e36 M3 Evo 2nd gear acceleration

Sounds like a CSL when it gets going about 5.5k rpm. K7N filter fitted to otherwise standard car, enjoy.

the reason y it took long enough to accelerate, is basicly the peak wasnt used properly, i get my bmw 318is to go faster than that, but m3 evo's are a 0-60 in from 4.6 seconds if used proper to the same in 5.5 seconds, dont base a car from a video you see online

Finally some sense!

Congrats to Abmilzo for knowing how a car works! This was not a drag test.

The performance is - believe me - fine, when you're in the driver's seat.

Looks like its pulling harder and engine changing caracteristics at 4800/5000rpm, can you confirmt that? :)

Nice M3.

@LianLidude

Yeah, that's the second cam coming in @ about 4300 I would say. Fantastic from the driver's seat (no matter what!)

That looks really slow, was it healthy?

Wee funnyboy, let's see ur video...

[scorpio1066]

peak torque is at 3250rpm approx on spec however thats only on the gear your in

1st gear any rmp has greater pulling power than 2nd at any rpm, likewise 2nd has greater pulling power at any rpm than 3rd - conslusion for max pull take 1,2 and 3rd gears to redline for max accerlation.

another example - if youre in 3rd gear (which goes to 100mph) and youre doing 40 - drop it to 2nd cos theres far more pulling power and torque to the whels in the remaining rpm in 2nd - clear as mud? good

@abmilzo no wonder u removed it, prob because u realised it didnt make much sense.

[abmilzo]

@jonthedonable oh and by the way, i removed my comment

[abmilzo]

@jonthedonable educate myself like being a automobile engineer, i was pointing out to you boy racers, that a tuned v tuned car a skyline would lose, and yes i am biased against skylines because im sick of hearing people thinking they know what they are on about when actualy not having a clue a bmw is a better made car and a stronger made engine

[jonthedonable]

@abmilzo yeah no wonder the comment was removed. lol totally irrelevant, anyone can tune cars to make them faster. just shows me how much u know about cars. and straight line speed is not all a car is about. go educate yourself on the subject then come back with something intelligent to say rather than just saying what you THINK!! bye bye!

[abmilzo]

@abmilzo check this, bmw turbo v skyline gtr, skyline loses youtube.com/watch?v=6DS-YlXDRo­8

[abmilzo]

@jonthedonable don't mind the bhp, it dont mean anything, it is torque you should be looking at, that is what determins the cars acceleration, ok say a skyline is better, which personally i don't agree (preference), the skyline gt-r is quicker, but if you put the same turbo in the bmw m3, it would be quiker

[jonthedonable]

@abmilzo look, u have to compare care with equal bhp, otherwise its not fair, turbo or not,cars are usually judged against equal bhp and weight. the fact is nissan are known for turbos, bmw maybe not, doesnt matter, the new skyline is an overall better car than the new m3 for track racing, although yeah the m3 is great and always has been, its too obvious though, i like to find cars that are better with less " look at me aspect" thats what puts me off. i just like good performance cars

[abmilzo]

@jonthedonable haha, well a stock skyline 2.5 as in no turbo has 155hp, the new m3 is a second slower to 60 than the new skyline but has no turbo, the only skyline that would beat an m3 is the new one, or one that has had around 50k of tuning done, or good turbos, it is down to preference, the bmw is very common though
