Default 335xi Kill

Me and my buddy were driving up to a bar (me in the G8 him in his 03 3.2CL S-type m6) and we pulled up to a light with him behind me and the 335 next to me...my buddy starts revving and i think the 335 thought it was me and he starts inchin out from the light...i move up and point foward and he acknowledges. we get the green and he launches the **** outa the bimmer and grabs a car length immediately as i only roll on it in first easy and then i went WOT when i hit 4k rpms...completely lost the top end of first to wheel spin and short shifted second and immediately killed his pull...hit third, chirped the tires, and pulled 3 cars before hitting like 95mph and shut down. i motioned him to pull into the bar behind us but he wasn't haven't it and just gave me a nice bimmer fly by haha. always nice to get an FI kill.

now the interesting part is we end up getting drunk and my buddy with the 03 CL-S thinks his car's fast and was willing to put 100$ on it. best 2 out of 3 races (1 dig giving him a length) a 40 roll and an 80 roll. since we were drunk and on top of that it was hailing, we obviously postponed the race. i'll try to get the rape on video.

i dont drink and drive i dont drink and drive i dont drink and drive

Probably has something to do with the fact you raced a turbo AWD BMW that out launched you by a car from the get go and somehow you managed to kill a low 13 sec car. Amazingly you did this by rolling into the throttle, short shifting second gear and all while putting 3 cars on it by the time you hit 95?

well lets see...my car traps 107 in the 1/4 at 13.0 with 3/4 tank of gas...he might have missed 3rd or 4th gear...or when he noticed he didn't walk away from me and i was steadily pulling he might have shut down mid 3rd? these are things i was looking to discuss. that plus the hilarity of my friend thinking his CL even stands a chance should provide some good humor.

and by rolling into the throttle i meant i didn't launch it from a brake stand cause it woulda been pointless in 23* weather in a rwd car.

getting drunk and going to race (bad weather stopped you) is very uncool.

But, i do really like your G8

107mph is hardly enough to pull 3 cars on a 335 by 95mph sorry....seen too many trap 104-106 stock.

wow...i didn't ****** drink and drive...get off it...all i meant was he got some beers in him and felt like talkin **** and put a 100$ on it...I DID NOT DRINK AND DRIVE. for ***** sake...

yeah i think he probly missed 3rd...this is my 3rd race against a 335 and the only one worth posting because of how big the difference was. and the fact that it was the xi.

if you take the weight off for 1/2 a tank, leaving 1/4 tank in, its a 12 second car with a tune only...thats why i posted the amount of gas on that run.


and the next person with a slower car than me that calls bullshit can ****** blow me.

I don't get it. Are you saying that running with 3/4 tank of gas would make you significantly slower or something? In that case you should have taken a **** before the race and driven without shoes. I have never heard someone bring up the amount of gas in their car when talking 1/4 mile runs .

well your dumb...gas weighs almost 7lbs a gallon at times...

would you race with 15 gallons @ 7lbs equalling 105 lbs (almost a whole tenth added to 1/4 time)

or 2 gallons at 14lbs.

next time you take your awesome rubicon to the strip throw in a couple of 50lb sand bags...i'm sure it wont matter.

nice kill.

did you guys read where he doesn't drink and drive?

for the bench racers:
Automobile Magazine (April 2008)
BMW 335xi 1/4-mile (sec @ mph): 13.7 @ 104

you guys know the xi weighs more, but takes off quicker than the 335i due to awd, right?

if the OP is pulling 13.0 1/4 mile times, this race sounds about right.

again... nice kill

4 wheel drive makes for good traction already. But thanks for the tip.
