97 3.0 CL vs. 95 BMW 325i

One of my friends has a 95 325i with and intake and is always bragging how fast it is. I was following her as we were getting ready to get on the highway. As soon as we got on the ramp I new she was going to get on it so I was ready. As we entered the ramp we both romped on it. Before we even hit the bottom of the ramp I had to let off, I almost hit her in the ass. When we merged onto the highway I went right around her really without any problem. I let off at about 140mph. Her bimmer is governed at 125 so I dont know what would have happened at upper speeds, all in all good race ( for a bimmer).

Geez...140, too fast for my taste. For me I just like to test acceleration, not cojones/stupidity. 99% of the time you can settle the issue by the time you get to 100 mph.

last time i did a high speed run i was impressed by how well my car was pulling in 4th. i had to wait a tad for it to jump to the more agressive cam profile but once there it was pulling good again.
~1 mile after the run i came across a cop
