Thanks for the hospitality it was great to finally meet you. Its def a handful getting used to it. I will practice my short times, 1.7-1.8 would yield a low 10, or a high 9 pass the way she sits of the wastgate sping 22psi, remember this car makes over 250rwhp on 28-29 psi. On 35 psi it will make much more...this turbo PT76GTS shines above 30psi.. that where it likes to be... although the factory drivetrain may not like it though.


My Goals low 10's high 9's with street tires on a factory (95) BMW M3 drivetrain.

[Paradigm_Guy]

Nice work guys. Looking forward to getting to the strip myself.

[Defacto]

I remember when that maroon 328i came in with just an OBD-I conversion, some big chrome wheels, and some M3 bits. Man, how times change.

[xjeeper]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, that blue car is SIIIIIIIIIIICK.

You guys know I love bustin your balls about the whole "9's" thing....... but You know as well as I do that the biggest obstacle keeping you from attaining that goal is simply the drivetrain bits.

Just skip the bs and swap in an M5 drivetrain with a custom driveshaft. Get aggressive on the launches and boom DEEP nines. Look at that MPH, power isnt the problem, well.... I guess it is, but it isnt too little of it thats for sure. Once you get something that will hold the power.... ALL of it.... then the et's will drop like a stone.

Until you BUILD the driveline just like you have built the motor, you are going to keep having these problems and you will just have to keep fixing the next weakest link in the chain.

[Defacto]

Agreed. With the power that both of these cars are capable of, with the right driveline behind it, these two cars would be incomprehensibly fast.

Great movie, loved it. I notice three shifts so you've changed your diff ratio.

The Blue BMW still has factory 1/4 panels under the shitty fiberglass widebody rear quarters.. thats the way I bought it. I havent had a chance to remove the 1/4 er's and cut out the factory panels. Im running a 255/50/16 on the rear.

[SiGmA_X]

Very nice George, it will be nice when you remove the fenders, I wonder how much they weigh.

Kenny, being he is running 255's and they fit under stock body work, does that mean he is in the street car or widebody classification?

FULL VIDEO IS UP!!!! RIGHT CLICK AND SAVE IN THE FIRST POST!!!!

[Highboosting///M3]

Thank you so much for the video! That was sick! I am so glad the blue car made it down the strip for that.

Keep trying Ulysses. Well at least some of the guys overseas can understand that even with our Dynojets...you are for dam sure making some giant power there! No denying that!

Yeah, once it is figured out how to bulletproof the drivetrain, some really big things will start happening! Can't wait!
