330i? C230 Kompressor?

First off I liked to say that I put on the Protosport Downpipe system with Thermals new 3" Cat-back exhaust. I went to the track at LACR down here in cali where i ran a 16.129 previously with just a injen cai. With this new downpipe system wi ran a 15.518 and had a 4 mph increase 87.989. There was a stock VR6 that i race he did a 16.0xx with 87.4xx. I spanked him. This downpipe exhaust system i must say was a big improvement. Just to let you know the 15.518 converted to sea level is 15.052. What do you guys think? Anyways going on to my story.

I was on Reseda BLVD which is a long long street down here in Cali and basically a new white c230 Kompressor Sport Sedan was racing around (The guy was asian and there was conflict because i'm asian too) So his bling bling mercedes was going all fast and we got stopped at a light. I looked over at him as he looked at me, the light turned green and I launched and we are dead even through 1st gear. I shift to second as I lay lots of rubber and pull by 1/2 a car. By the end of 2nd gear i was about 1 car ahead of him and keep on going until the middle of 3rd I was about 1 1/2 cars and stopped. he zooms past me in his bling bling.

As for the 330i I was just crusing along and this 330i is weaving in and out of traffic and catches up to me and passes me. So i was like wtf he wants to run against the Mazdaspeed eh!!! ahah. Anyways we are stopped at a light and im behind him and the light turns green and hes off and i'm off. I'm about 1 car behind him from the start and we are just going through gears. 1st 2nd we were even the car lengths was 1 car just as the start. Going into 3rd I start catching up to about 3/4 car behind now and then I stopped. I looked at the guy and hes some old fawker. What do you guys think about the 330i? I thoguth they were a lot faster than that. I would be for sure that if my g/f and her friend was gone I would have caught up because they weigh about 220 combined weight. Plus I was driviing for 30 mins. previous to that. What do you guys think?

Just to let you guys know that the 2.4" downpipe system with the 3" exhaust helped out a lot for pwoer. The Car smells bad but performance is by far the best. I would recommend this system to any of you MSP people. The Thermal exahsut looks almost like stock which is a nice thing. The system is really loud inside but I have yet to hear it outside.
 
Wow, that dude with the VR6 couldn't drive. Was it a newer VR6? Those things easily do low 15's stock. Aren't they rated to do like a 14.9 quarter?

Yeah, I hate LACR becasue of the elevation.

Considering that the VR6 did a 87.4xx trap speed I was thinking that he could easily lower his time due to the fact that my trap speed was similar. He got off the line 2.4xx 60 ft where i got 2.3xx and by I2 I was already ahead of him by .4 of a sec. I3 I was closer to .5 sec. So it wasn't to close. At the end of the 1/4 mile I had caught up to him and passed him by like 1 car - car and a half. His reaction time was .4 sec faster than mine.

Don't 330i's also do a high 14 quarter? Good kill though :)

hehe, If in fact they do... do a high 14 in the 1/4 mile that would prove mytheory in my car possibly running 15.xxx or maybe even faster? I dunno though. The Downpipe w/ the 3" exhaust system helped out a lot. My turbo is fully spooled 500 rpm faster (3k rpm as opposed to 3.5k rpm) and it also holds its boost for a lot longer before dropping off.
 
87.9 mph? Hm, seems pretty low for running a 3" dp & exhaust. You're at stock boost right? I did 14.3 @ 98.5mph with just intake and boost controller, and expect the mph to be near 102 with exhaust.

Keep in mind that I was directly behind him when we started and I was not side by side. So when we started he was arleady 1 car ahead of me. As far as "got beet" I was catching up to him.

Yes I'm at stock boost. After the calculations converted to sea level my MPH goes around 90 mph. When you ran 14.3 how much boost were you running?
 
Shawn,
I will have pictures of it soon enough. We are currently deciding on the day to dyno it. i could probably take pictures of it on the ground but not on the racks. Would u want to see that?

HondaToMazda -

I would like to see the amount of clearance between the rear subframe and car body. There's not much space there and my current 60mm exhaust will rattle at that spot when the cooling fans kick on.

thats just dumb if you were looking to race and were directly behind somebody. what the hell's the point in that unless you know your car is for sure faster and you have more than ample space to pass the car in front of you.

catching up and actually staying in front or passing somebody are all very different things. you didn't pass him nor did you have the opportunity to. you were behind him the whole time. how did you manage to win this?

Dude your the one that comes in here and starts flaming. If in fact we were going to race side by side. I'll tell you that he was going to get smoked just to piss you off. Leave Troll.

BTW I was catching up to him before we both let off. Just because your car might not be able to keep up with one of those doesn't mean to have to flame me.
 
i couldn't care less if you were going to smoke his pole or whatever side by side. you didn't and you couldn't pass him. you may have been catching up but big deal. i had a friend in a faster car racing a cobra. the cobra had Drag radials he was driving on and got a really good launch(go figure) we played catch up and were in fact about to pass him but didn't by the time we got to teh 1/4 mile mark. that means we lost.

me and my 1100+ posts will stop trolling now

12.5psi spike leveling off to 10.5psi. I don't recommend that to anyone running pump gas. I don't plan to anymore.

I'm sorry I didn't feel like launching into his rear bumper so I can prove a point that I was faster than him.
