Default me vs 135i

Heading down Goldenwest towards PCH there was a brand spanking new 135i coming up on my right side and as he passed up i saw that he had no plates so it was a new 09 model. He slowed down to talk *yay* i talked to him for a second to see how many miles he had on it. he told me had 5k miles so it was broken in nicely and he wanted to go for a quickie so i followed he made the right turn onto pch i was about 3-4 cars behind him in the left lane (he was in right lane) i went to catch up to line up and i guess he hit it...even tho i was so far behind him trying to line it up but it didn't matter cuz i caught up to him at the end of 3rd gear. shifted into 4th got a car length ahead then shut down b4 i hit 120mph.

That car will turn a 13.4-13.5 sec quarter mile so not to shabby. They are quicker than a n/a S. Considering your pushing 380whp, it is no wonder you killed him. You are likely at 12.5 sec quarter.

Nice kill though...make a vid will ya. I am probably going the SOS supercharger route at 10psi so I would love to see an acceleration video of your car.

fixed


keep in mind the OP is FAR from stock - he's making 160+/- whp more than a stock S2k, which goes a long way in a car that only weighs approx. 2800-lbs. race a stock S2k against a stock 135i, and the 135i will seem very powerful/very fast (as pointless as such a race would be anyways).
