TL Type S vs 330ci 0-100mph

Its a beautiful day in Wisconsin, its sunny almost 60 and I have a guy in a BMW 330ci stick, M wheels, that wants to play. This guy has been on my butt for the past 3 miles and we finally get a light where we get to line up together. If anyone is from Wisconsin, Captiol drive is 4 lanes 2 lanes each way, so we line up going west on Captiol at Brookfield road and he is laughing and shaking his head as he is revving his engine. I torque break my car to a little over 1000rpm. Light turns green and we are off. He got a good launch and my front end was at his passenger door I kept at that point up to 65-70 where I shit to 3rd and that was when I took over, when I hit 100 I shut down and his front end was at my bumper. As soon as I shut it down he fell about 15 cars back of me and wouldn't even come close to me.

This was the first race in a year since I have had this car where I was racing something that was pretty much equal stat wise and was a true test of how fast my car is stock. GOD I LOVE THIS CAR!!!! This happened about 20 minutes ago, I still have a rush!!

I work in Wauwatosa and I live in the Menomonee Falls right now. Definitely let me know your installer, I was thinking of just having a dealer do it just to keep it all cool with warranty stuff, and since they are a Comptech Dealer, but it would help to know others that would work on this car. Thanks!

I think you mean German straigh 6s.

Nice kill, even better that he was laughing at the line. He must have thought his car was the fastest in the universe. There is always someone faster, no matter how quick you are. Again, sweet kill, I think BMWs are one of the tastiest snacks just because a lot of their drivers are arses.

Nice Kill!! and Matt, I know exactly what you are talking about.. Some dude in a New Audi 3.0 on HWY26 heading west was totally messing with me, and I just put it in SS and click down twice while I was going 65mph, and left him in the dust...

It pretty damn fun!!!
