I'd like to say say that I "LAID TO WASTE" (yeah, that sounds more brutal) some jackass in a Beemer 325i M3. What a freakin joke this clown was.
Took the TA out for a kwick ride on Sunday. Hooked a U-E around the Bendix Diner and headed down 17 south back home. Some jerk in this tinted out BMW (B.reak M.y W.indow), decides to drive in 2nd gear whilst next to me...screaming out his engine. I paid him no mind at the moment but the tinglings of my past youth started bubbling to the surface. Ahhh, a free lane. I cut to the right and get pole position at the light just before Mt Fuji. Beemer Boy pulls up behind me. I toss on the flashers...he replies with his own amber blinkies. The light turns green, we're off!
...And my excitement dwindles, as I CASUALLY shift from 3rd to 4th, realizing Beemer Boy is about 8 car lengths behind me? WTF? That wasn't even worth the 1/2 gallon of gas I wasted revving to 6K rpm just to chirp 2nd. Is that car that slow or is mine just that fast? I know the LS1 is a respectable engine that makes gobs of power, but do I have a fluke motor or did jerk boy just not have a clue? I know he was on it cause he passed everyone else without any problems...unless he let off after realizing he didn't have a chance. Plus he had to do the "drive by" and pass me up after I already OWNED (hehe) him.
Anyone race one of these cars?
