The New Ride... (Update)
Sunglasses Ron:
One word, different! Until I put it against the clock I honestly don't know. Just because the car is bigger, different power delivery etc. It's certainly quicker at higher speeds, I know that..
I would expect it to be quicker on the 1/4 mile time wise, but then it will leave the line quicker for a start. The terminal speed will be the interesting part.. :wink:

Love the new motor :notworthy:
I got to drive a 335i at work and loved the sound and the way it delivered the power.
Hurdy:
Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 369
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1600
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 234.33
0 - 60 (Secs) : 4.85
0 - 100 (Secs) : 10.94
60 - 100 (Secs) : 6.09
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.08
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 109.34
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.98
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 110.57
Don't know the exact weight, but even 1600kg should get you down the strip in 13 flat :happy2:
1550kg gets you under 13 seconds for sure :driver:

Weight is a bit out there John :surprised: According to the hand book the car weighs 1545kgs (1530 for a manual) and that's with 75kgs ballast (driver) and a 90% full fuel tank.. That would make it about 1430kgs there or there abouts, which I think is a bit light tbh (I reckon about 1500kgs)..
Be interesting to get it on the scales at the 30-130 event next year to find out for sure.. :smiley: But going of the result from my comparison with my mates Stage 2+ S3 (when standard), it certainly no where near 1600kgs :surprised:
Yanks are getting low 13's @ around 106-107mph with stock DCT (DSG) cars..

Great stuff ben. As you say, Rob is a great guy and really knows his stuff! His own cars are awesome! So are the supercharged and remapped jet skis! He's done 3 cars for me now and they've all been spot on.
I've made the journey down there too each time and it's always worth it ;) does Darren still work there?
