Default Me vs 740i

My girlfriends friend has a 99 bmw 740i, since I bought my GT (last summer) he's been making fun on my car all the time, he said that his bmw would humilliate me because he could easily beat a 99 corvette, he also says that american cars are POSs (he is not american). This guy is 23 years old (I am24) and he is so full of **** he is the tipical rich kid.... I was kind of worried because his car has a V8 DOHC 32v with 282hp. Last night we had the chance to race.. we got up to a red light next to each other, I didnt launch my car I just went from idle and when I reached like 30mph I already had like 1/2 car on him and I was spinning wheels then the green light on the dash board came on(forgot to turn the damn TC off[:@])when I shifted into 2nd and reached 60mph I had almost 2 cars and I was still pulling. We stoped to talk and he was very upset, he said that he would kill me from a roll, so we got into the higway I was in 2nd gear going 40mph and I told him just go and I will follow you.. he just had no chance I passed him and put like 2 cars on him in 3rd gear at redline, then he got really crazy and did a ricers flyby me at maybe 120-140mph.. I got really scared and told him that it was enough.. He just called me today and he said that I cheated because we where supposed to go all the way up to 150mph, he also said that he forgot to take the emergency brake off and that if why he lost..... some people just dont know how to lose....

LOL.

If he left his emergency brake on, his car would of steered so poorly it would of been the first thing to come into his mind during the race. Also, if he thinks leaving his emergency brake on would of made that much of a difference, his car would of REEKED of burning brakes.

Tell this rich guy to stuff it up his ***.

Thats a difficult call. I'm not positive on the 7 series, but when they put that engine in the 6-Speed 540IL it was unreal. Those things are really fast.

This guy is unbelievable.. he asked me to race again on sunday but he took his spare tire + all the stuff in his trunk out, I had my GirlFriend in my car (100lbs)and we raced again and at the stop light I smoked him again... then we did a roll from 50 to 100 and I only put 1~2 cars on him(that car is damn powerful) but then he started to do crazy **** and so I let him go.. his pride was so DAMN hurt.. even my GF who hates when I race told me to get him again when we got to the parking lot he said: well at least I enjoy nice leather and the powerful sound system my $80.000 car has... The sad thing is that his daddy bought him that car used with 120.000miles for $14k on ebay...[:-]
