racing last night
Driving home last night i came up on 2 brand new bmw 530i's paper tags on both one black one silver, and a black v-8 lincoln LS . well the light turns green on new york ave in NE D.C. headed towards md beltway , my 5th gen 5spd se and the lincoln pulled real hard ahead of the 2 bmw's and it becomes a race between just me and the lincoln, everytime i reached 4500-5000 rpms i would pull slightly ahead of him until i shifted, was a good race but around 110-125 i would slowly walk away from him, by now the bmw's were way behind and im happy i beat a domestic v-8. didnt know they were so fast and the bmw's were so slow.

i love those LS's they are so pimp, but they have to be black
i dont think those 540's were trying, maybe for the first couple gears but thats it, they have a decent amount of power and should have hung with you guys fairly easy. next time you line with a bmw just make sure you dont see the fearful M logo.

2. newer Mark 8? Where did this come into the picture? They have not been made since '98. He spoke of the LS.

I think the 530s could give the '00/'01 Max some trouble. The '02/'03 could beat the 530s. Not that I've ever raced them...just a logical estimate...
a markVIII is nothing. my dad has a 2000 continental with the same 4.6 275 hp v8 and both cars weigh in at close to 2 tons. my car is father than his due to weight, and how the automatics are geared for comfort and not performance.
