Both Posted 13.3@106. The 335d just pipped the win on this run.

Look at the finish line and both cars times come up together at the same time.

Read the description.

@skepar Well from experience in launching cars, high revving cars will either bog due to lack of torque or wheel spin due to the hp in the higher revs. My old 330d was way more rapid from standstill than my old type r. My current R1 makes me smile most though. Im no pro though. Just liking fast stuff!

[skepar]

@celicafreakster I belive that was because the driver of the D reacted a bit quicker off the line, probably not a handout, but certanly not because of the torque advantage... you know, the wtq advantage (as in actual torque at the driven wheels) could go either way in the lower gears and especially in first gear launches like this, so the "extra torque" is absolutely meaningless. but the whp/hp stays the same through every gear ratio and that alone proves you are TOTALLY WRONG.

was the 335i manual?

@Dramquart I am sorry to contradict you but diesel are slower than gasoline cars so your theory is wrong !!

[Dramquart]

The first law of thermodynamics makes the 335D the winner by a huge margin. Diesels are the future people, not hybrids. We just need to exploit every ounce of power it cam offer. Like we did with petrol engines with F1 racing.

[Dramquart]

How much torque can the original auto tranny take?

[Dramquart]

It may be a tad slower but it's a hell of a lot more fuel efficient while doing it. So by physic's standards the D wins.

well, i've had that 335d remapped, and now i got 335i jb4 OMG the diesel is A LOT slower than my i version. 335i JB4 with 102 octane is insane.. goes 300+ on gps

@kay19833 Description says "Best of the day for the cars", 13.2 (335D) and 13.3 (335i)... 0.1s is not assrape.
