Fastest BMW

[Guest Anonymous]

I saw a thread earlier about how fast can a 2002 be, what to put in it, and why go so fast in the first place, etc... Anyway, I saw a video on youtube and thought you all might want to see a 7.83 sec M3...not sure how it would corner though.

EDIT: Read post below. 0-60 = 7.83 OK 1/4 mile = 7.83 pretty darn fast

Ummm.. Thanks I guess. but 7.83 isn't really that fast. Couldn't see the video but I'm assuming you're talking about a 1/4 mile? Not that my 02 could do a 7.83 quarter mile but just about any new BMW can beat that number.

mmmmm... 7.93 is silly fast for a 1/4 mile. Show me one stock new car that can run that. chris

I think you might be confused about 7.83 not being that fast. An E46 M3 stock can run close to a 13 sec 1/4 mile... the car is that video is supposedly over 1400hp.

Something under 8 seconds is insanely fast...

Unless we're talking about a 1/8 mile track.

YES... SORRY... I wanted to say 0-60 but wrote 1/4 mile. Brain fart...

If that's a 1/4 mile time it's fast. IMO anything in under 10 is F - A - S - T so an M3 of any sorts running a 7.83 is good... now 0-60 is what I meant to say by being OK..

That is stupid fast..for anything with wheels. No stock car in the world can do that kind of time.

There is a pink one in Australia with a BIG turbo 3 rotor rx7 motor in it and makes 1100hp or so and does 9's.

7's is pretty fast.

John Shepard's DSM is a little more impressive though.

7 sec 4 cyl and shifting the whole way.

It is faster than that....

/edit - The car won "God of Auto Salon" along with just about every other trophy on the modified car scene in a year... It used to have 24" rims and a massive stereo, then they striped it and raced it with slicks etc...

The car is Pink because that is the corporate colors of the company that built the car - they have 100's of cars in a similar look. It is their trademark.

7.29 @ 191.8mph

They did not stretch the body and the wheelbase was quite short, which made the car a real handful - they are currently building up another car to take on the top pro imports in Australia.

How it originally looked.

How it looked last time it raced.

It was resprayed after a their parachute failed and the car ended up in the fence at the end of the 1/4.
