Default Called out by a BMW 325i

This girl in my english class (hot), was talking to me about cars and all and then she told me how she drives a BMW 320i. I said that's cool, i drive a GTA, then i went on to explain to her what it was... and this and that.

So at the end of class she's gave me her number and i gave her mine and then she's like i wanna race you! Im like okay we'll do it sometime this weekend. She gave me a ride to the subway since its too far and too much gas to take the car to school. Her car is all stock, automatic/tiptronic. I have no clue about these cars and I DO NOT want to be embarrassed to a girl i wanna go out with. What is my chance with this?

I think you should win, if not just say "Yeah you beat me, and by the way your hot!"

I almost forgot, she prefers racing on the highway rather from a dig which is not exactly my strong point

I don't think there's a 320i but there's a 325i for 2001:

Performance
Base Number of Cylinders: 6 Base Engine Size: 2.5 liters
Base Engine Type: Inline 6 Horsepower: 184 hp
Max Horsepower: 6000 rpm Torque: 175 ft-lbs.
Max Torque: 3500 rpm Drive Type: RWD

your right, 01 only had 325's and 330's. Plus M3. Could be tough, but I have confidence in the F-Body.

her asking you to race is probably her way of asking you out without fear of being rejected ... If you win, don't beat her too bad, and if you lose - dont act too upset over it.

Make the read- you're in the drivers seat either way

Good luck!

Lose on purpose, and ask her to show you her techniques for working the stick afterwards...

And hope she doesnt become uninterested in you because you lost to a girl

Although, you could then buy her one of those cool LS1Tech girl t-shirts that read "You got beat by a girl!"
