I was at my local radio station, KROQ, with my friend who was picking up some stuff he won. When we were leaving, I saw the producer of the morning show leaving at the same time in his big ass truck. I know he's a car guy so I floored it as I left, making the MagnaPaks roar. He caught up at the next light, and the following conversation ensued:
Him: Okay, it's loud, but is it fast?
Me: 460 to the wheels. (That's my est. w/ the RR pulley)
Him: I've got a BMW that I'm supercharging.
Me: An M3?
Him: No, a 540. I think it can take you.
Me: I don't think so.
I e-mailed him a challenge when I got home. I hope he responds. I'd love to run him when his car is done.
So, I checked it out, and here it goes:
4.4L DOHC V8
HP=290 TQ=324, both at the crank.
Weight=3748 lbs.
On the Bimmer forums, I saw that a s/c should pick him up about 100 hp.
I'm pretty sure I can take him. Any thoughts?
