My last race was quite some time ago. It involved a modified Mustang GT(headers, pulleys, TB, and intake). I was on my way to the gym and this Mustang was cruising right beside me. We both stopped at a light and he proceeded to rev his engine. I looked over and gave him a grin, put my baby into first gear and sports mode. The light turns green and we both gun it. I was shifting perfectly in all gears and had him by over one car length. We both pulled onto an empty street and chatted for a bit and he wanted to run again. On the second race I allowed him to say go and he made the first launch. I panicked and made a bad shift out of first gear, but slowly reeled him in with every shift. We reached about 80mph and stayed pretty even. Eventually we had to shut down due to an oncoming intersection. After that race he wanted to go again, but I didn't want to push my luck so I declined the offer. We gave one another a wave and went on our merry ways.
In addition to that, I also had my brother aboard which made it quite embarrassing. The thing is once those Stangs get above third gear they are pretty fast.

Lol, awesome story. You should have had an easier time (I have taken a Mustang GT on one occasion with my Coupe) but your opponent was clearly pretty well-modded and a good driver.
I had a run-in with a Discovery today (been using the ML500 until my baby gets fixed). I was on a highway on-ramp (straight line, one lane, merges leftwards into the right lane) and a new Discovery was behind me. I was just passively merging, there were no cars behind so I was clear to merge and I was in no hurry but this Disco jumped into the lane before me and PUNCHED it. He wanted to beat me before I could merge, basically...what a silly douchebag. I put the pedal to the metal, the 5.0L V8 dropped down a gear and roared in all its fury, and I just walked away from this guy like nobody's business - my acceleration started from 20 and I took it up to 70 (race was over pretty much as soon as it started) then I brought the beast back down to 62 (50 zone) and the Discovery did a ricer flyby.
Now that I'm using the ML, I'm just hunting for SUV's but the competition is MAD stiff. Back in the day, when I had the ML430, the only SUV I had to worry about was a V8 Grand Cherokee. Now I've got the FX35/45, X5 4.4i, X5 4.6is, X5 4.8is, Cayenne S, Cayenne turbo, G55 AMG, up my ass.![[bigcry]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_bigcry.gif "Big Cry [bigcry]")
Time for an upgrade.

With your insurance company, maybe?
Like the character your G35 has now?? (Glad no one was hurt.)
While we're at it, let's start a thread about how cool it is driving drunk.
No, I don't condone street racing and I don't think this board should either. Just last weekend in my area 5 teenagers were killed (3 separate, unrelated incidents) while street racing. I've had friends who met a similar fate. Find a track and do it right, but don't put my life at risk or anyone else's just because you have a hard-on for your car.
Go ahead and flame me. You'll just look stupid.

I'm not a fan of street racing myself - I'd rather do it at in the controlled environment at the track where it is safer and more fair. However, my favorite race was on a backcountry road with a really good buddy of mine. This is a deserted road, but we had several people watch the end of the road for cars anyways just to make sure there weren't any problems.
My buddy has a 1994 Mustang Cobra 5-speed with 3.73:1 limited slip rear end, headers with custom X-pipe, K&N cold air intake kit, Centerforce Dual friction clutch, and aluminum driveshaft. He has it sprayed now, but this race was before he had that. His car is damn fast.
This was long before the bimmer, so I was racing him in my Camaro - 5.7 liter, 3 speed automatic with 2.73:1 non-limited slip rear. Some more displacement over his 302, but with a bad transmission disadvantage and a severe rear gear handicap. I had full length headers and dual 2.5" exhaust with H-pipe, 650cfm carb, Edelbrock performer intake, CompCams cam, K&N filter, and some other little odds and ends.
We lined up and were flagged off by a buddy. My car transmission is fairly heavily modified and has a manual/automatic valvebody that basically overrides the shift points manually when you enter the manual mode (kinda like the steptronic, but it won't shift automatically if you try to overrev it). I had the left foot on the brake, first gear selected, and had the engine revved to about 2000 rpm - the best launch RPM for my car since it's right at the peak of the fat torque curve. When the flag dropped, I let off the brake and feathered on the throttle to avoid making the rear tires go up in a cloud of smoke. My buddy had launched hard and was accelerating fast. Once I was assured I had decent traction, I put the hammer down. I stayed with him - the front of my car about at the back of his door - through first gear. I shifted to second at 5500 rpm, tires squeal and regain traction, and she hunkers down. By now, my buddy is in third gear, but second is my car's sweet spot - she pulls hard and fast all the way to 5500, where I shift into third. Now, I'm pulling my buddy by close to a fender. We continue on accelerating on up to about 100 before we shut 'em down. I ended up beating my buddy by about a half a car length.
I consider that to be quite an accomplishment and am still proud of how my baby performed. His car is damn fast, and he's a great driver. Shortly after this, he put a nitrous fogger system on the car, and he always bugged me to race him after that. I don't do nitrous - it's against my moral code.

