C32 Vs Z4

I was driving back from Napa yesterday when a BMW Z4 pulled right beside me, so I just mind my own biz when sudenlly he floors his car and takes off! so I said let see If can can play too, I step on the gas and we are doing 100 MPH then I said "bye" floored the C32 and boom hits 135 mph and he was way back. I shut down and bring the car back to normal driving, and he does a fly by me doing maybe 110 mph. I just smiled and he looked pissed.

My roomate has a 3.0 SMG Z4, and we've run quite a few times when my C32 was stock and with pulleys/chip. I have to say, it's a fast little car. I beat him without a problem, but that car really surprised me.. It keeps up on the top end pretty well. A lot better than most cars.

Plus I love the sounds of those I6's. I'll make a few videos when I get my car back of me running him stock and modified.

Nothing beats the sound of those bimmers I6s at full blast. Especially in a tunnel. a Z4 SMG will probably do a 1/4 in 14.3 14.5 at 93 or so. a 6 speed manual should do it in 14.1 14 flat. at closer to 96-98 almost.

I think you guys give a Z4 too much credit. I smoked one the other day in my clk430. He was a young guy that thought his car was fast so he cut me off (it was either silver or white, cant quite remember the color) and I had to show him what a merc V8 could do. You should have seen his face when he heard the eisenmann roar! LOL! I believe my brother also raced this guy in his M Coupe at a light. The Z4 revved his engine, and then he was a dot in the rear view.
