Little race last night.. me, 2001 BMW 328i 5-spd and a 95 300zx 5-spd non turbo..

I was at the Envious Rides car show on rt 23 (near kinnelon high school) that occurs every thursday night and I drove in with a couple honduh's and the 300ZX that was in the race..

When we left the show we made the turn around to come back up 23 to kinnelon ave and the 3 of us got caught at a light. First the 300zx rev'd then the bmw 328 did (i saw it at the show so i knew it was 5-spd with only an intake i think), so i sat and waited for the green..

Surprisingly when we took off the BMW and I were neck and neck with the 300Z about 1/2 a car length behind, at the top of my 2nd gear I was a car length on both cars and at around 100 I was a car and 1/2 ahead and still pulling.

I WAS IMPRESSED, and also figured they were both just bad 5-speed drivers, but even so, I was pleased that my car kept up with all it's weight and automatic glory.

Nice kills. Could you tell if the 300z was modded or not?

it's my friend's girlfriend's car.. he is driving it while his car is in the shop... it has intake and exhausts as far as engine mods, but other then that.. body kit, rims, silver metallic paint.. not a bad looking car. it also has a police siren and strobes and headlight flashers.. that was fun on the ride home.

Nice kills the worst part is that they started it first and you ended it
