Time for a new car I guess

I was headed home "from Mexico" yesterday and came across a 3 series with no badges. Yeah, I know, you can tell where this is going if I saw the back of the car. We ran from a dig at a light and I am holding my own. I'm out about a half a car and holding on to it until suddenly he walked around me like I was tied to a stump. I had to turn off so I never got to talk to the guy but he had to have a 100 shot or something.

Ouch, never fun to get smoked. But, no matter how fast you are, there is always someone even faster out there.

Wow, I wonder if it was a 335. I've seen some of those around that are pretty fast and easily modded.

it could be that he was running jb4 and e85, which would give him 400hp+ easily. I've seen few 335 here in town with Jb4, intake, exhaust, e85 make over 450hp on stock turbos.
