Raced 2 BMWs

The first one was a 750IL, the older model. I was passing someone in the fast lane, when I saw him coming up from behind me. As I was trying to move over so he can pass, he flies over two lanes into the slowest lane so that he can pass everyone all at once. When I see this, I gun it just to see what's gonna happen, and he pretty much stays even with me the whole time but has to slow down and get behind me because someone is in his lane. When my lane clears, I move over and hit it going about 75, beginning of third. I slowly pulled away from him about a car length to 110, put it in fourth and it stayed there to 125 before I slowed down again because of a few cars in front of us. I let him pass me and got behind him. I knew as soon as it cleared up, he'd try to get away from me. When he did, I punched it too but had to slow down a little not to hit his rear end. When I put it in 4th, it pretty much stayed even the whole time to 130. He took the next exit without even looking over, and I was just gonna give him thumbs up.

The second race was against a newer 325i. I was in the fast lane passing someone and he was swerving left and right passing everyone. When he got behind me, I just punched it. He tried to keep up but by 120 he was a buslength behind me I slowed down and let him pass so that I could get behind him. Once traffic cleared up again, I let him first. I moved over and once again dusted him by a few cars to 120.

Then he flew by me after I had already beaten him twice

A few minutes later it started snowing, and that was it for this 600 mile trip.

I have Headers, Icebox and suspension mods...and I was gate shifting.

For only '184hp', it does pretty well with a 5MT (assuming it had a 5MT).

Like Seattle stated, keep it safe out there FastAcura.

you only had a bus length on a 325. My cousine had an 02 325 and i slaughtered him with a tlp and no headers. When i got headers it was not even a race anymore. I had him well past 130 and kept pulling.

Maybe it was more than a buslength, it's hard to keep your eyes where the guy is when you're going that fast, but he was way back. I just consistantly pulled on him as if he wasn't trying (but I know he did because he flew by me after I slowed down) It was probably the slowest car that I've raced in the CL-S.

suspension work helps w/launching and keeps the car stable at high speeds.
