...just read that my E55 has the grip of an insurance salesman ....and the car dont begin to slide (on stock tyres) until you get to 0.90g How good is that and how does it compare to say a Skyline of other trick cars?

 

i think every road condition and type of corner is different phil, you hit ice you will slide, even at 20mph

 

...i think i was talking about a DRY track situation

..i assume 0.90g is almost 1g of force?...I have no idea but it seems alot of grip

 

A PUG 205 on road tyres with a set of front springs and strut braces can pull 1.1g
It was in a tuning mag a couple of years ago.

 

Thats just made me want one a million times more! I need to save cash NOW!! Sorry to jump on the thread, but looked interesting and then i saw this!

 

..so it aint very good grip then?

 

phils new car doesnt even have the grip of a £500 shitbox peugeot


what size are your rear tyres phil?

 

265/35/18's

 

fairly hefty.


Still smaller than mine

 

...maybe so but i got more bhp

 

Shouldnt that mean you need MORE substantial tyres then?

 

and more weight as long as Dave's lardy ass aint in his car

 

lardy?

may I direct you to the fitness forum and the picture progress thread....






you chav, cock smoking lord of the ring!

 

whats the power of those things Phil?


cool, get it out on the A2 for a tear up

 

354bhp with 400ft/lb torque oh and it weighs 1700kilos

Whats your stats Dave?..Please no ass dyno stuff

 

dunno, about 340 I think

goes well for it though

 

The BMW straight 6 is a great example of how power figures mean absolutely fook all dont you agree?

 

certainly does Stu

Im still in awe about how the thing gets to 170.



it just gets there... no dramas. No hassles. Ok a 400bhp yb will get there quicker* but for a 'paltry' 340 bhp

it just gets on with the job!





* - if something doesnt melt/overheat/blow/snap/catch on fire

 

anyone got a dynochart of a e46 m3?

 

...be interested to see performances figures for the m3

The e55 does the quarter mile in 13.2 seconds

 

...so no go on wether 0.90g is any good

 

the same as my 315 stg 3 esc cos

 

..whats the M3 manage?

 

19) 13.052 @ 107.840 8.465 84.750 1.965 E46 BMW M3 SMG II (stock)

 

E46 M3 according to evo magazine is I think meant to be 0-60 5.1, 0-100 12 ish, and dont know top speed

My E39 with its 400bhp will do (according to EVO test) 0-60 4.9, 0-100 11.5.

Mate of mine has an M3 and there aint a lot in it to be honest!
