this just keeps getting better and better..... as red as your car is, how come there is no sign of red reflection in the engine pic?

So how much weight do you (seriously) think that took off? Maybe 500 pounds at most taken off? Then add the weight of your turbo, intercooler, etc. So thats probbaly about 300 pounds that you took off all together. A 7 series weighs 4255 pounds (curb). So 4255 - 200 = 4055.
This is all done in my head, so correct my mistakes

Power is 475hp, so 475/4055 equals a power to weight ratio of roughly 0.11713933415536374845869297163995.

So in order for you to do a quater mile in 10.8 seconds, you would need to put out roughly 636.2200935486642 horse power at the wheels.

Hm, take a picture of your time slip, I'd like to see that...

Also, with only 475 (wheel i assume) horses, your car would have to weigh 2650. There is NO WAY you'd be able to get a 7 series to be that light.

200pnd intercooler, IC pipes, turbo, hoses?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf? what kind of monster turbo setup do you have?

 

[carfix]

night eric, i've had enough...... this guy probably drives a hyundai excel and found some bmw pics in a magazine

 

[CandyApple7]

believe it or not but the carbon fiber and the chassis removed about 850 lbs and i would say total with mods about 700... do the math for me again

Lol read my thing about the quarter mile

 

[manuel]

let me rephrase...
200pnd intercooler, IC pipes, turbo, hoses?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf? howd you get to that conclusion?

 

[carfix]

i did.... 475 hp would put him in maybe low 12's if it were set up for dragging, which it obviously is not

 

[CandyApple7]

listen to be bro... i spent more money on performance mods alone than i did on the car in total. I bought the lightest chassis i could find and my car is carbon fibers and the turbos and stuff odnt weigh that much
i reduced about 700 lbs off the car. just do the math for me

 

[CandyApple7]

u guys are a little wrong on ur weighing

 

[carfix]

okay.... 5 lbs of bullshit and 8 lbs of bullshit minus the evaporation factor 2.1977 still 10.673395 lbs of bullshit

 

[CandyApple7]

sometimes its also the driver and not much the car... but alot of the car but alot of the driver also...right?

First i DID have a miscalculation, you would need rougly 727.8888720308838 horsepower if it would weigh 4055 pounds,



Stock curb weight - 4255 - 700 = 3555.

Power to weight ratio: 0.13361462728551336146272855133615

you'd have to be putting out roughly 638.1368532847823 horsepower.

using another method, you would need rougly 557.7712534070287 horses.
