Didn't think about the plates. HE is married, so its very hard for him to get away for the track.

Wow, haven't visited this thread in awhile and boy has it grew. Hmm.. You guys really think a motordyne kit can make a g35 faster than a m3? Keep in mind that just because somebody can do it doesn't mean its tru, that the g35 is now officially faster than a m3 with the motordyne kit. Given EQUAL drivers m3 will definitely win. You cant do one single bolt on mod and expect to beat a m3. I think ppl that thinks that needs a reality check. Even if this motordyne kit is some amazing bolt on that produces the horsepower it claims it does, and the new rev up g35 does dyno exactly as much horsepower as the m3, that still doesn't mean now a g35 is equally as fast as a m3. Keep in mind the 330ci only has 225HP, an amount that most g35 coupes make more at the wheels!! and yet their performance numbers are pretty similiar. So with that said, even if the motordyne kit can push the rev up engine up to 260 something hp at the wheels, i still think the g35 coupe would lose. I cant believe im even arguing about this, do some research man, go to some m3 forums, or a neutral car forum, and see what they have to say about this. Some ppl in this forum might be biased. And dont get me wrong, i love the g35 coupe, i wish our cars can beat a m3. But you have to be fair. By the way i dont doubt g35_tex or anyone else if they say they can beat a m3. Because the driver is very very important and maybe they are just better drivers. But i would say this, if a guy can drive the g35 and the m3 equally as well and then he goes to do the 1/4 with a g35 with motordyne kit and then do the same 1/4 mile with the m3. Theres no doubt in my mind the m3 will have better times. The 330ci is really a better comparison to our cars. People tryin to compare the g35 to a m3 is like somebody with a 330ci trying to compare their cars to a GTR. Going in beemer forums asking hey man you think if i put in this intake in my 330ci ill be able to hang with a GTR?? LoL

Hmmm . . . Before you wet yourself, again . . . Pull your thong down a bit, will ya? Beat an M3? . . . I doubt it. I need to read through all of this, again. I don't really recall either of the testers claiming to have beaten any M3's.

Actually, sport . . . You can save all of us a bunch of time. Find for me where Klumzyee and/or G35_TX claimed that they either were faster or had beaten an M3.

I apologize in advance, if I have taken a misstep.

The original thread asked "how do i beat an m3?" well someone mentioned the motordyne mod (and us "testers" responded that it) will set us pretty damn close. As I said in my previous post the M3 was just some random car on the street so I have no idea of its MODs/Problems/Drivers but from a 50ish-130ish run I wasnt able to pull or fall back from him.. keep in mind that i was right on his tail so i can say i had less drag but i also had a passenger with me while he was alone (we gave each other a little wave).

So in responds to the original thread: the new unreleased motordyne mod should set you pretty close to an M3 as far as a rolling to top speed drag but with some good tires and maybe an exhaust you might be able to beat that M3.

Heres the past "events":
1. M3 as i mentioned
2. EVO MR (no plates) ran even with him as well from a ROLL (70-80mph)
3. EVO8 w/Cat-Back, High Flow Cats, BOV, Cams, Tunned (got smoked by 3-4 cars) from a stop
4. STi (Assuming stock, minus the BOV) from a dig to end of 3rd. Him and I ended up being slightly ahead of eachother depending on who shifted when (if i shift he'll be ahead a bit then he'll shift and i'll be ahead a little again) but it did seem like he had a perfect launch. we went again at like 30mph roll?
5. 2005 AUTO G35 Coupe w/Injen CAI - 0-140mph he was behind by like 4-5 cars if not 6.. pretty far behind.. a vid was posted but my host died on me and i have no more bandwidth lol

so tell me if everything matches up..

I was the one, whom replied to the original poster. As you can see, paulywalnuts446, simply was asking for some suggestions with regard to " how i can boost up my g35's power without going the route of Forced induction, also trying to stay in the range of $1000 - 2000. also i would need the website of the place i could get these performance parts. thnx:"

So, I afforded him a link, which might prove productive to him/her. . . . To get them on their way. Then all heck breaks loose and people start to get ****. Sooooooory! I was very excited about Tony's new mod and was simply sharing the said info with a fellow member.

Next time . . . I'll say, "Do a search, FOOOOOL!"

I just wanted to say if you actually look at the dyno graph on the bmw and compare it to my new one with the mod. And NOT look at the PEAK HP or TQ we make more HP, and TQ mostly the whole RPM range than the M3 does till the top end. What wins a drag race? All the power down low and mid range power.

Get your rulers out and check it for yourselves.

And I am not saying we will win, but I am saying we should be dead even with them. Like KlumZee and myself were.

I have to say i disagree with that statement. I dont mean to disrespect anybody tho. Just trying to offer my point of view thats all. I apologize if anybody felt disrespected.

Point given . . . That may be a bit of an embellishment. I don't doubt the gains for second. However, until I see otherwise . . . I do think that being equal to an M3 without anything additional mods may just be a bit wishful. It definitely would not hurt my feelings, if it were proven to be so.

Regardless of what the M3 slaying abilities may or maynot be . . . I for one am anxiously awaiting this MREV mod.

Only people who disagree are the ones that have no clue due to the fact they didn't run the car. Do what I said above about using a ruler and looking over the dyno graph.

I would have to agree. I know I'm a bit biased towards the G but I'm also very open minded. That's why I have to see the Mod before making judgement. However, that being said I also think that some people have a mindset where they can't and won't believe the impossibilities. In this case, a car that is nearly half the cost of another is capable of similar performance (we will just leave out looks for now). For the reverse thinkers, this is true for cars like the Pontiac GTO where (from what I hear) they have better 0-60 times than our cars yet costs less. Just my .02.

The best solution is obviously FI if you want enough power to end this who beats who debate before it starts.
EVO MR (Roasted) From a dead stop. I overcame his AWD advantage top of second and from there it was all downhill for him
EVO (Roasted) Same story...it would have been worse from a roll
M3 (no chance) Pulled harder on those than the EVO's
Modded STi (Roasted) From a dead stop
Porsche Turbo (Beaten, but close) This was the only car that has even stood a chance but still got pulled on at 125+.
