My friend's 330 vs my ITR.

From a standstill, even with his RWD, I still get a better launch than him. He loses by about a car and a half.
All 3 runs from stand-still have about the same result.

From the freeway starting at approx. 70 MPH. I think he always started to mash first, but whatever.
He definately pulls harder, but 2 of the 3 times I came out in front.

Anyone have any idea why? Or is this a legit outcome?

 

is it auto, sounds kinda fast for an auto
i think the MT 330s are a bit faster than us ITRs
its more of a drivers race IMO
ive ran a few, won some lost to some

 

street racing, frowned upon...

tell your friend to bring it to a local drag strip and then post times.

 

Nothing beats torque which we are lack of.

 

no, he was MT.

 

Go to a drag strip and find out. It will be a driver's race more than anything.

Driver skill rules all. These kind of things are basically meaningless. I've been outrun at the autox by base model mazda protege, and have smoked a tuned 911 Turbo.

The 330 is a great car. Absolutely nothing like the ITR, but still great.

 

i agree, :thumbup:

 

i always thought the itr's would be faster off the line considering the higher power/weight ratio, but on the highway im pretty sure the 330 would do pretty well, german cars are geared for that kind of driving

 

Watch Speed Challenge Touring Class and see how the BMW's always get a
good standing start against any RTR's R to their current TSX or RSX.