Yes, you really proved a point. The truth is, dude, I don't have to justify SHIT to you. You're not in the car with me every day so you really can't say anything. And like I said before, if you don't condone it, I don't care and I don't care for your opinion. But there are many members on this forum who enjoy reading kill stories (including myself) and I thought it would be a nice addition to the forum.
Oh and btw, just by driving an X5, you're endangering my life. You can't see any low objects behind you (when backing up), your vehicle is FAR more likely to flip over uncontrollably before mine, and you're probably one of the douchebags who drive and talk on the cell phone at the same time.
What would you rather have? Me speeding down the road ONCE IN A WHILE paying full attention, or an asshole like you who pays more attention to his cell phone than what's going on on the road.

I like elussive driving except when he hops curbs and pulls out in front of old women 
I dont really race anyone, but my friend in his 5.0 foxbody mustang with a few mods followed me on this back road, after we both knew the route pretty well we went back again and took off.
First few straightaways he had me, but when it became really twisty, i could keep the bmw at a sweet rpm range of about 3400 and above, which REALLY gave me the upper hand on a lot of those roads. Once we hit a downhill section, I was in 4th, and really really took off. Hit about 115 going back up this hill and totally lost him. we stopped and i asked why he didn't push it down the hill, but he said he was. He said he can't believe how well the bmw runs, and how it handles on those back roads.
There is this one 10mph turn that is VERY sweet... its a 180 degree turn, with about a 10 degree downslope. I always pop the end out in 2nd gear but it comes right back in... He lost a LOT of speed on that curve. That's what seriously killed him.

Nope. Just to your mommy and daddy when you wreck the car.
Thank God.
Define "kill"
Haven't wrecked a car in 30 years, dude. What's your record?
Have we met? I'm not sure what a douchebag is, but if it's someone that pisses off people who threaten the lives of others I'll wear the title proudly. But I don't talk on the phone and drive at the same time.
It's not about you, my friend. It's about others who don't see you coming at 5x the speed limit. As for paying full attention, show me you can make a left-hand turn without totaling your car in a five-year period and I'll spot you one little sprint down a public road. Deal?
Thank God.

Wow, you're real witty. I've never wrecked a car, either. This was actually my first traffic accident and like I said you can't hold it against me, since it was purely an accident (not a result of doing anything ridiculous).
I'm sorry that your parents never got you a car, but my grandparents got their kids (my parents) cars and my parents got me a car and I will get my kids a car. That is our system and if you don't like it, that's cool, but don't hate. You probably drove some gross piece of shit when you were a kid and you're just venting, that's cool.
If you think I do 5x the speed limit, you simply don't have a brain.
Btw, who ever said street racing had to risk other people's lives? If there's nobody else on the road, there's nobody to harm, is there?
In the end, you're basically just stereotyping and picking on me without any actual evidence while using the accident against me. There is a post of a member of this forum who got into an accident while riding shotgun in his friend's X5, while making a left-hand turn....it can happen to anyone.
What I'm trying to say is, give it a rest. Your attempts are completely ruining the nature of this post, are completely off-topic, and are simply futile. Go whine on another forum fagbag...I'm not here to take shit from some faggot who "doesn't condone street racing."

Amazing response....wow...I'm just too stumped. Let me just stop now....let me just completely stop posting on this forum.
You know, you really do have to come to the conclusion that you were wrong first and now you're just being an asshole over what could have potentially been absolutely nothing. Unfortunate for you....I was expecting a more civil person, but I was wrong.

And I was expecting a forum for and about BMW owners. But I guess I was wrong. Guess it's just about testosterone and the effect it has on pre-pubescent males and umm. . . what do you call it? . . . street racing. Yeah, that's it. Good stuff. Keep at it. Let 'er rip! Don't let me stop ya, just keep it in New Jersey.
Again, you don't own a BMW?
