He wants to race me for $500 should I?

daveyg · 04-03-2008, 07:50 PM

I guy i work with has an 08 evo (stock) I have an 07 335i with turbo tuner and 19" run flats.This race will happen at Irwindale raceway.
Whats the horsepower on those cars? Thanks for your input.Personally i think i will spank this dude.

FotiosF90M5 · 04-03-2008, 07:51 PM

what a great picture. What speed will you be racing too. he will get you from a dig but you should reel him in quickly and pass. gl

ArmyBimmerDude · 04-03-2008, 07:52 PM

I wouldnt do it. The Evo is AWD, lighter car, not to mention you have heavy BMW OEM rims and runflats. Not sure if just a turbo tuner would change that. Maybe?

Beautiful picture.

Excellence · 04-03-2008, 07:54 PM

Evo IX vs 335i with Procede 1.47.

Oh man.. 08EVOx vs 335i.. Thats a tough choice. If he has the double-clutch he could possibly win.

Unless your really good a shifting then maybe you'll have a chance against the evox's dual clutch tranny.

nusevad · 04-03-2008, 08:05 PM

Do it, you will win.

Inspired · 04-03-2008, 08:11 PM

I am pretty sure you will beat him with tuner. are you automatic with paddles or manual?

TahBOSS · 04-03-2008, 08:15 PM

forget the $500, race for pinks

UCSBMW · 04-03-2008, 08:17 PM

if you had step, with drag radials i'd say do it...but the evo will take you off the line...launching a 6spd manual with heavy runflat tires and stock wheels will spin for days. I'd try racing from a 2nd gear roll...

Darkkilla · 04-03-2008, 08:19 PM

Do a run from 40-120 you will win hopefully doesnt know the "tricks" of racing with an evo but even if he does he probably wont win. Id do it that if you are saying he is compeletly stock.

just4kickz · 04-03-2008, 08:24 PM

lol... big money. you decide.... if you miss a gear your screwed.

ArmyBimmerDude · 04-03-2008, 08:27 PM

Honestly if you have to ask, then you probably shouldnt do it. Unless you don't care about $500. I'd be damn sure first. And since this is going to be at a track? GL

Amen.

I would recommend him to get Procede v2, with race rubbers.

cm3rc · 04-03-2008, 08:28 PM

DO IT! and let us know who won. GL

Excellence · 04-03-2008, 08:30 PM

I laugh that guy has Vishnu EvoX. If he does then I would not race.

Ryan@Motorwerks · 04-03-2008, 08:30 PM

I raced an evo ix, we were literally neck and neck the entire time, but I slowly inched up on him after 60+. both bone stock btw, but he didnt really do much of a launch(at least not compared to some other evo launches i've seen). The new evo has about the same power and is heavier(than the ix), so I'd say go for it!

IX is old generation.

NoSole · 04-03-2008, 08:34 PM

I wouldn't do it. It's a good way to lose $500. The thing about the Evo and the STI is that they cost $30K and every penny of that went into the perfomance end. Unless you drop a few thousand dollars and do some mod work, he'll win.

Don't get me wrong, I fcuking love my 335xi, but don't believe for a second that it (stock) can compete with either the Suburu or the Mitsu (stock), especially given the shat RFTs they come with.

ya no kidding, i adressed that in the second part of my post where i talked bout the new evo

04-03-2008, 08:36 PM

irwindale is not long enough for you to pull on him after he gets you on the launch... dont do it.

unless you run DR's and get lighter wheels...

its all good

Badass335I · 04-03-2008, 08:47 PM

dude your joking right?

if he is really stock you will work him from a roll evos are made out to be alot more then what they are. go from a roll and u will own his ass now from a dig you will have to play catch up and i dont think a stock 335i will have anough to play catch up. tell him from a roll and put 1000.00 on it without thinking twice about it.even if he knows how to drive he cant win the evo`s are only strong out the hole after that there dead. keep in mind we are talking about stock evo.
