Accord vs BMW Z3 Convertible

[Kurobei]

Was minding my own business coming back from Pick n' Pull close by my house when a BMW z3 convertible unsure what year lined up with me at the light. I could see from the corner of my eye he was checking out my car. Light turns green and he takes off. I'm like OK this should be fun. I let him get his distance and then I gave my car a v-tec run to catch up. He noticed me starting to chase so he started zipping between cars. We get up to the next light and i'm right behind him. I see him looking in his side view mirror all smiles. I recognized how the light works at this particular intersection so I started building my rpms. He takes off and instantly got a 3car lead and I started smashing gears. At the end of 3rd I was already closing the gap and in the end I was only 1 1/2 cars behind his bumper and then he chickened out after figuring out he couldn't shake me and exits at the last minute.

I wish there wasn't a car in the other lane at the beginning....that would've been more fun. Gave that BMW-head a run for his Moola

Those BMWs supposed to run mid to low 14s. I can't wait to take my car to the track with my current setup and mods. I have to be running somewhere in the 14s to be riding that z3 owners ass.

Didnt the M roadster run in the 14's? And I think there where two engine options a 4cyc and inline 6 and then the M roadster still chasing him in the us autobahn

Hmm...where do I stand in that 14sec run. I gotta hit the track with you too. I'm oober curious.

I work on those pos cars if it were the m series he would have tookin you but the inline six or the 4 clyinder, you'd beat him good job you sould have lanched and showed him whats up

POS? BMW I had a few before never gave me problems.

just the z3 once a problem occurs with them the entire car shuts down just my opinion just not the m-z3 they were made more like the 3-series more electrical but less conjuntion in cuircuts

Just concider yourself lucky. The simplest repair on these cars run $1000 plus

You should jackass. I'm curious to see what I run now. Car has been running good since I had that major overhaul. We have pretty much the same setup except for the trannies. Julius predicts you will definitely take me off the line due to your shorter gearing and LSD but I should catch up probably at the end of 2nd or midway. Prelude SiR and Accord SiR 1/4 mile times are nearly identical, I just have a longer 3rd and semi gas saving 5th gear. My 3rd definitely showed itself when we ran in Napa. I was like WTF?!! ur shifting already? Maybe this is the perfect H22a tranny for turbo.... downshift to 3rd is great for short boosted highway encounters. Shiet lets go to the track Wed!! I'm shooting for a 14.2-14.5.

I was disappointed when my car jumped timing at the track. My only good run that day was against the RSX-S 15.8 compared to his 15.1. I definitely have to be in the 14s now since everything is supposedly in good order.

Haha I did a 4800rpm launch but what sucked was I was right behind him in the same lane at the light and it doesn't help to have 195 series Dunlops in the front All I felt was my front dogbone mount flex and tires skidding trying to take traction and I didn't want to rear end the z3.

I raced a newer blue Z3 before with my old H22a auto and needless to say I got PWNED off the line. This definitely had to be the V6 because it didn't feel like racing the various Miatas that messed with me.

Personally I see more Volvos in recycle yards than I do BMWs and Audis... I think BMWs are well built cars,but then again every car company has its lemons. This is the reason why I wouldn't buy a 1st Gen model of any new car release. I would try to buy the Mid model because it's more likely perfected.

Look how many times the 350z has been redone engine wise. The 06's with the introduction of the "HR" motors produce more power and are a blast to drive and now it seems perfected for the 07 and the 08's with a even stronger motor where they modified the hood wit a cool retro looking bump. The first "HR" High Rev motors had oil burning problems.

As USDM skylines become more available, I can't wait to see what kinda call backs might occur.

you plan on running that with a f22 tranny?

[BB6-SH]

No not really. Yes like any car certain miles you need to due the belts and what not, but in between it was fine. But thats why god made Hondas and Accords in that matter.

And the square bears are creepy.
