Got me a beemer yesterday.

Just the Smarty on 9. 480-ish hp is what I guess I have at the wheels with #9.

Rather simple race. 3 lanes. 3 cars pacing each other. I get behind the beemer in the right lane and he moved up kinda quick. I just pulled up to his left and barked the turbo. Race on!. Jumped back in it. Stayed even for this due to some traffic.

Once around traffic we had a little more even run from 70+. We were even till I was around 100mph and I actually started to PULL! WTF? Isn't this aerodynamically backward?

We did this 3 or 4 times. Each time I pegged the speed-o at 120 and put at least 2 trucks on him.

The beemer was de-badged 3 series coupe. so I'm not sure of the exact possible motor option. I don't think it was the twin turbo I-6. Must of been the base line motor. It was an 06-07-08, the latest body style 2 door.

We ended on a thumbs up note! Love a fellow street racer that isn't a prude!
