325i vs. tiburon w/nos - BMW Forum

bimmerguy82 · 07-15-2007, 07:41 AM

So a guy I know at work has aa 2004 tiburon with these specs- 2997 lbs, 138hp/ 132trq. He says he has a 75 dry shot of nos on it. My car 3080 lbs. 189 hp/181trq. Now I have two questions, 1. Do you think I could take him?

2. He claims his car does 12.9-13.2 in the 1/4. (BS imo) comments?

If the car is otherwise stock... I would call BS on that. A 95 M3 doesn't do the 1/4 that fast and it has a ton more trq and power that available the whole time. He can't shoot the nitrous until he's gotten decently moving so he's losing a lot of time in that 1st 60 feet since he doesn't have any power to speak of.

found the times for the 95 M3:

1995 BMW M3 6.2 14.6

I dont know if that means you can take him or not, but i'd say his times are BS.

12.9-13.2 in the 1/4.

no way in hell. he's either stupid or lying out his ass.

He must be talking about 1000 ft times, lol...

My buddy has an 07 Tiburon and its not real impressive. Looks good and is comfortale to drive, but it takes a while to get it going.

Maybe 1/8 but that time in 1/4 I would like him to prove it. Stock engine w/nos FTL

Total BS, but I have two questions.

1. Why ask and not just do it? (pussy)

2. Why is your car still at 189? Modify it already!

bimmerguy82 · 07-16-2007, 05:26 PM

Well Walsru, I do plan on just doing it, but we work different schedules so it kinda hard to meet up on our free time, but I'm trying. And also if you checked my garage it lists my mods.

Not alot but I have a TMS chip and a CAI. I just use those specs cause I don't want to claim numbers that I'm not sure of.

e30dream · 07-16-2007, 05:29 PM

its stock because he likes the fact that he whips gheyashes superduperhomosexually modified audi with his stock 325i.

+1 ^

yeah you can beat it.

Torque · 07-17-2007, 04:14 AM

Dude, I would rape that car with my wagon ... for a 325i w/ chip and cai ... no contest.

dannyb · 07-17-2007, 06:27 AM

Make sure to get his face on camera when you kick the shit out of him

WALSRU · 07-17-2007, 09:43 AM

I'm supposed to trust the vbgarage that says 92 325i and contains a pic of a widebody e46?

At least say 205 conservatively, and stop ricing up your garage u benchracer

bimmerguy82 · 07-17-2007, 04:37 PM

My bad Walsru, I forgot I had that pic in my garage. I'll change it. I wouldn't have trusted that either.

da_bull · 07-17-2007, 07:37 PM

And I'm pretty sure when you realize you are going to beat him hands down, you are supposed to have your brake lights on as you pass him...
