Race him for pink slips.


A Turbo will give you 75-150 hp but no chip will add 75hp to a 200 hp engine. All a chip will do is ramp up the timing and perhaps lean out the A/F mixture which would give anywere from 5 to 15 hp. Stock for stock a S2000 will beat a 2.5 (on the track, on autoX or at the dragstrip).

dude, first of all. There is no chip will give that much HP for NA engine.

S2000 is a litle bit faster than E36M3 (stock vs stock). I say race him. That will shut him up.

Your friend really loves to believe what the tuners say, or he just thinks you're an idiot.

I've driven the 2.5 Z4 and it's plain out slow.

"crapface" - I like that.

Just race him, then drop a piano on his sister.

Yeah i think all the BMW chip makers claim at max 15hp.
I think he added the extra 60 for the amount of money he spent on it.
