have you raced any cars in your z35i

zeez_Dubai · 12-30-2009, 10:59 PM

i did go against corvette C6 from 20kmh and i was ahead i had to brake at like 140km/h the speed limit was 70:P

i went against masaretti gran torismo and i was ahead too.

is it me or does the z4 get much better time from 0 - 60 that is mentioned in the bmwwebsite.

mrboon · 12-31-2009, 03:49 AM

Mercedes CLK500 the other day, it had no chance

zeez_Dubai · 12-31-2009, 04:46 AM

from what speed? and what was the difference between you guys?

yabbanoname · 12-31-2009, 01:17 PM

it's quite okee, but I wasn't able to race against an Ariel Atom or GTR or F 458, just Maserati GT, Kawasaki zx6rr ...

Z4@Phuket · 01-01-2010, 10:27 AM

Honda Civic,

Can't see it from my rear mirror after 2nd gear

zentra · 01-04-2010, 09:22 AM

just curious but is the other car which you guys mentioned did tried hard & have a go ?
did you guys drove in sports mode / sports + or paddle?

Memphis1 · 01-04-2010, 01:03 PM

i love smoking civics, i also love smoking punk ass mofo's that think they're huge SUV's have a chance.

BlueZ4AZ · 01-04-2010, 02:29 PM

Several SUV's a week that try to beat me off a red light, specifically when our 2 lanes will be merging into one lane within a 1/4 mile. These are the people that typically forget their vehicle is for utility, not speed. Sadly for them, they all eventually find themselves looking at my tail lights, and hopefully for their benefit, realizing at that point, that their vehicle is for moving people and/or stuff, and not quickly.

Actually, this is more of a race for them, but just everyday driving for me.

Memphis1 · 01-04-2010, 02:34 PM

you know what's really funny, when slow ass people are on the left lane on the highway and you switch to the right and pass them to go in front of them, when they realized what you're gonna do they try to accelerate to block you... hehe, gotta love it!!

Key word being "try". Sadly for them they never succeed......

When I pass someone that is impropertly using the the passing lane (by NOT PASSING anyone), I do it with such quickness and speed (Sport +, manual mode, downshift, and twice if necessary) that they have absolutely no chance to even act like the ignorant ass they truly are by trying to speed up and cut me out of the passing lane. I drive up very leisurely until I am about a car length behind, then .........BOOM!!! ........before they even know what happened, I am in front of them.

zeez_Dubai · 01-04-2010, 09:08 PM

when i tried with the corvette C6 and masaretti, i was in sport + and gear in S.
at around 5mph and we counted so am thinking it was fair to some extent.

Memphis1 · 01-04-2010, 09:15 PM

works for me... i smoked my boss (maserati quattroporte)

zeez_Dubai · 01-04-2010, 10:55 PM

i guess your not getting a promotion anytime soon, just tell him your car is not stock

rock1t · 01-04-2010, 10:56 PM

sorry, i dont have a z4 (but am a big fan of them).
the other day, i smoked a new camaro SS ahead by about 3.5 carlengths in the middle of 3rd gear, and pulling- in my 135i.
All i have is jb3 map 5 and 91 octane. raced him 3 times

similar results.

Memphis1 · 01-04-2010, 11:03 PM

LOL!! nah, he told me he would trade it in for a ferrari so that he would stop loosing to me. he's a good sport

vinching · 01-05-2010, 01:45 AM

Never have a real intension to race a car in Hong Kong City, since I know I am gona win in most of the case, I will press the paddle harder if started against a 335i. Have anyone race against a 335 or S5?

bobbydog · 01-05-2010, 02:15 AM

I put the Z4 35i DCT in S mode against 2008 e90 M3 MT...0-70 is exactly the same...but with the extra HP the M3 pulls away after that. I think they both do 0-60 in around 4.6-4.7s

zeez_Dubai · 01-05-2010, 02:36 AM

am not sure about this but i think the z4 35i is faster than the 335i and 135i, maybe to do with DCT and weight distribution but i know you can order the DCT on a 335 too if you want.

regarding the Z4 35i vs camaro SS am not sure what would happen if they raced, but i think NA vs turbo hmm.

BlueZ4AZ · 01-05-2010, 04:33 PM

I raced a 1976 Mustang the other day and won by about 10 feet. My legs were killing me after that though.

yabbanoname · 01-06-2010, 10:48 AM

Well, I didn't win today from this beauty, but the roadcondition wasn't that great either.
