My wife and I were driving home from the movies (Matrix) in my 328i and we pulled up next to a yellow v-6 Mustang with a body kit and hood. It looked pretty nice, So i looked over to see who was driving and it was 2 teenage guys with there music hitin so hard it was shaking my rear view mirror. My wifes window was down so i look over to him and ask if it was a GT ( I couldent see the single or dual exahust) He said its a V-6 with alot of money into it... So i asked what he had done to it, thinking it was performance mods. He said, body kit, 2 inch drop, cobra R hood, rim's and a phat *** system. So i asked, how about the moter? He said nothing yet....He then said, why do you want to run? So i said what the hell lets go for it. He puts it in Nuteral and starts revving a little bit. Sounded like crap too me.. Light turns green and i punch it. We are even for a little bit (till 20-25mph) then i start pulling pretty easy... By the time i hit 75mph i was surprised how many cars i had put on him. It was pretty ugly, I know it was a v-6 Mustang but i thought it was have had a better showing then that. At the next light he pulls up next to me this time on my side and he said.. Wow, that Bimmer is faster then i thought. I told him it was bone stock. Wich it is.. with almost 90k on it. Light turns green and he turns left...

Now about 2 blocks down I'm sitting at anohter light and i see head lights pull up behind me. Then the car pulls out and gets right next to mee. It was a silver Grand Prix GTP with a women in her mid 20's driving. I dont pay any attention to it cause i figured i had my race for the night and was gonna go home. Then the light turns and she takes off pretty quickley. So i get on the gas a little bit and my nose gets right about to her door handle when she just floors it and takes off. So i floor it a little bit after that to see if i could pull on her at all and it just wasent happening. The Car had some crazy top end pull. Cause she add a few cars on me after i got on it. So we pull up to the light and this time i teel my wife im gonna punch it when it turns green. Well the light turns green and i launch pretty good.. What does she do? Takes off like a little ole grannie. So i wait for her to see if she gets of the gas again and sure enough she changes lanes and steps on it again. So this time i am 3 or 4 cars ahead and i punch and she reels me in. The light turns red and this time im gonna tell her to run. Well.. she gets in the turn lane and takes off. I never got to run her from a stand still, But i'm pretty sure it would have been the same outcome.

 

Good kill and death.

My cousin has a 328i and he has beaten many V-6 Mustangs pretty easily. Those GTP's are quick though, I have seen some GTP's beat z28s with very little mods. I saw a stock GTP beat a 95 GT Mustang by about 5 cars. Good try though.

 

I believe GTP's have a supercharger or at least an optional one. That's where the sleeper power is coming from.

 

good kill/death.

edit: careful with those gtp's. i lined up next to one about a month ago that was running on a 12.2 index.

 

That GTP was really fast.. I was trying to get it from a dig just to see how i would match up. My 328 has great 1st and 2nd gear pull. I have hung with some pretty powerful cars through 1st gear. This car has perfect traction and launches really well. But against a car that weighs just 170lbs more then mine and has 240hp and 280lb-ft plus the Supercharger to help it out on the top end i dont thinik it would have matter much anyway.

 

I raced my friends 325ci in the rain once. I got owned. I just burned my tires -- and they had no problem getting traction. Needless to say, when we raced another (dry) they didn't know what the hell had happened.

 

V6 mustangs, BMW sedans and Grand Prixs racing? Lol where do you live?

 

I live in Henderson, Right outside of Las Vegas (7 miles) Everyone and there mother will race you in Vegas...LOL

 

I used to have a stock GTP as a daily driver and raced a couple of 328's. It was pretty close but the good low end and midrange of the GTP was too much for them. Fun though. A problem with the Camaro is that it's too fast for any kind of street racing. Just too dangerous and not really worth it.
