So I'm driving home from college for the weekend and on my way home a BMW Z4 3.0i comes passing me up at about 75mph. I look over and because it was a convertable I see the driver (a middle adged dude) and he had a nice little trophy wife riding shotgun. So I catch up to him and stay up next to him for a few seconds and then stomp it. He floors it right after I do and promptly passes me. I cut it off at over 100. I knew I would lose, but it was fun just the same.


Yeah yeah I know I didn't follow protocol with the three honks. It was just a fun thing for me to do since I don't drive my baby much while I'm in school. By the way I have a 2003 TL-P with an Icebox. At least I helped him get some...

 

get some headers and you would have been neck and neck with him.

 

How do you have an icebox on a 2003?

 

the icebox is for 99-03 tl's.

 

what's chance for roll start with TL-S or 3G vs Z4?

roll start....... with vtec high lobe

I know I will get ass kicked if I started from standing still.

 

the Z4 3.0 could not keep up with me at the track whenever we head to the straight, he was behind me all the time and when i acclerate i always have a jump when it hit the VTEC

but...i do have headers/intake/catback exhaust, so i do have around 20 horsepower advantage to the Z4

 

TL-S will pull away once it hit the 5000rpm, when the VTEC kicks in

 

What track you go to in Toronto area?

 

Shannonville, about 200km away from Toronto

 

So to be safe, I should only do roll start against Z4 with my 3G AT?
