I was wondering if anyone had a graph of the 2002 330Ci's (stock) performance across the complete rpm range. I'm looking to compare it to another vehicle. A table of the numbers at certain rpms would be greatly appeciated. I was also wonder what the best quarter mile time you have ever seen in a 330Ci on stock tires??? I've seen alot of 14.7 at 96mph, but heard of a few 14.4's and even a 14.1 one time and none clocking over 100mph in the quarter. I'm asking all this because my friend is getting a new Z and he is making 287hp and should pull a 13.9 at 102mph. He's seen articles (I think the new road and track)that show the car runs a 14.3 but clocks 100mph... how could there be a 65hp difference (287-225=62) and be this small of a performance difference? 2-4tens and 4mph. Normally 60-70hp causes a close to 1 second difference in the quarter mile when talking 14s.... Maybe like some say BMW unposts its hp numbers.... maybe the drive in the new Z sucks... maybe I'm seeing a really good bmw drive or the person that posted the 14.1 is lying.....
I'm practically 99% sure the Z is going to surpass my 225hp motor in a race, I was just wondering why its so close. Most mid 14 second cars don't have only 225hp, heck the V8 Mustang (260hp) pulled a mid-15 (well in automatic).......I'm just blabbing on here. If anyone has a graph of stock performance can you please post them here.... I was thinking I might make more low end torque.... I might lose the first race but he doesn't want to meet the rath of the M :bigpimp:
Thanks in Advance!
