Default my very first

anyway, right after work i jump on the highway to avoid all the city traffic lights and i also get to play on da s turny on ramp
doing 73 on a suggested 40 and finnally coming out of the turns doing 83 to have unnoticably annoyed 2 other speeding cars already on the highway (possibly racing already)

anywho, one car does catch up and slows a lil bit on the side of me.. and decided to rev a little to show me his turbo and blow off noise
ok thats nice, then he drives past me (i see what im driving with... a mid to upper 90's turbo'd bimmer)
so he sets himself to 3 car lengths ahead of me and hits the brakes 2 times

i took the bait

take it as a 65 roll
im in 6th and say "oh what the hell. why not?"
so i dropp to 3rd and change lanes and notice im not catching up very quickly and now i see its a race...
i passed him quite easily and without red lining.. matter fact i didnt pass 8K on the rev

somewhere along 120 mph ive got at least a car and a half ahead of this guy
and an off ramp is coming up (im thinking) going under will mark the win

nope, it marks the bimmers turn off
appearently is was a circut race

anyway i was kind of hoping to hear his mods an what not afterwards and buddy buddy the situation like everyone else gets to do
damnit, well anyway for that guy... kudos on the set up w/turbo
and if you read this.. no i am not modded in any way
bone stock down to the tire caps to fill my tires with
(well, i did just get a neon greenish oem air filter replacement)


to add to humiliation to the situation ..............

even a turbo 325 would have wasted you..it was probably the e36 body 92-98.5. Or given it was a hackjack turbo kit put together and didnt run correctly then yeah. But a turbo inline 6 regardless would take you, maybe not by much tho
