alright guys, i'm letting you all know i'll be adding cars for now, i'm pending development of my site until we get about 50 more cars up here. Mike's been real busy, so i'm going to shoot for a goal of 3-5 cars per day, possibly more, depending on how busy I am. Also, there are a couple dup's of cars in the temp directory, so if your car is there, I will get to it. if there is an error with the car, like a bad zip file, i will email you, and see if you can either send it to me, or re-upload it. any questions, email me.

heh, i wonder -- who would win in a race - a 1996 Camaro RS w/ 196 hp ( a really good looking one ) or a 1990 BMW e30 325i w/194 hp with a DINAN chip. a little somethin Mike and I have goin...

BMW POWER!!!

Shenlong25 years ago

Whoever drops the clutch at the right time and doesn't stall...hacks;)

Driven_out25 years ago

Is the camaro a 6 cyl?

Giddyup 40925 years ago

Da Bimmer man! :D BMW's will always prevail! Logically true too, since the DINAN Cjip will enchance the Bimmer's performance.

bimmerdude25 years ago

The Bimmer would definitely win! I bet a stock 1990 325i (with 168 hp) would put up a good fight against the Camaro. With 194 hp, the Camaro doesn't even stand a chance

BMWsport25 years ago

yep, we both have V6 engines -- i wanna hear what mike has to say :D

BMWsport25 years ago

on a side note - every car that I test, I take a screenshot of the car, and upload it to my site temporarily - so you all can see the car, 'til the script is fixed.

Driven_out25 years ago

Hmmm... I guess its all up to the gearing... and if you wanna go up against each other on some windey stretch of road... bimmer might win... straight line, dunno. long straightaway... bimmer... the camaro has 120 mph restricted top speed

BMWsport25 years ago

true, i can only do 145, 148 mph - there are ways to lift that on camaros, right? new chip or reprogram?

Driven_out25 years ago

prolly

JokinenDesign25 years ago

i doesnt like BMW's...
BMW is very hard to drive on winter....if car starts spinning ya cant do anything...ya need just wait when bimmer crashes...5 guys died in last week when driver lost control of hes bimmer...

JokinenDesign25 years ago

even 1970 dodge challenger haves better handling on winter...how many bimmers would put up a good fight against the challenger which have 7 liter 426HEMI/425hp
and top speed goes around 190mph...

Webmaster,
have you recieved my HX Omega ?? ^_^

HXKing25 years ago

Webmaster,
have you recieved my HX Omega ?? ^_^

BMWsport25 years ago

HXKing - yes, i'll get yours up here.

jokinen - im so glad you asked. i spent 3 hours researching this. the challenger can only do 140 to 150 mph. it cannot do 190 MPH. a 1998 e36 M3 can do 160 mph off the lot, the e39 M5 can do 155 off the lot, with a restrictor on the computer, and the Laguna Seca 2 can do 193 mph, and the V12 LMR can do 211 mph, the McLaren F1 can do 240 MPH.

BMWsport25 years ago

i did look for a long time trying to find the top speed of the M5 without the restriction on the computer. i have a good friend in Germany who said the car can pass 155 easily, because in Germany, i think they sell the M5 w/out the restriction.

Shenlong25 years ago

Fool, all! Neither would win, as you both are terrible, terrible drivers.

Terrible.

nuclearviper25 years ago

damn, both these cars sound very weak, i mean COMMON, my 1990 Lincoln Towncar has 312 horses, and thats stock, good i think i can challlange these guys no problem, and just u wait till i buy a turbo kit and some NoS, if anybody wants to race, send me e-mail, andrey12@optonline.net, prepared to be amazed, im serious.

impreza racer25 years ago

NOS on a Lincoln Towncar? LOL

MikeAdmin25 years ago

LOL, you know I'd kick your ass.. and it's on the other side of 200 HP, about 205 (at the engine)

nuclearviper25 years ago

BRING IT, im up for a race!!

nuclearviper25 years ago

and its is really 312 horses, v-8 5.0, its a mustang engine man. and yes, NoS is goign into it.

nuclearviper25 years ago

hey guys, what are the restrictions on turbo where u live, for example in NJ u can only go up to a stage 3 turbo kit, what bout the rest of u guys.

JokinenDesign25 years ago

1970 challenger r/t HEMI (stock) can go 190 mph...
pekka makela drived 190.8mph on helsinki-vantaa airport.

JokinenDesign25 years ago

hey nuclearviper do ya wanna challenge my 71 firebird...it haves 455cid with weiand 6/17 blower and of couse it haves NOS...quater mile goes under 10 sec...

JokinenDesign25 years ago

and by the way my firebird have carbon fibre body...and 2770hp + 400 extra hp from NOS...

JokinenDesign25 years ago

i propably sell my firebird and buy a 98 supra with AbFlug Body kit...

JokinenDesign25 years ago

pekka makela's 70 challenger haves mopar performance 426 HEMI.its a factory assembled special engine..that engine haves only the best mopar performance parts...on couple challengers like pekka makela's car were built.
normal 70 challenger can only do 140 to 150 mph.

ManYaiK25 years ago

I'd say the bimmer would win. Drag, or a road race. 'casue the bimmer has a better power to weight ratio ;) so it'd definally win.

jokinendesign:I bet u $1,000 that my Subaru Impreza STi 22B would outrun your fbird on a drag.

impreza racer25 years ago

YEAH! GO SUBARU GO!!

Nick25 years ago

I'd bet on the Camaro on a drag or any staight line,cause it has more torque at low rpm,and the torque is heavier,but on a circuit or anything where it turns,go for the Bimmer,because of it's maniability and torque at high rpm,and more effiency on power/weight.

BMWsport25 years ago

here's the answer:

nick said it best.

the Camaro has more torque.

he would pull from me at the line, but i would catch up at the top of 3rd gear, and, if they didn't restrict those camaro's, it would be very very intersting, because i top out at 148, im sure the camaro can do that also. BTW, this was a cross country race.

nuclearviper25 years ago

Yo jokin dont sell ur car man, thats a thing to keep for life, i would have to shoot u if u sell it, then rob it from the guy who bought it off u, shoot him, then run the car off a cliff, and shure i woudl race ya, exept its no challange for u, but i am thinking of putting a viper engine int eh lincoln, my dad is a mechanic and he said it would fit.

nuclearviper25 years ago

thats when the fun begins, WOOHOOOO, and manyiak, i know subarus are 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive cars are best for drag racing, but it sounds like jokindesign will win no question, remember that american cars are only built to drag, subarus are built for ralli, and im not dissing subaru, I LOVE THE IMPREZA, but no way it would beat jokin's challanger, NO WAY.

ManYaiK25 years ago

nuclearviper: If you read my post, I said his firebird, not his challenger. Glad U like the Impreza. AWD RULES!

nuclearviper25 years ago

yea sorry bout that, i must have been drunk or something, anyways i love subaru, i wana get one when i get enough money, impreza all the way!!!

JokinenDesign25 years ago

yaeh i know know one 68 charger which have viper V10...i saw that car in SEMA show.

JokinenDesign25 years ago

hey nuclearviper two garret race turbos would give more power for your Lincoln Towncar
...ya said it haves 312hp so those turbos gives 250-300 hp more for it.

JokinenDesign25 years ago

wow i found good hot rod pic from Link

nuclearviper25 years ago

y ea i know Jokin, i need like the best and barely legal turbos on NJ, and i want exoust from some mustang, like once again BARELY legal. and thankx for advise

BMWsport25 years ago
