- Thread starter Silentkiller335i

Hell yeah, are you gonna build any of kind of chassis brace for the front? Or just leave the frame rails the way they are?
Looks terrible. You're probably shit at tetris.
Still tho, very much enjoying build

Depressing thread. Our trans and suspension are still junk after all these years. 2800lbs couldnt get the job done.Same whp and 4,000lb cars are at mid 9s
It
I’ll clarify.The build is awesome. Your parts are the latest batch of newer n54 products.The time you took to make the thread is amazing. Your build is NOT, depressing.I myself have put about 20k into my car, and started building with previous options from as far back as 2012. I have a full weight e90 that can barely pull 10.9 on a street race (dragy)It really urks me that 4,000lb cars are still faster. Even at 7-800whp. So I read through all newcomers attempts and i get excited all over again. still haven’t found the guys that can find a better way. It looks like new parts, same results. 2,800lb and even 500whp should pull 9s. Big single at 700whp should be deep into 8s atleast. Meanwhile these zl1 etc can pull 9.3-9.6 at 700whp. Depression is,Ive been hoping for the past few years (6or so) that we would have a recipe for a 7 second car. I just lack confidence in that dream now. Definitely not a knock on your car.
It's going to take more than 700 hp to get in the 8's I'm afraid to say, let alone the deep 8's. Also, the suspension on these cars suck. You can have all the power in the world but if you spin, wheel hop, etc you're screwed.
I appreciate it but man you got your stats all messed up. No zl1 running low 9’s with 700hp. Coyotes do that with about 900whp weighing about 3800lbs. No no. It takes a lot more then 500hp to run a 9 sec pass lol but don’t worry there is some crazy builds going on this year and there will be a n54 in the 8’s before this year is over I can guarantee that.
Atleast you can say you hit 10s. I dont think theres a 10 second E93 out there. Im in the 11s
To the OP, keep it pushn !!!! Congrats on ur times !
Not really, I still want to be able to race the car in street car classes, iam getting a fiberglass hood and trunk soon
First time out on new setup, first shakedown pass on wastegate 18psi.
Also new 60-130 record set last night
It was nice getting to meet some of you guys at tx2k!
This is a crazy build! Good luck breaking records this year!
