Default s/c '00 GS4 v. s/c '05 M3

2000 Lexus GS400 [supercharged] automatic vs. 2003[?] BMW M3 [supercharged] manual

Curb Weight [according to KBB]
3693 lbs. LEXUS
3415 lbs. BMW
don't know what that means 'cause we both have heavy *** rims and i got a system so yeah.. who knows lol

anyways, he said he was runnin' like 7lbs. i told him my car is still gettin' worked on lol.. i would let it sit in the shop but i love it too much and want to drive it too much for that.. so anyways.. i told him i'm lucky to be boostin' 1-3lbs. lol [unknown boost leaks at the moment] he said he was 550hp+? don't know.. it was loud out and i couldn't hear for **** but i'm sure it was 500 something. [note: i have oil leaks, coolant leaks, boost leaks, no boost gauge so i'm unsure of what i'm boosting but i know it's not what i'm supposed to] lol so my car = **** right now gonna drop it off soon to get it fix, but back on topic. i told him i'd still do a few pulls for fun to see where i'm at lol

first pull we're about even.. just did it to show off a little bit, flutterin' n **** lol

second pull he gets me pretty good.. don't know by how much.. didn't seem like much though

third pull - he whoops my *** bad 2-3 cars and still pullin' on me by the time we shut it down.

sad night for me lol.. so i'm not gonna race no one til i get all my **** fixed and the rest of my parts in.. lol i have so far to go before i'm even done with performance mod's

not bad for a 4 door luxury sedan though by all means.

I will post since no one else will. Bro, get your **** fixed. Second, a lighter, manual car with about 100 more hp will hand you your a$$ anyday. A "good running" s/c'd luxury V8 sedan is about effortless highway cruzing, immediate merging and passing power. A street racer it is not, although you can make some quick stock cars look pretty foolish. Enjoy the power when you have it dialed in. With all the other shyte you have done to your car, you can look great even when you your right foot is not planted.

Get her dialed and get us some video, dyno and maybe some smoke (from the tires that is).
