Well I had two runs with two BMW's today first one was a early 2000's 330. I pulled up next to him at the red light he rolls down his window and asked me if I want to run his car I say sure and he tells me he is going to show my slow ass mustang a thing or two. Well the light goes green and we are off I have No wheel spin at all by the end of first I had a car and half by the end of 2nd I had two cars and by the end of 3rd I had 4 cars and shut it down.


2nd race was with a early 2000's BMW 540 this race was from a 40 roll I was in 2nd he honked it of on the 3rd honk we were off I put a car on him right off the top I hit 3rd and put one more car on him by 4th I put I had 4 cars on him and shut it down we tried to get one more race in but we could not get a chance to run any more. I have to say I am happy with my car.

I wonder if the 330 owner thought he had a 335i or thought they were both close performers :lol1:

Good kills O.P
I would've expect the 540 to keep up better than that. Any mods done to the Cobra? :beer:

540i v8 makes like 282hp flywheel and is like a 15 sec car no shit a cobra should kill that and the lack of hp v6 330!

race a 02+ m3 333hp
or a 2000-03 m5 withe 394 hp and they would be better comparisons

cause the new m3 and m5's will walk a 2001 stock cobra

Nice kills op. I had a similar run in with a early 2000ish 3 series and I put a good bus length on the guy twice but he was cool about it.

They are actually in the 14's. Like I said, it SHOULD'VE kept up better but it didn't.

And why post about the other BMW's? He didn't race neither of those......
