I even embarrased a scoobie in an ovlov 440si singlepoint injection - he was all over the damn road & I was like a greased whippet not crossing the white lines.. totally lost him in the twisty stuff..

What a to55er - all the gear and no idea.. these people wind me up :evil:

Well, I raced a 988 bhp Nissan Skyline in my 325i sport and blew it away!
Ok fair enough my sport does have a full stainless steel system so I cheated a bit
but come on..... 988bhp!

Sports are like the fastest cars ever made, I know they are only 173 bhp or something
but the 'bhp to weight ratio' makes them about 876bhp.

It takes years of experiance to tame the beasts.

my 320i cab is brutal, goes faster with the roof down (roof down = extra 40bhp, don't you know) , kills super bikes.

Did a MK4 golf yesterday. It was gtdi so was pretty pleased. I didn't actually realise we were racing until I backed off to pull into my street. He went round the roundabout, gave me a nod and went back they we had come!

Nah I reckon he's right
...but there's no power difference between a sport and the standard 325i - I thought it was just gearing? or is the ECU mapped any more aggressively?

He would probably win if it had 195 tryes that was bold and a very hard compound and it was pissing it down with rain

Yes i'm piss taking.....
Although my e36 M3 evo did get beaten by an SRI Cavalier to 100mph once!
Very annoying but there was a reason....

Standing start in the wet. 1996 Evo's dont have traction control. Spin 1st spin 2nd 3rd & 4th spinny spin spin...
Oh just grip you bitch!

I caught and passed him like a de-railed out of control Japanese bullet train.

I kept the foot down for pride but nearly died in the process. NOT GOOD AT ALL.
