Default Check 1 E46 off the list..

Celebrating my recent supercharger installation, I was just idling at a red when to my surprise, up rolls and stops a brand new beautiful M3. He starts revving at me, so I figure now is the time to see if i spent the money in all the right places. I rev back, but I guess he was too busy to notice the blower sound. Light turns green, I do not drop it. F*cking my clutch up isn't worth it no matter what the race. So i slip it nicely until it engages and then i'm off. He initially takes the lead by about 1 car length, then as soon as i hit 6000, the charger starts to spool up then i'm catching up. By second i'm dead even with him.. at the end of second my ass is next to his front bumper. Into third and I start creeping away slowly. Now this isn't a slaughter race, but I was a good 1 1/2 - 2 car lengths ahead by the time we hit 110. We stop and he was just flabergasted. He said "What the hell is in that?" I said it was Supercharged @ 290 to the wheels. He just shakes his head in disbelief and said "f*cking amazing". We go off our seperate ways.

All I can say is that was money well spent.

If he heard the supercharger. He probably thought it sounded like a Rabbit Diesel. Somehow, the SC lacks the traditional menacing supercharger sounds. But, when the light flickers green, I am sure your adversary will get more than an earful.

Nice going. I was wondering about whether an SC S2 can take an E46 M3. Now I know.

290 to the wheels, amazing.

How about at the flywheel?

How many pounds you boosting?

Also, anyone know what the E46 M3 gets at the wheels?

Dang, I didn't know SC'd S2ks could be that fast. Sorry for all the questions but mind if I get some 0-60 and 1/4 mile times from the SC'd S2K?
