Killed a 323ci going uphill.
I was on the 73 south tollroad in Irvine. I was going uphill (pretty steep slope) at about 50mph when a BMW 323ci pass by me at about 60 and still accelerating fast. After he passed me I drop to 3rd and floored it. About 4 - 5 seconds later I passed him at 90 and his car just seem to stop acceleration after 85-90 so I flew by him easy. I reached 110 when I almost got to the top of the hill and I slowed down to 80 until he caught up with me and then he flew by me downhill because I had to get off the next exit.

not sure if that constitutes as a kill or not since it may have just been another unsuspecting driver going along with their business at 60mph...
but nice to know that you got to the top before he/she did

Did you read my post correctly. He went from 60 to 90mph in about 4 seconds going up a steep hill on a 323ci. He would have to floor that sucker in order to do that. His car probably ran out of torque at 90mph to accelerate any faster up the hill.
