beat a 330ci coup bmw
2003 bmw 330ci coup--manual. on the highway. tonight. he was doing about 110mph. i caught up to him (so, i was doing something like 135-140mph to catch up).
once i caught up. we signaled and we started going from 85-90mph. i put it in third and started giving it some gas...it wasnt really any competition. i started walking him from the get-go.
he wasnt happy with the results, so we did it 3 more times...same results. once the race started, he'd get left behind.
finally, he rolled down his window and i rolled mine, and he said nice car...i did the same. he gave me a thumbs up.

mine's an auto.
i've got 3.42 rear.
i can stay in third up in the low hundreds. ~115-120mph.
no one really messes with me in the camaro. everyone starts when i'm in my brother's riced-out prelude. times like that make me wish i was in my camaro.
