Well is he torque braking at launch and manually shifting the auto? Are you sure he doesn’t have a single mod?

I know its not fair, but those inline BMW 6's run very well in the upper RPMs

BMW Is Faster Because ...

Much Much Better Auto Transmission!

NISSAN AUTO

Their Horse Power is Slighty UNDER RATED ... I read somewhere that BMW purposly States their Horses LOWER than it Actually is!

Oh yeah ... RWD too!


The New 330CI runs 0-60 5.3 sec, stick ...

And the DAMN thing has 225 Horses ONLY ...

Plus its only 3.0 Litre!!!
