I have FINALLY edited the super secret testing video to determine if drag races can actually make a car turn. the learning curve was VERY steep, but we survived. I'm stilled looking for that ham fisted monkey that punted me into the wall. I have a picture of him and if anyone knows who he is let me know! :moon

The big boys!!!?!?! I think I saw the under side of one of the "big boys" cart more than the top as he bounced off the walls!!! :pop

By the way, how much does a missfire weight? 3061lbs empty! 200 hp!
Not going to beat 2645lbs and 220 hp ultimate driving machine!

So Fat Guy, is yours a 2.8 or a 3.0? Your car might have weighed 2645 before they installed the engine. :pop

You pipe down Bill! You should be ashamed for only going less than a second faster than me. Add 60 lbs to your cart then come talk to me! :moon

As for "not so rapid Ralph" I think I saw this on a wall which might explain his dismal performance!!!!!

According to Wikipedia the Z3s along with some smaller motors in earlier ones came with 2.2 168hp, 2.8 205hp or 3.0 228hp. Maybe you should look under the hood and see what you got. I think in a drag race, if you don't have the 3.0 your ass is mine. :drive

On a road course it would just be who has the bigger set. :shrug

If we don't end up doing the Lyme Rock track day, we should do an autocross event. There used to be some in CT. I will check it out.

2001 z3 2.5 litre, drag race? Sure slushbox missfire against my stick with fragile independant rear suspension. :moon

I will race anything anywhere. :pop
