not your average z3 (naturally aspirated)

Dad's all motor 2.8 Z3...sold about 1 month ago: stage 3 heads, intake manifold, larger mass air, CAI, headers, cams, performance chip, full catback exhaust, 3.73 gears. I'll post back next week (my a610 is in the mail) with the dynos (dad has them, but I think it was 198RWHP/241BHP @ crank WITHOUT STG 3 HEADS..edited)

Model Canon PowerShot A75

for the amount of work and money put into that, 198 isn't much

yeah in fact thts not enough for 2.8 litter engine

love thta engine anyway

How about some shots of the car?

Yes, let's see the car!

OK....I made a mistake on the first post. The 198RWHP is right, MINUS the stage 3 heads. I asked Dad again to verify how much was in the car when he went for his last dyno and he reminded me that they couldn't get a reading with the stage 3 heads on (Something to do with the computerized stuff in them I guess)

So, again the car minus the stage 3 heads had 198hp at the wheels at 241 at the crank. So, with the stage 3 heads the car easily had 300+ HP. It was expensive, but I believe dad got a lot of stuff used for it...headers, 3.73 axle, the tires....ect.

Dad never run it at the track, but we suspect it was running high 12s. Cousin has a 2004 Evo and admitted that it was notibly faster than his car which I believe is a mid 13s car. Dad also beat a 5.0 stang which supposively ran a 13.6 on the street without his stage 3 heads.

So again 300hp for a 2750ish lb car, 12 seconds with slicks...I bet the car wouldn't miss it by much.

===============

Alright here is the only "GOOD" picture I have, and this wasn't even composed or nothing, I just shot it, but this is the sharpest picture I have of the car (My A75 was stolen not too long after I had it)

This one is resized, but you still get the idea.

Now that's a sleeper I wouldn't mind driving!!!

I just don't understand why someone wouldn't at least try it once? Especially if they take the time to dyno it? It would be the first thing I would try, even if it was on a back road at 3AM. We used to have a country road with 1/4 mile marked off on it.
I ask these guys if they've ever run their car for time & 95% of them have never done it... (they tell me as they wipe 2 dust specks off the engine compartment!)
