BMW z3 Kill

[johnnytsi]

After working late last night (11:30pm) I was on my way home cruising up I405 minding my own business, when a new bmw z3 convertible appears from behind and starts paceing me. At first I didn’t think anything of it, but after about the third surge forward a car length, I kind of got a clue that this bozo thought he wanted some??? Geeze, what is it with folks and their “expensive” sports cars wanting to pick on us poor slobs? OK, I think, lets see just how far this guy is willing to go to prove that my lowly dsm is inferior to his $35,000+ sports car. I matched his next surge forward, that’s all the encouragement he needed and tried to walk away from me! Hee, heee, heee! Needless to say, I totally spanked his z3 driving @ss. After about 10 car lengths, I flashed my brake lights and stared coasting, only to have him try the infamous flyby maneuver, well, I let him get to within two car lengths and hammered the gas again! Same result, after he was WAY back, I let off and let him catch up. At this point I thought the z3 had had enough of a spankin, ohhh no (some folks never learn I guess) The freeway started on a long downhill stretch and this guy evidently thought that he could take me with a downhill advantage ???? I totally walked away from him again. After he had caught back up, the z3 paced next to me for a couple of miles without the surging, then turned off. Too bad it was dark, I would have given anything to watch this guy’s face as my budget commuter car (less than 5k total invested) wiped the freeway with his z3.

Don't rag on BMW Z3s, he probably had no mods, and his car interior and style is 50x better than a Talon's will ever be. I'm sorry I don't like to put DSMs down in anyway, but putting down BMWs isn't cool either, I like them

 

[TotalEclipse98]

The cost of your car and the mods you've put into it is less than $5k or the mods themselves were that much?

And yes, I know about the z3, my friend has a 3.0 z3 and I agree, they aren't anything special, the point was that this guy thought he had easy picking. My car looks pretty pedestrian from the outside, just like every other early 90's freeway commuter.

I have 5k total invested in my Talon, I bought it with a blown timing belt and rebuilt the engine, found some good deals on used parts, bought a new turbo

sure you would, actually he is right, he would prob destroy you... I can kill any BMWs with exception to the M series... I'm not saying BMWs arent nice cars, because they are but they are mostly made for luxury and handling, strait line and highway arent their style. BTW im so confident in this because my brother owns a Z4 ^^;...

that plus i blow away BMW owners all the time, BMW owners sometimes are too cocky for their own good, its not like i own a hooked up civic, show some respect. But I respect BMWs hehehe i just dont respect those who pick a fight because they have more money than u ^^;
Furthermore, you dont see them trying to race supras yet they see it necessary(my spelling is crap today) to try to race me.

 

[xtropoutx]

no disrespect intended...i just got my z3 and was feeling a bit cocky hahahaha my bad i guess

 

[DSMTurboEclipse]

my friend has a Z3, and its nothing special at all. Good kill those, Beemers are the shiat

My boss/manager has a Z3...I said we should race...he said anytime but only for $500...I was like WOAH 500...you sure...you know I'll beat you right? He is a cocky Italian bastard and thinks its sooooo fast...he won't admit that I can beat him. So I'm just waiting till I get DSMLink and injectors in...then I'll give it some race gas and tell him I'm ready...I got the 500.

I'm gonna try to get a vid for you guys too...or at least a lot of pics. This is gonna be the funniest shit ever.

nice kill, I posted a story about a 3 series kill a few weeks back. I had 4 fully inflated wheels in my car and still walked him. After i get back to normal cruising speed he just stared at my car when he drove by haha, I loved it! god damn I miss the Talon, I can't kill anything in my new Alero (not that i've tried)

 

[johnnytsi]

This car was not even in the same league as my car in the 70-130 mph range. at any given situation, I could litterally run away from him. I got to admit though that he could probably out brake me at that speed. Dang, early 1G dsm's are scary going that fast! Big brakes are somewhere in my very near future.

I don't think it will break hasn't happened yet...

Also about miss shift and stuff...thats why I'm waiting for DSMLink and Injectors...with that and race gas...I should be in low to mid 12's...he sux at driving and would be lucky if he got the car in mid 15's cause he doesn't even now what launching is. I figure I have 3 seconds to play with...but at least 2...its going to be the funniest thing in the world...like I said I gonna try to see if some friends could digi-video it so I could post it here... its gonna be sweet.

Also about breaking it or anything...I'll be running it at the track first like this to make sure I don't have any problems...then after that I'll check my T-bolt clamps and everything...make sure all the IC piping is good...thats really the only problem I've had before...that and Fuel cut..but DSMLink will get rid of that for me.

 

[13secGST]

forgot to mention...I do plan to let this guy keep his dignity and I will tell him that I WILL WIN...if he still wants to go through...ok whatever...he chose to loose.

Dude... haven't you seen alero's fixed up? Honestly, they can be made fast, you just have to work with them. There was one in a mag somewhere a while back, I can't remember.

From what I've read it takes a bit to get into the 14's (without nitrous) w/ the v6 which is what i have. I can't get too radical because I have warranty. They do make supercharger kits but theyre close to 4 grand. I've heard that GTP and Northstar engines drop right in though
