Imagine what he could have done with a good launch....

Russ....you seriously have an excuse for EVERYTHING.....don't you?
loose MAF, weight no factor...riiight (that's why a 740iL won't keep up with a 540i from a roll right?), bad track conditions....the list goes on and on...you just can't lose can you....remind me..how did that race with DaveB turn out????

Weight doesnt play a factor at higher speeds??? You gotta be kidding me. Try racing when u have 4 people in your car vs 1 person. I guarentee you fell a huge difference.

Russ you truely dont know what you are talking about. From a roll wight DOES play a factor. Power to weight ratio and Aerodynamics play a critical role in racing at higher speeds. You didnt answer why a 540i is faster up top than a 740i. Guess what??? They have the same engine, same HP and Torque, similar aerodynamic properties, and the same transmission/gearing. The BIG difference is the 740 weighs 400 lbs more.

DaveB had tons of mods, I was completely stock. I ran him off the line 2-3 times, and took him by 1 car or so each time. On the highway he took me and stedily pulled. After the filter though on my car, I believe I would be even with him, because I picked up alot of MPH from just the filter.

You've got to be kidding me...the ONLY reason you took him off the line in the first place was because of his excessive wheel spin....that's just the story I heard...there's NO WAY just your little wimpy intake will make you run even with a car the steadily pulls on you before the intake.

Quoting Russ on different occasions:
"My filter was crooked."
"My MAF was messed up."
"My O2 sensor must have gone out."
"I had a lot of stereo equipment in my trunk from a party."
"I had a full tank of gas."
"I ate too much Mexican food." (ok, so I made that one up)

Well it makes sense that a 5th gen will beat a 4th gen.
Now if Russ starts whooping on 6-speed 3.5l Maximas...
