Beat a BMW Z4 last night...

BTW, let me claify something, in my truck (03 Ram Hemi)

He was talking all this crap to me saying Hemi's aren't anything, blah blah blah. So I told him I'd run him and I took him off the line, got him in 1st, took him by a car length in 2nd, and he totally missed 3rd (twice), it sounded like DEATH, it was like KRRRRRRRRRTTTTT. I eventually just got off the street and jumped on the freeway to go home. BMW Z4's arent that fast either, my friend took him in his stock z28 camaro ('02 auto)

BMW Z4s arnt designed for 0-60 races, get it in the corners and see whos fast then. Other then that, Shame on the BMW driver for trying to drag race and Tourchuring their BMW.

Good run though, make that BMW driver learn that his car was never ment to do Drag racing.

well since anything with a HEMI can smoke a Super Comp Dragster, i don't think the BMW even stood a chance.

A friend of mine is thinking about buying the Hemi Truck, but he can't decide to get it, or to get the Chevy SS. I told him to go with the SS, but we'll see.

what does racing the 850 V12 (which I believe they stopped making and can now only get the 8 series in the 840 which in a V8 correct me if I'm wrong) have to do with anything? Thats like me saying..."you think my civic is slow? well race an NSX ."
