thats good to see but i would hav ethought that the M3 would have one. But its good to see that.

 

Yeah the M3 guy was a terrible driver.

 

Musculo, your hp num are to the crank. You are forgeting that he sending that power to only 2 wheels, you are sending it to 4 therefore a higher drivetrain loss, so yes, that me would have done some reelling with the right driver.

 

regardless though, the S4 SPANKED him!

 

haha the guy in the M3 disgraces BMW. The M3 should be slightly quicker off the line, right? M3 weighs only 3052lbs while the S4 comes in at 3659lbs, hmm. Definatly depends on the driver. The difference shouldnt be that great, but im all for the S4 winning.

 

cant wait to show that to my friend when he comes, he always makes fun of audis (hes a BMW kid) < but hey no one is perfect

 

Nice video! M3 driver idn't have any skills or clue on how to launch it. But that's good you embarassed him 3 Times....to bad no bragging rights.

 

Well fellas, next Friday is our rematch. My M3 buddy deserves another shot at the track, and I hear he's been practicing lately...he has been under extreme pressure at work to step up to the plate, or everyone will keep making fun of him and his driving. Our friends will tape all the runs (we are planning for at least 3-4 runs) and I'll post it next Saturday. I even offered to swap the cars for at least one run, just to see how much of a shitty driver he really is. It will be fun!

 

haha awsome man, please let us know how it goes.

 

So I got good news and bad news. Bad news is that Friday night event got cancelled due to some kind of timing wiring problems, so the strip was closed. Needless to say, we were bummed, so what did we do? Held the races in the parking lot of our office building. As you will see from this video clip, it is a flat, long and straight line from one end to another and enough width for 2 cars. Coincidence? We measured 1/8 mile, had one guy at the finish line, one "flag man" and went for it. My buddy in M3 went home so he didn't race, but a guy to beat in our company with a sweet '71 Mustang Mach 1 (351 Cleveland, short gears, some other mods) and I lined up and had 3 runs. Our last run that is recorded in this clip (please forgive low lighting, it was dark with no street lights, S4 is closer to the camera) we were neck to neck and I actually crossed the finish line first by couple of feet! This is impressive if you consider his muscle car prowess and drag setup (although on street tires). My S4 ran strong, I had a perfect launch and another victory in our S4 arsenal!
