    *VIDS* KILLED - Turbo E36 vs H/C GTO

    Found this thread on LS1tech. Anybody in here?

    Anti-cliffs:

    You Houston boys need to meet my buddy "Mario". Mexico ain't too far and that's where he lives. I decided to cruise over to his casa tonight thinking that maybe this cold front might put a little damper on the "ls1etr"'s style, but it didn't. Mario is one of these guys who will admit first hand, "It might not be pretty, but my shit will run son." And I don't argue. His pride and joy is a 1997 E36 M3. He's had it a few years and I believe this is the third turbo setup he's had on it. Needless to say his boost gauge stops at 20psi so I have no idea what he's actually running. What I do know is that the motor is built, ported, and cammed. The car has 550+rwhp and weighs 3300lbs with him in it.

    My car on the other hand is a sturdy 3900 or so with me in it, heads, cam, 3.91s, misc bolt ons, and I should be putting around 450 to the wheels or better. Mario knows all this because he did almost all of the work on it. If you're local I can hook you up as he does great work for great prices.

    The first vid is a 40 roll, he tries to get me to go from the 50 that I previously negotiated out. As expected I pulled for a few seconds until his tires caught and then it was bye bye GTO.

    The second vid is from a dig with me getting the hit. I was spinning every time I mashed the pedal and was worried about hitting him. Apparently he wasn't as worried as I was because after he spun through 2nd he ate my smurfing lunch in 3rd.

    All in all, I knew it was going to happen. Everyone raise your shots to the death of the GTOHNO. I'll get 'em next time.

    Its rare to see LS1tech guys not bashing someone. I'm glad a big turbo BMW shut them up.

    Give it a little more time. LOL. There's a lot of insecurity over there. It's understandable when you're driving a GM. Like any forum though there are some good members.

    I sent a PM to one of the FI gods, and he said he has never heard of the guy or the car, so he's probably not a member here.

    I 'ed when one of the guys on ls1 tech said "I think it's turbo AND supercharged".....smart one he must be. It is nice to see them not bashing for once, I guess they don't know that it takes very little to make big power in a turbo E36.

    Lack of knowledge on M3's made me LOL in that forum.

    easy now, lol. I think there are a lot of guys over there that respect non LSx cars. Go spend some time in the hybrid section.

    There are some guys on ls1tech that are accepting of non-LSx makes and models, but there is also a solid crowd who believe the LS1 was crafted by a very republican man named Jesus Christ, and all else is "rice".
