Default my 05 crew cab vs. 01 bmw 540i

my buddies car has the 4.4 v8, full exhaust, cold air, custom tuned by his company Bim Works, and converted it to manual trans. we ran from a dig on the way to the track, i shut down at 100mph. sorry about the crappy vid, i told my girl, next time point at his car haha. i was racing him with my 275/60/20's, and 17's and tire and jack in the bed.

Wait, the truck shut down at 100mph, or you shut the race down at 100?

yeah his fastest time at the track was 14.6 at 96 and mine was 14.20 at 99.75, made sense, when we street raced i had a passenger, taller tires on the rear and rims and tires in the bed, so it was a closer race on the street.
