Yes, reading comprehension > you

If you continue to read, he states he had the 328 by "atleast 2 car lengths"

Correct, BUT he says "he was gone" I think "I was gone" would be more appropriate or he was "left behind" but "he was gone- I had at least 2 car lengths" sounds wrong to me. Oh well.

thats it. no if and or buts. that was a whole sentence. no commas nothing.


i thought they would take off in higher gear. they seems fairly decent on the highway. I have a 318 that i need to go up against

[nightwolf7236]

hmmm i wish i would have read with my glasses on whoops, but yea i the wording got me. o well

[SuperVinN]

i smoked a del-sol! hahahahhaha started on second gear on a stop! hahahahahha

[nightwolf7236]

i thought del-sol was kinda fast. was it turbo?

[Goldtooth]

my engine is the size of a del-sol,,,,,,,LOL (not literally)

[nightwolf7236]

thats why i thought they quick especially with turbo,

[Just_A_Wrx]

Anything can be made fast with the right amount of money.
Stock though I dont think they are any better than 15-16 second cars.

Del-Slow came in 3 diff engine variants.

S-aka SLOW model had 90HP engine at 1st then upped to 106HP.
Si- Sport Injection- uuuuhhhh aaahhhh- 125HP thanks to WITEK.
VTEC model was powered by a B16 with 160HP.

VTEC ones where fun to drive, pretty quick lil cars. Bout as fast as a auto 4th gen.

There was no Turbo Del-Slows.

[NIGHTMAREuki]

i would prefer older MR2 turbo over del-sol, IMO looks much better when cared for

[DasTeknoViking]

MR2 is a big money pit. They use a Corolla tranny that can barely cope with stock power of the 3SGTE.
