First Race EVER
I'm heading home and there's a 330i in front of me. We turn onto an empty stretch of 4-lane, he's in front of me and he starts to pull away. I pass him and pull up to the red light and he still has given no indication of wanting to play. Well, the light turns and after about 1 second we both go. Even though I still suck at this, I had him by 1/2 a car the whole way to 80 then pulled back due to the upcoming light. Gotta work on those shifts. I had a HUGE grin on my face. The crappy part was no neighbors were home to tell about it! Telling the wife is not a smart option

Gee....how can a car with 255hp and possibly more than the rated 246ft-lbs of torque beat a lesser powered BMW? Nawh....the BMW wasn't trying.

If you have a 255hp 246tq BMW that is Auto and weighs 3500lbs (estimate) compared to a Max that has 190hp 205tq and is stick and weighs 3100 then that's a close match.
Autos have more driveline losses than sticks, by about 10%
ISTR RWD has more driveline losses (that 90deg turn in the rear diff has more drag than the chain-drive), also by about 5-10% as I recall.
Still, it's a close race. If the BM was stick the driver sucks.
