It was kind of unfair to begin with for the other guy coz I had a good running start. ( I was actually after this 96 Carrera 4 but the ol e34 wanted to try and follow us) Come to think of it he's out muscling me by about 80 horses so he should be able to keep up. So this is an uphill run to make it interesting with a lot of turns so power doesn't mean everything, but I don't know if he was taking it easy on me because with my Pirelli's and the big ol' Schnitzers it really helped me outhandle the old e34. Also I had the car in 3rd gear redlining for almost half a minute. Not a good idea. But then again we're running 99 octane over here so the car had the extra oomph. However this was not one of those kill stories where I was trying to teach him a lesson or anything. It was an intersting run though. Kind of gave him the thumbs up afterwards. Damn I want to buy one of those cars really badly.
