INFERNY

One of my relatives bought a brand new 2015 BMW 328i xDrive (it has 240 HP/ 255 TQ) a little while before I bought my '01 Z28. So we figured, why not have a run to see how these two do. So a little background info: when it comes to cars, my family does NOT like domestics. Like 80% of people in my area, they prefer imports such as BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, Honda...etc. So I'm the only one with a domestic in my entire family. With that being said, my relative didn't see the Z28 as a threat. To him it was just another ordinary 15 year old car with a decent paintjob that happened to be loud.

The race started out from a 20 roll and he honked off on it. On the 3rd honk, my car suffered from wheelspin so he got the advantage. However by 40 MPH I managed to get ahead by a car length. By ~55 MPH the gap was at 2 car lengths and by 80+ MPH it was more than a bus length.

Needless to say, he is a fan of Camaros now lol

Great kill op. Yeah I know exactly where you are coming from, my ex s.o when we met had a 2011 bmw 52ii and a 2014 accord exl (yuck to both). Had zero interest in domestic or performance cars, after a few months and rides in my V wagon, and C6Z that had all changed.

Btw is the new 328 a turbo 4 cyl?

New 328s are a turbo 2 liter I believe. I like the new turbo 2's over the old Na motors. Nice and peppy

Nice! LS1 still kicking some azz.
Good job, Op and way to represent.

Yeah the new 328is have the 2.0L inline 4 with a single turbo! I forgot to mention, but I am sure xDrive variant has AWD too! The cool thing about the new 328i is that they make their max torque really early at around 1750-1800 RPMs.

It ain't over yet though! I have a couple more relatives with fast imports as well! 2015 Lexus RC350 F Sport and 2014 Porsche Cayman (981) are next on the list....if they are willing to race

I beat a 335xi from a dig when I was only catback/lid. Gotta watch out for the turbo, AWD BMW's. ******* are quick.
