soon more time slips from me , but now I'm not sure if I want postem lol

 

Pretty much what I implied in previous thread, I will not buy a 4500lb sled to race. However if I really want to see what she can do, I prefer to do it at the track. Occasional street romps will happen, but it's in the very very minority not the norm

 

youre getting W3 right? I havent heard anything good about the W3 so i wouldnt expect much over tune

 

will see soon .

 

These are why I am not so impressed with turbo upgrades on the M157 as of now (and I like AMS, quality products!)

lol why? because Jcart , who's car ran 9.16 @150.7mph 1/4 and 4.0 sec 60-130mph... ran 163-164mph in the 1/2 and ams ran 164 mph? if anything , that should impress the hell out of anyone

and if your not impressed by a 6.5sec 60-130mph then you must think the fast M5 F10 that runs in the 9's is slow too since it runs almost the same 60-130

 

lol you are not following timelines. You are saying his 2012 C63 ran 9:16@150mph (LMAO) and then proceeded to take another quarter mile to go up another 14MPH???

 

that thread was from june of 2013.... jcart was running 10.01 @ 140 then (its a stage 3+ weistec s/c weighing 600lbs less).... you're not impressed by that? please post you 9.99@141 or better timeslip in any MB

the other facts remain 6.5sec 60-130 is fast... our tuned/dp cars run about 7.9 sec for reference

again, the 9.9 @140 F10 M5, that you seem to be so impressed, with runs 6.2-6.3, so the ams turbo car (6.5) is pretty close with it on the street and the M5 has 40whp more and faster trans up top.

 

The Weistec car (which got beaten by a tune/DP only 2012 E63) beat Jcarts car by a couple of mph. Yes color me not impressed when AMS matches Jcarts MPH

 

Actually you are the one who is impressed with the F10 M5, I have never mentioned that car in the last few weeks. You keep bringing it up and I am not even sure why???
Only mention of that that I can remember was about them doing better now that they broke through their software hangup and even cracking 9s. Completely unrelated to anything I am saying here about larger turbos on M157s

 

you seem pretty impressed by the F10 M5 before... hell it gave you wood! i guess now the slower RS7 is more impressive lol

 

got it, going as fast as a gutted stage3+ weistec M156, that runs as fast as the fastest F10 M5 (basically the standard to beat for german 4-door performance at the moment) and wayyyy faster than ANY RS7, is unimpressive

i guess we got to get these 4600lbs cars in the 8's to impress you

 

You really have no idea of context do you???
And yes it is impressive that a RS7 can and will run mid 10s with a tune only race gas or not. When the E63s start doing it with any frequency (at the track not the street where you can easily kill innocent people), that will also be impressive! If it did it with only 125mph, I will be even more impressed with its chassis/powertrain combo which is the ONLY reason I brought up that car to begin with

 

Hmm so now a Renntech tune/DP E63 is a gutted stage 3+ wesitec. WTH are you even blabbing about???

Yes finally you get it!!! Then it will impress me, and not a 1000th of a second sooner

 

oh i get it, so something that still ends up slower than something else, but made big change from original is impressive... not the overall end result... so like when a tuned rs7 does 3 pulls on the highway with tuned M5 and tuned e63 and looses all 3 pretty decently, the rs7 is still the most impressive

and are you kidding me about the RS7's running 10s with GREAT frequency tune only??? seems like i am not the one with problems of context....there are 3 RS7's on dragtimes running in the 10's with just a tune! and only 5 when you add in DP cars.... there are more M157's in the 10's on dragtimes ( i counted 10 without double counting cars).. and dont bring up downpipes on M157 cuz we all know they dont do Sh*t on our cars ( maybe 10-20whp which is way less than what race fuel does on an RS7 race file map ~60whp)

 

We have few m157 in the low 10s , same as rs7 , but it is impressive mid 10s on just a tune . However m157 quicker from the roll

 

i agree and thats why i find the M157 impressive too,,,,and whats faster on the highway is whats most important to me as i drive way more there than the track... and from 50+mph is really where i want my car to be the fastest since that's when i get the most people that want to mess around with me

 

I like the idea of the universal car , that how my s4 was set up , same here . Even now I had only one ran at the 1/8 I'm the second place between all the street v8s here lol

 

I met a guy who purchased ams shop car (pre face lift Alpha 9) at a local 1/2 mile event couple months ago and the car was running high 150's and the best run was 162.

 

Weistec W3 vs Renntech tuned/DP car

 

Going above 160mph is pretty tough

 

something wrong here . w3 went 174 mph on half mile , for reference 918 doing 172

 

Seems like the same car at the same event, didn't run well against the Renntech car?
Also there was a thread about the 174mph run being a rolling run vs a lot of the records posted at other events with other brand of cars were from standstill

As a reference, Racelogic piggyback tuned wagon did 160-161mph in the half mile from standstill (not the same track).

 

I'm still confident with weistec , stage 1 car , mine with filters did 100 mph on the 1/8 from idle at 80F and 2200 DA , with flashed ecu and tcu only on street tires . can't ask for more than that , will see what w3 kit does at the same place

 

Do they use garrett GTX2860R or GTX2871R core ?
