No shoud I? would I? could I?

damn, the best statement I've seen on this bench racing forum.

Just Do it....but i suggest going to a race track....street racing takes life's

if you all wanted your 335i procede, (which is plenty fast)
to beat everything, you should have bought a z06!

but guess what... what is he gonna get to the club 1 min b4 me, lol

My friends catbacked cobra is making about 15 more hp than me, but im making a bit more tq than him. Thats with him on 93 also.

Well...like I said, my Cobra dynoed at about 380RWHP bone stock and those things pick up sick horsepower with almost any mod. I did the chip first and picked up 25+RWHP and even more torqe and once you do an exhaust and start swapping pullies they gain ridiculous power. I had a KB blower on mine for a while as well and those really shine on the track. My Cobra trapped at about 114mph stock and that was on stock tires. The Cobra is a straight line rocket ship...

LOL, this thread is downright hilarious.

Apart from the fact you shouldn't even have a 335 in high school, you're going to get absolutely schooled by 2 of those 3 cars. It'll be a decent race between you and the M5, with the edge going to you.

The CTS-V is going to beat you.

The Cobra, if it's an 03-04, and since you said it's blown, it is (unless you have no idea what you're talking about, which is entirely possible), is going to downright destroy you. A *stock* terminator Cobra is a good enough race for a BPU 335i; a modded one, especially running a smaller pulley as you claim, is going to hand you your ass on a platter. He'll take your mother out for a nice seafood dinner, and *never* call her again. The 03-04 Cobra are severely underrated from the factory, which claims 390 crank hp stock. They frequently dyno about 10 less than that...at the wheels. With the mods you listed, I wouldn't be surprised if he's putting down 500whp.

There isn't a need to race the CTS-V and the Cobra, you're just going to get owned. Plan a track date with the M5 once you get the Procede in though, should be a fun time. Don't go racing on the street. You wouldn't want to get your license taken away after you've only had it for a few months

The m5 is a stock 2001 car with 400 to the crank. The cobra has better pulleys for the supercharger, exhaust, and possibly an intake; claims about 415-430 to the crank.

I would like to call BS on his numbers.
CTS-V (LS2 or LS6 depending on year) with an intake and exhaust (these engines aren't chipable, but you can buy shitty ECU flash programs that don't do much ) is not going to be hitting 500hp at the crank. His numbers should be closer to the ones that the cobra guy is claiming. Oddly enough if he really does have those mods (on the cobra) he is probably underestimating himself.

You are talking about Vishnu Stage 1, i.e. Both Procede and Vishnu Exhaust. Has anyone dynoed Vishnu stage 1? I know some people have dynoed Procede with their own exhausts, but there might be differences in the aftermarket exhausts.

Anyone else want to vomit on themselves after reading this thread?

17 and 18 year old kids with M5s and Cadillac’s.....I'm trying to figure out who I want to smack more, the kids or the parents....I'm leaning towards the parents. No matter, odds are they'll be scraping their son off the road fairly soon anyway, maybe then it will hit home.

*footnote, I don't wish death on anyone, and to loose a child must be the hardest thing in the world. I just have to wonder what some of these people are thinking though.

As I anticipate a plethora of highly intellegent responses, ranging from, "you're just jealous" , I" worked hard for 3 summers to help buy this car", "I'm the best driver you'll ever see, and therefore won't end up dead", "I got a 4.0 GPA and therefore I deserve the car" , ......Blah, blah, blah.

I'm always up for a good debate though and would be happy to chat.

I agree (the parents). A brand new car of any type is a bit extravagant in my opinion. My kids are going to hate me one day (assuming I have some) I don't care how much money you have buying your kids a 50k car with 400+ hp is just stupid.

OP, hopefully you have a good head on your shoulders and didn't wind up spoiled. Be safe.

CTSVs share the vette drivetrain, just a bit more junk in the trunk. I would have gone that route, but I can't justify spending 20k more for a bigger engine and some minor cosmetics (versus the base CTS). 335i will get me by (and be the daily driver) until I can afford a Z06.

Think your situation through carefully. You own a BMW 335. It is not designed to be a drag racing car. Be cool and enjoy the car. Resist temptation to street race. What does it determine anyway? Are your friends with fast gas hogs better than you because of the cars they drive? Relax and be smart and safe. Guarantee the girls will appreciate your control and good sense. They don't want to get caught in the middle of some cock fight.
