JUst thought i'd share BMW story
well today i was running some errands, and i was around glendale california area on my way home, and this new 07 or 08 X5 rolled up. we were on a stop light, he was checking out my car. then all of a sudden when the light turned green and he pushed his car WOT down the street, and im like WTF! i was like what ever, then we hit another green light, and i forgot i recently broke in my car so lets see what my pony can do against a 350hp X5. so this guy puts on his sunglasses and i'm like OK COOL GUY. So the light turns green and BOOM there i go chirpin on 1st, 2nd, and a little on 3rd, pulling away almost 2 car lengths in about i'd say 2 1/2 block distance. but it felt good to take on something that has more horsepower i know weight is a factor, but it was funny how his expression was when i whooped his car silly, and he was the one who started this mess in the first place. i just served him a can of whoopass.! lol welp dats my story!

Good Kill. Nothing I like more than surprising a $100K Mercedes or BMW with my lowly Mustang. I had a kill about a month ago against a CLS 55 AMG. He was hauling *** through traffic, so I caught up to him at the next light. I rolled up slow, I could see him looking at me out of the corner of his I, so I knew he was going to hit it. We both caught a good light, he spun a little, I didn't. I had a half a car length on him when I hit second and he was looking at my tail lights when I hit third and shut it down. Of course he is heavier but he was also running a 479 hp supercharged V8. I saw him a week or to later at another light and he would not even look at me. I am tuned for torque, I am running 4.10’s and I have improved the traction quite a bit, it is a killer combo off the line. Note that I would not want to meet up with this guy on the autobahn.
