ALPINA B7 VS C32

At first I was intimidated, this guy was tailing me forever...I didn't bite 'coz there was some traffic. anyway, traffic started to get less then he cut me off pretty close so my high school mentality kicked in!!! I followed him into every single pocket he could find through traffic. we were sowing up the Long Island Expressway like mad using merging lanes to get through...and when two lanes opened up, I went left he went right...to my surprise I caught up slowly and eventualy passed him. we were going about 135-140mph....I said to myself... REALLY??? i wonder if he let go or somethin' aren't alpinas supposed to be up there considering their price tag? anyway, made me feel good about my bone stock 03 c32....she's so good to me thought you guys might enjoy another kill story...or is it?

Racing in traffic is just not the best idea. Well at least you admit you still have a high school mentality.

If you want to get down to brass tacks street racing at all is not a good idea - regardless of the amount of traffic.

Regardless....nice kill. I think the B7's are pretty heavy. Luxo express. ;-)

Great Run man but be careful like everyone else was saying. Just imagine someone jumping in front of you at 135-140 mph while racing that is definitely not cool. But none the less glad you made a great kill .

You're not near stock with those mods. I've been hunting for a B7 to put on my kill list, but on both occasions they made it look like they were too good for racing. Those cars are pigs and the HP they have over us is insignificant when taking into consideration the Alpina's weight and aerodynamics.

This is what happens when you race on the streets. Please take that sh*t to the track before someone gets hurt.

Yeah it was the throttle actuator. I got a new mystery to solve; car won't start sometimes and randomly dies while I'm driving. These C32's are just full of surprises
