just raced a 325
wow. that was so much fun. we were weaving through traffic at about 110. at those speeds the my car pulled better than his. though i do wish the suspension was stiffer. he could weave much better than i could. i need springs.

not to disagree with the rest of you, but if you notice the time he posted it was almost 3 in the morning, i think his interpretation of traffic is 3 or 4 cars on the road. I do agree he should keep it on the track but i seriously doubt that at that time on a Sunday there was "TRAFFIC"

I think it's perfectly safe and fun to drive LA freeways at 110mph. I did it on my bike all the time and I didn't have the comfort of seat belts, crumple zones and 10 airbags.
Go get them Vince, show them what MB drivers are made of. All you need is a little tuning and you can take on the big boys!

110 MPH is very safe if you drive carefully.
Just make sure you leave room for the error of OTHER drivers if you drive at that speed. There are always idiots on the highway that don't realize how fast you are approching them. Be prepared to stop when they cut in front of you going 50 MPH.

When I think of traffic, I envision my commute to and from work. Anyone that's driven in MA (Buellwinkle) will know what that's like...

damn, i didn't expect so many negative comments. LA at night is great for racing. Although i agree, there could have been less traffic on the road, it was nothing like rush hour. traffic was moving at about 80 with plenty of gaps. But then again how many of you guys out there have driven in LA at night. um 4-5 lanes is a whole lot of room. especially on sunday night at 12. maybe i shouldn't tell you guys what its like at 3 am. thats when you get to go 130.

hm...
I think everyone here in this forums is adult enought to know if their actions are right or wrong, and if they are dangerous or not...
By the way, I have killed a few bimmers too, I raced a 3.25 from a light, pretty close race I won by half a car, it was from 0 to 65 or 70 mph...
Another kill was last friday night in the highway killed another 3.25 from 70 mph to 115 mph...

U guys are lucky. I never get to KILL bimmers. Only IS300's. Maybe one day, ill get my chance. Living in LA...there is plenty of room to race at night. I usually seem to be rev'd on on the 605 south. The 60 going west is pretty much unpopulated, but there's alot of CHP's crusin there. Im more worried about cops then other drivers. When i use to drive my Supra, i use to go up to 130 and upcoming cars would be right there within seconds. Though it is dangerous, Im pretty sure we are smart enough to know when enough is enough.

I've got to drop kudos to vince...
question though, E36 or E46 325...?
the E36 cars are pretty sprightly, I'd be surprised if you pulled one at that speed. either way, nice job and be careful, we'd hate to loose a member.

i forgot to mention that during the day Rowland Heights is crowded on the street and the weekend is even worse. but it will start to clear up around 10 pm or so. beware of cops though
BTW i'm only around during the weekend. during the weekdays i'm at UCR studing my butt off
