Message	Don't get me wrong, I would probably have done the same thing if I was in the car myself. But why open your racing story with the "I don't condone street racing" qualifier? -John P PS- Maybe that new Nismo ground net would give you the HP edge you needed to win! :-) PPS- My auto body guy has a black 540 6-speed. Even stock, they are pretty quick. Maybe this one was Dinan'ed or something. :I don't condone street racing, it's stupid and dangerous. :Okay, so I'm on the highway and this Beemer gets on my ass at about 1 1/2 car lengths, when he gets an opening to pass I wait until he's even with me in the left lane, then I dropped down to third and punched it. :We stayed dead even until I felt the triple digit speeds were getting excessive and backed off. So in his mind, I guess he won cause he was willing to go faster in traffic than I. That part I really don't care about. :What I want to know, does that sound about right that a BMW 540i sedan should pull dead even from a roll-on with a Stage III+ TT?
