    TTRS vs R8 vs BMW Z4M Coupe

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys, im new here.

    Im gonna have run with both a V8 R8 and a Z4M. The Z4m is a damn fast car, its all stock but it has a modified exhaust. And the thing is that the Z4M had about 5 runs with 2 R8s, and it was very even with them!! and sometimes the Z4M was a tiny bit faster. So my question is: what are my chances with both the R8 and the Z4M???

    Just to let u know guys i did my calculations and it was that the TTRS's power-to-weight ratio does 231hp per ton and the Z4M does 230.5 hp per ton. So i have only a half hp advantage but with being drivin through AWD, the Z4M will have the advantage due to RWD and better aerodynamics.

    So tell me guys, any of you with any experience with R8 and the Z4M?

    I can shift fast. I mean really really fast. But i don't really know what will happen. You have any idea what would happen if i race the R8?

    LOL, I'm calm. Guess I didn't give credit for shifting: "really really fast..." My bad. ;-)

    A TTRS should beat a Z4M with equal drivers. But, with equal drivers, no current US version TT in stock form will beat a stock Z4M. But then, by the time we get the TTRS, the 135 M-version will be available: cheaper and faster too.

    Interesting that the Z4 M is on par with the V8 R8, I likely would have guessed otherwise, and been wrong.

    I thought kids in junior high weren't allowed on the forums?

    Grow some balls and just go do it... Posting results would be more interesting than all the stupid speculation. Maybe do a mere mortal shifting run, and then a really, really fast shifting run if necessary ;)
