    Talking '99 323is vs DINAN 635 csi

    Ok...the setting...at a stoplight on a 2 lane road. sitting there. the guy was with his gf in his relatively clean dinan 635 csi, and me with my friend. i had just finished with a cocky little gheyfer in a 280z which was actually pretty quick, but i still became victorious. Anyway....he saw me driving aggressively and new i would be up for a race so he revs and i return the favor with a little blip of the throttle. Granted the ole 323 is stock, it still grunts a little

    the lights begin to change and the revs go up to 4k so i thought i give the clutch a hard time to get a good launch because i had no idea of this car's ability...especially with that 'little' DINAN emblem on the rear. He also brings up his revs as his gf yells "you're hot!" to me... so that pissed him off.

    the light goes green and we're off....i get absolutely NO wheelspin and it feels great. He didnt spin either and he also got a good launch. at the top of 1st he was at my quarter panel...i can hear him chirp into second just before i shift...through second i gain a half c/l and keep gaining until the top of 3rd which is where i let off and he was 3 cars back! it was a fun race and we both gave a thumbs up and went on. ...the only "mod" i have is a clutchstop...so basically nothing..but yeah.

    whatdya think... ?

    thanks

    yeah it was a fairly easy kill, but he wasn't THAT slow...i wonder what kind of dinan mods he had because he kept pretty well...plus he was a manual, so it could be slightly different. Anyone know what mods are normal for the e24's? comparable to the normal chip, intake, and exhaust for e36's.

    thanks for the feedback

    it very well could have been fake dinan...i didnt have a chance to talk to the guy so i will never know. Considering how the 635 has been said to be slow...it probably had some stuff done.

    thanks

    Hey, congrts, Kyle! Good kill! Those CSI's can be pretty quick. There's one in town that I ran against in the old GTI that gave me a hard time.

    BTW...where were you on Sunday, mister?

    if it was an auto those ran about 8.2 0-60, 5 speeds did about 7.4
    it would take some serious modding to get a 635CSi as quick as a 5speed 323is with a few mods. That said, the cars were pretty fucking quick to 50, 5.4 0-50 for an auto, 4.8 0-50 for a 5speed

    ok...im sure you guys have heard many excuses for not coming to meets...but get this crap.

    i wake up and wash my car so that she looked great for the guys ...gettin ready to leave at 10 to get a good drive in before i go meet up at andrettis, and my mom hears the door open and close(me sneaking out) and runs down to tell me that i have a graduation party to go to for a family friend: :

    this seriously just pissed me off so bad i couldnt stand it ...so i say fuck it and still leave when she goes inside, but only to get a call 20 minutes later when she finds out that i left and im grounded for 2 weeks...but that's not all, my god damn birthday is tomorrow so they're gonna be all pissed off on my birthday because i love cars(which is really what it comes down to). All in all...i made a huge sacrifice for you guys and bmw's and risked my freedom for the last week of school and the first week of summer in which this would be happening

    i hope this lets me off the hook...and i am sorry i couldnt make and will be at the next one

    LOL...damn, his girlfriend actually said that you? If my girlfriend ever said that to another guy while I was racing. I'd kick that bitch to the curb faster than Flash on crack.

    Heh... OWNED!!!

    Sorry you couldn't make it out to the meet, but things happen. Good luck with that punishment and we hope to see you at the next meet we have. Hopefully next time, you are able to attend, as well as we are able to actually have the mountain drive (stupid weather). :

    Happy Birthday, by the way.

    My guess is fake Dinan...or just a suspension set up.

    Also possibly a tired old engine W/ a wornout top end.

    My '84 6er is stock, and I've taken 323's in traffic and on the interstate.

    THe E36's and even the E46's are longer and heavier than the old E24's.

    I'm not sure what was up with that guy, but I dont think it was a 100% to 100% somehow...

    635s arent slow, when i drive my dads 635csi in sports shift mode, it seems like it would give my modded E36 325is a good run for its money.

    haha..yeah man...i was really surprised too. After she said that i could hear the guy yell at her and she goes..."what..i thought he was hot." I would just slam on the brakes and kick her ass out the door...no lie. it was a win win situation for me though. Won the race and his girl with my incredible sexiness

    and ron...thanks for noticing...i got my windows tinted and i took my baffle out of my airbox so it was a good bday
