Default Spanked a new M3 BMW

Once again, took off a little quick from a stop light, so an M3 had to get on it to pass but then let out. So I nailed it just to show off and passed by in my lane and let out.
Just up the street, same left turn lane as the C5 a couple of weeks ago, he turned and as soon as he got straight on the service road he nailed it and so did I. I was in the same lane but behind him. I reeled him in so fast as he busted a couple of gears I had to hit my brakes to keep from running over the top of his nice new BMW...pretty car though. BTW, no wave...*****.

Thanks, I got an M5 with my z car about a year or so ago too. They really mph in the quarter, but we only got to run to about 90. Sure was fun though!

Even better! It was in the truck and it ran real good, just no match for the turbo.

The truck is capable of low 12s and possible a high 11.

From what I've heard, everyone at higher altitude is able to get most of their performance back by just cranking up the boost to compensate for less oxygen. The fun part is, I would still be faster than the B'mr regardless of where it was. FWIW, I am still running what I was with the 5.3...8lbs. My new motor was built for 15lbs. on pump gas so 14 on meth sounds like a winner to me too! BTW, very good looking truck you have. What kind of wheels?

The company that make the wheels is called fortys. And they are 24s. next year im going smaller to 22s so i can drop it 2 inchs. boost is so fun. the thing that bites about living in montana is the lack of tuners around here. i had a local guy tune the truck the first time and it ended up detonating and cracking #7 piston so the motor is new. and nelson tuned the ecm i think it will do alot better next year.
