hey hey i took out a 135i today!! highway from 60 on (triple digits!) the BMW definatly has less turbo lag but i creeped up and won by a little less than a 1/3 car length! that was some ZCHIP sweetness!!
That probably shouldn't have happened. Also, I'm predicting a "we don't condone street racing" in 3...2...1...
I would like to see the dyno results on a Dynopack dyno, mine is at 215HP and 240TQ after the Ecutek tuning, no mods, Everyone that I asked said that Dynojet, and Mustang Dynos run higher figures, Whereas Dynopack, the wheels are taken off, and the dyno is bolted onto all 4 hubs to get a true reading...
So it would be interesting what the Z-chips numbers truly are at

They can vary by , calibration, tempeture, humidity , etc.
You can even pull different numbers on same gas, same dyno , in different day or time. Even with open or closed hood...
So dont judge too much with dyno numbers, when they are fairly close together.
Just a little hint .

135i is doing anything between 5.7 to 5.2 0-60 mph... and weighs about 3715 lbs. im sure if your having a good day and feeling lucky you can get a 135i under your RA belt!

Benchmark Racing FTL..
If he beat it, then he beat it, plain and simple.
135 is a low to mid 13 sec car depending on driver. If a zchip ralliart can beat a 135, thats amazing. Especially from a roll, considering the rallairt is at a weight disadvantage, more drivetrain loss, etc. From a dig, the RA would have a slight jump thanks to traction, but once moving the 135 should pull.
None the less, its a great kill if it happened.
