Question bout a race with a 325is

Hi,
A kid at my school drives a 1995 BMW 325is it is pretty much stock except for a chip and a muffler. He is a real jerk and has always been asking me if I wanted to race. He talks a lot of trash about Camaros and thinks that all domestics not only suck but are slow! I am tired of putting up with this kids crap so I told him I would race. Who do you think would win? I have a 350 with Headers, no cat, flowmaster muffler, edelbrock performer intake, and a Edelbrock 750cfm carb. Oh and I will use my exhaust cut out so forget about the muffler. Thanks all feedback is appricated!

I beat one that was a convert though I think it was a 323 or so, not sure, I'm no BMW expert, that was with the old LG4 and headers.

You shouldn't have much trouble at all shutting him up.

if i am thinking right... my ex-girlfriend's boyfriend has one of these and thinks because he is a little rich kid with the BMW that daddy bought him, that he could walk all over me. So i said i would gladly shut him up. My car is no speed demon... stock L03 with a 5 speed. So we line up on a country road and someone flags us and that was the end of it.... he lost hard... and in front of her... lol that was the greatest!! so yeah... you should have him no problem!!

Race Safe!

You have any idea what the "325" means....
No its not 325 cubic inches,
Its a "3" series with a "2.5" 4 cylinder engine rated at 189hp
and a gutless peak torque rating of 184 ft/lbs,
At the very best he would have no more 200hp with the chip and muffler. In fact those modes are such a small gain that it aint gonna make much of a difference.

Anyways, have fun wasting him....

You will kill him. My mom use to have a 2001 BMW 325 convt with an automatic. I took it for a drive and that thing was pathetic, I couldn't do a burnout if my life depended on it. It had no lowend power and very little highend power. You won't have a problem at all, especially with a 350 and I'm sure the 2001 I drove is faster than his 1995. Have fun shutting up that little rich kid.

Most times the chips for the 3 series just just get rid of the factory governor which is set at 120mph so the rich people can go fast and crash.
