Ran into one of these tonight: 2008 BMW 535xi
He still had his dealer plates too (how I was able to determine year). I was doing about 65 when he decided to blow by me & I couldn't catch up, I was already in 6th when he did.
What cars do I truly have to worry about while stock? Besides the Z06s, etc.

Vehicles I would not race while stock: Besides the obviouse I would say stay away from C5+ Vette, LS3 Camaro, new 5.0 Mustangs, 2003-2004 Cobras, anything that wants to race that has a turbo (diesel trucks, 335i, 135i etc...if they are tuned you are toast), any cammed LS car, IS-F, e92 M3, C63, RS4...the list goes on. Just be sure you know what it is before you oblige him. There are some nasty turbo Civics in DFW...they will EMBARRASS you.

I like that "cts-v" luck. Me and a friend of mine bought ours at about the same time. About a week after he got his, his balancer came off the crank. Then about month went by, and he backed into a pole. Two weeks after purchasing mine the radiator started leaking pretty bad. A few months went by and a women ran into me in the parking lot of hooters. We just called it the curse of the "v".
