Well I have to say that today was the first time I raced anyone without taking full advantage of 2nd or 3rd gear. It was a late model 325 and I have to say that I rode 4th gear almost all the way and stayed dead even with it. The only time I would gain ground was when traffic got heavy and I would slow down enough to drop 3rd and pull on him. The 3-series is definitely a worthy opponent!! Those Germans make great beer and great cars!!

 

Yeah they do, but still you were in 4th!

 

HA most of my mini races are in 4th. I spend all my time in the freeway so I've never been able to race anyone from a stop.

 

I guess that makes sense!
But I've at least been able to start the race from 3rd in most of the races I've had on the highway.

 

Germa are the best at producing cars by far unfortunatly not the best at reliability, that where Honda/toyota come in to play!

 

Oh I go to 3rd gear too...but that is usually reserved for when noone is around. I dunno...but I kind of get embarrased when my CAI is whailing and all eyes go on me. :p

 

I get embarrassed when I accidently chirp the tires from a stop! I feel like people are looking at me and thinking, "look at this a$$hole!"

 

Ha ha!...that would be me...(the guy giving you the angry look) :p

 

i had 4 ppl in my car but it was night time and dark tint the guy in a 96 325 didnt see that i had a car full so he started messin with me, he was by him self so from the dead stop he took me well and easey, but once i got up and caught up, i flew past him
