its only a 330I, theyre not any faster than what your max would probly be in the 1/4. BMW is usually known for top end, so thats why he was creeping on you. high speed handling not drag racing cars.

he had a faster trap after the 1/8th, wouldnt that mean the max would only be gaining?

I think he means that the BMW would be gaining at a faster rate.
