By no means am I trying to defend the BMW. This is not what I am trying to advocate to you guys! What my version of the video is, a Grand Touring car weighing in at 2 tons, needs not an extra passenger when already being handicaped. Take it as you will, I say let the camara man be in the Vette next time

Wont matter...and how is it handicapped? weight? Thats BMW's fault for making it so heavy...and if your going to play ricer games then the vette is handicapped because it has 2 less cylinders...

This is the answer you'll probably get. You need no more evidence than a sig to prove you have a fast car on the internet. No dyno charts, no time slips and no pics...

In that case I have a Bugatti Veyron that wasn't quite fast enough so I jacked the boost up to 80 PSI and now it does the quarter in 4.02 seconds at 390 MPH (traction was a problem

For any that missed it - YES I'm from England. And YES I have a LS1.
A bit off topic.
I'd hate to have to pay what you do for gas over there. I lived in Germany for 9 years and luckily I could get gas on base. Its ridiculous what Europeans have to pay to drive their cars. Insurance isn't much better. We Americans are spoiled when it comes to those items.

I wish I still had my camaro as my buddy has a 350z meeting again this weekend and Id love tog o there and just make a bunch of vids whooping on bolt on 350z's and the 350z with the twin turbo kit that pushes like 5 psi...like I dont get his posts, I dont mind seeing two fast cars race and if the faster car happens to be a 350z, mr2, evo, etc then props to them, but he loves just posting vids of any lsx car getting beat or having a close race and saying "lsx" cars arent that fast, torque doesnt matter, weight doesnt matter, you have an advantage you have 2 more cyliners, imports handel better than all domestics, chevys suck, roll racing is real racing, the world is flat, gravity doesnt exist, etc...

And some choice quotes from the forum you posted:

How about repeating it with only 1 person in M6 and two in Z06?

And of course, the Z06 starting in 2nd gear thing was brought up by people who also scanned the forum.
