So last night my friend and I were driving around where I live. We had the top down cause it was a nice night. My friend is very impressed with my 325 now that I have an intake and Conforti chip so I figured that I would push my car a little.

So we pull up to a stop light right next to a "riced" out Scion Tc. As soon as I get next to him, his friend rolls down the window and says that my car sucks, and that he will show me "Scion power when its tuned right". I laughed and so did my friend and I just shook my head thinking he was just joking. The light turned green and we both took off slow. Then he punched it and got in front by about a half a car, then I decided to hit the gas and shift to second. I kept it in second and passed him. I went through 2nd till about 60, when I shifted to 3rd and by that time I was about a car and a half in front when we shut down. When we got to the next light the guy didn't even roll down his window.

We drove around for a little while longer until we came up on a late 90's Z28 Camaro with obvious mods. My friend told me to race him but I knew he would kill me since he has way too much more power under his hood. But I decided to do it anyways.

I got behind him to get around a couple cars in the lane next to him and he punched it. I was in 3rd and so I punched it too. He pulled on me a little bit but not nearly as much as I thought he would. We go to a light and I was able to get next to him. He rolled down his window and he told me I had a nice car and that his car was heavly moded. I told him that I knew he would kill me in a straight line and he agreed but said that I would kill him in the twisties.

The light turned green and we slowly rolled off the line to make it more fair for me. At about 10 mph we both took off. I was dead even with him through 1st gear and half way through 2nd, then he started to pull from me about a half a car. I then shifted to 3rd at about 60mph and he was still in 2nd. He shifted to 3rd and was about 2 car lengths ahead when we shut down.

We go to the next light and he said that I did a good job keeping up seeing how I have a lot less power. He gave me a thumbs up and took off. I was happy I did as well as I did with him!

It's good to get a good straight forward kill story in here from time to time. Sounds like some good old cruisin fun. Nice kill and an honorable death even though I would have guessed the Camero would have pulled more....maybe he only pushed it hard enough to keep a reasonable distance ahead. Either way sounds like a good night.

I figured he would pull on me harder than he did but he was probably just toying with me. Im still happy with what I have!

I in a way downgraded but I'm still overjoyed to have my 328. It may have less horses and less torque but it has 2 more doors for friends and better gas mileage for long trips. It's exactly what I was looking for when I decided to sell my T/A and over all it's more practical. OH and it's a BMW

I probably would have bought a 328 if I were to have done it again. I love my 325 though. I had an 87' 325is for my first car and sold it to help pay for this.

The Scion guy did't put the window down for a reason! lol

Nice to race a guy that's cool.

My buddy in my old 86GT hit the hangout for the ricers a while back. Some kid in a modded DSM gave him a bunch of crap about how his $hitbox could take him. The GT had exhaust/intake, stock automatic, stock wheels, etc. Kid did not see the nitrous solenoids. They went from a dig and a roll, the GT just wasted him both times. The kid got all buthurt and turned off, to not be seen again.

It is fun to win!
