CLK550 vs tuned 335

so i finally raced my friend with a tuned 335 and i would have to say he beat me fare and square
i guess those turbos with a little bit of tuning can do wonders.
I must get ECU tune ASAP lol

That must be one quick 335i, obviously faster than the 4 E92 M3's you raced eh? Was it even close?

That's a bad *** little car! I think you'll need more than just an ECU tune

Next time you talk to him about his mods, find out if he's 1/4 miled the car and what his times were.

if its a vishnu tune he's doing around 90 crank hp more than stock. You arent going to get a significant increase in hp with your n/a tune like he did

60 or 90hp from stock -300- is not faster than a E92 M3. So either he's got a lot more than that or the M3's you raced didn't konw they were racing you.

with the tune the car has 390lbs of torque vs 300lbs in a m3. The car is also lighter than an m3. I find it believable that a tuned 335 can take a stock M3

Yep, you got me! I raced 4 M3s and they didnt know i was racing them.

On a serious note:
335 had Juice Box 3, Stage 3 AR downpipes & cone filters.

I am not sure
but his car always has some issues
doesn't seem to be very stable, but may be its just him boosting it up too much.

With those mods then it for sure smoked you + M3's. JB3's are fast. I want you to get a tune and race the E92's on youtube.

I dunno who american is, but i got a 550 bud. I think the 550's are super quick, but i also know the limits of my car and i know a E92 M3 is faster. I'd love for you to race a e92 M3 and prove me wrong -video-. until then M3>CLK550.

PS you tell me if i got a 500 or not...i can't tell from looking at my engine bay .
