hanged with a z3?

hm this was about a month ago. i was coming home at around 1130pm in a all-too-familiar road not too far from my house. i waited at this light for what seemed like forever because there were no cars at all. then i see a few cars pull up, and a car next to me. i didnt notice anything at first because i was singing =P then it turned green and as usual i stepped on it pretty hard. then i heard growling next to me, and this car is right next to me. then he steps on a bit harder, then i step on it more. then as soon as i realized it, it became a race from about 10mph roll. we were neck to neck until about 55mph, then he started to pull. by 60, he had a hood on me, thats when i saw it was a Z3. i gave up at around 65, when he pulled about half car on me. y bother trying anymore when u've already lost? so after that i followed him a bit and kept wondering how that z3 could barely beat my auto ex? haha. i guess some "fast" cars aren't all they seem. (hint hint inline-4 auto Z3s)

oh and just yesterday, i pulled behind this black IS300 going about 25mph on a 40mph street. i was tired and wanted to go home. so i signaled to pass on the right. as soon as i got in the right lane he floored it and pulled about 2 cars. i was like wtF? i wasn't racing him. some people just have too much ego. so i just went home..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

BMW built a 1.9L Z3 in the first couple years of production that did 0-60 in like 9 seconds or something. Maybe not THAT bad but it was pretty close. Thats a possibility.

i believe the Z3's came in a 1.9 as 5SpeedStallion mentioned, but also a 2.3 inline 6 (i think) and a 3.0 inline 6...i doubt it was the 2.3 or a 3.0 but ya never know. not too shabby on your part[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]
