there are a few guys in the tristate area running twin turbo R set ups pushing between 500 and 600 wheel...... i call that car very serious no bs

ricky2i5 · 05-06-2009, 08:57 AM

the rims on the VW looks like R32 rims, in that case the r32 is quattro awd pushing 240ish? hp. compared to RWD and 215ish hp?

Erik · 05-06-2009, 09:10 AM

passenger was annoying. like every 8 seconds he would just yell a terrets "AH!" or "OH!" Eitherway, the VW took off. im pretty impressed.

Elliott18t · 05-06-2009, 09:13 AM

yeah, I'd probably would mess with a turbo'd .:R....

That's dumb. I wouldn't use a Z4 to represent BMW.

Elliott18t · 05-06-2009, 09:53 AM

the ol' turbo M.. even the 335 with a tune would be better

SoStock92 · 05-06-2009, 12:39 PM

Or mine :P

piku · 05-06-2009, 12:43 PM

Lol, Jon I can't wait until you get that thing MOVING. I want to see track times and more importantly I want a ride. If you killed me, it wouldn't be the worst way to go ;)

Lmfao, that's embarrassing. That's why you don't do that kinda thing, you never know what you're going to run into.

Proven · 05-06-2009, 02:20 PM

That Vids exactly why i used to do that sort of thing. Sometimes you get the "omg, whats done to that" and sometimes you get treated to the unexpected and you go OMG. Its great!

Great vid!!

Brazen06 · 05-06-2009, 03:23 PM

not hard to beat a Z4, hell my lil 1.8T gave my uncles M coupe a run for its money

Turbo s60R · 05-06-2009, 03:39 PM

It's true, I was surprised how badly I whooped a 3.0i Z4 in my M3. I'm sure it had an auto trans but I still figured the size/weight advantage would get me. Now a Z4M with a 6 speed and you've got some problems. But an unmodified 1.8T couldn't even touch an M coupe. I can keep up with an STi for a little while in my M3 but I am soundly defeated in the end.

05 mazda6s · 05-06-2009, 06:20 PM

Yeah like I wouldn't title it that way "VW vs BMW" just name it "Volkswagen Golf vs BMW Z4" because when it do between the two manufacturers then it makes it seem as if your comparing the makes not the 2 individual cars. To better rep BMW, either the 135, M3 or M6 would better represent BMW in terms of power.
