5 car race I had to get in on!

[The Rev]

After picking my sister up from work at 2am yesterday I had to just test it out, see if my overheating/low oil pressure problem was worked out. Well it was.

We saw a group of 5 cars parked in front of the mall she works at, all getting on the highway together, revving and burning out at the stop light, among them were

infinity g35
2 door alero, all riced out w/ decals and all
bmw 3 series w/ exhaust
cadillac eldorado which looked stock
chrysler 300m, 20s, but i doubt any performance mods


Well they all started racing (which was very unsafe, 5 cars on a 3 lane highway) and I didn't want to get involved so I followed (90-100mph) until the 300 and eldorado gave up i guess, so I caught up to the other 3. The alero was cooked at 110, and we strolled right by, then the bmw slowed down and let us pass, and we took over the g35 at about the 125 mark....which is when it went south

i saw flashing lights in my rearview....

...but it was the bmw flashing his highbeams at me as he proceeded to hand me my ass on a platter, easily passing us beeping his horn and flashing(we were still in the 120 mph range)

Those BMWs can MOVE!

It was really cool, and this all happened in a 4 mile semi straightaway on 95


All looks good w/ the oil pressure and cooling system as well, I never went over M on the gauge.

A stock 3 series or twin turbo 3 series?>

 

[The Rev]

I have no idea, I cant tell bmws apart, it was a 2 dr, black, and fast, very very fast to be passing me at 120+

It had the clear directional in the back w/ those blue lights as opposed to the orange one my friend has on his, and the lights looked to be of a newer model, it had the angel eyes w/ hids as well. it had one of those turn-up dual tipped mufflers

 

[Abbens]

I cant tell the difference between them either. I know of the twin turbo 3 series from the tv commercials spots.

 

[unity]

A regular 3 series reminds me of a re-branded Volkswagen. I would not think a stock 3 series could out pace a Mark.

Regardless.... you need a chip!

 

[vr4]

many different levels of 3 series.


an E36 M3 would leave a mark on the highway pretty easily. an E46 330 would have too much trouble doing the same. an E90 335 (twin turbo) would have no problems whatsoever

I bet it was the e90 335 cuz i don't think a N/A v6 could walk by a mark at throse speeds.

 

[The Rev]

I don't know if its the same engine or anything, but a former co-worker had an 01 330ci (is that right?) and my mark pounded it routinely. He wasnt a great driver but still.

Unity: I went by the shop to drop off my fuel filter (he forgot I had my own and used one of his so I gave em mine) and he asked when I was going to opt for the 255 and a chip, I was blown away! He said "I've worked on this thing enough to know its done breaking down for the immediate future, add some bolt ons now!"

 

[unity]

HAHA. Ya, where is that pump and chip! I put my 255 install off far too long. When I finally did it it was not bad at all. If you get a chip you will not regret it!
