Was just driving home down a pretty open two lane road and a BMW comes up to me with the usual loud BMW exhaust sound.
I typically stay away from street racing but it was later, the road was ride open, the temps were cool, so I figured what the heck.
I've raced a few BMW M classes before and walked them pretty easily, and since I have my new Nittos on I figured even with the cooler temps I don't have to worry about traction.
We were doing about 50 and I let him get the jump. Just a BMW, right? Well he jumped, I jumped, and he walked away from me like I was driving my wife's Equinox and yes, the Nittos held.
I thought to myself, "No farking way that thing walked me like that!" so we lined up again and both basically hit it at the same time and same result, he just pulled away with ease.
We pulled over and he was a nice guy, and claimed all he's had done is an E85 tune, and a downpipe exhaust.
I'm not that familiar with those cars, but is that possible?
I drove home with my tail between my legs and of course now I'm thinking I need MORE POWER!
