down blossom hill (san jose), in case it was anyone here-

from several lights we went. he jumped slightly, since i had some wheel spin, but when i put it in 2nd i just pulled on him pretty good. 3rd i had like 4 cars, and i easd off the gas since another light was coming up..


next light , i think i took the lead right away off the line and schoold him bad through 3rd (around 80 i let off, since he was many cars in back and there could be cops)


thank you to the guy though, not many bmw's are ever willing :redspot

Nice run man, I always wondered how I would do against a SRT-4, so now that I know, I have to get a LSD for my baby along with a supercharger! :devillook

Let me just say all the comments before everyone else does though...
"he would have had you in the twisties"
"he went home driving a BMW"
"he didn't know how to shift"

Sorry to be off-topic but how does an E36 M3 and 330 compare? What about the M3 vs. SRT-4? Stock for stock that is. Oh and BTW nice kill :buttrock do you have any mods? I know those SRT-4's can be fast. I used to work at a Chrysler dealership so I would get to drive them all the time. IMO best bang for the buck if your looking for performance only.

stock e36 m3 should get beat by 04 srt4.

e36 m3 and srt4 is all driver.. the srt4 is 220+hp stock with more tq, but the m3 can grip better



to mihalis, dont go spending your money just yet, i have stage 2 (not much better then stage 1, but increased boost slightly) so, im not stock

330 could take an srt4 stock, i dont see why not.. shouldnt but it could easily happen

here's a rough comparison of the 330CI vs SRT-4.

E36 M3 can be found on there as well.

Thanks for the info, the LSD I almost definetely want to do, my car is driving me crazy NOT having it. I was just kidding about the supercharger, I don't have the cash for something like that, and I put tons of miles on my car, so there is no point.

You have one nice sweet ride there man! :)

Equivalently driven, a stock SRT-4 should take either a 330 or an E36 M3. An E36 M3 is faster than a 330. It has a bit more power, but more importantly it has more aggressive gearing. A 330ZHP's performance is pretty damn close to a stock E36 M3.
