Here I am sitting at a light waiting for the green and a loud car pulls up beside me, and begins revving his engine(it was hard to see what as he stopped in my blindspot). After pulling off on the green I see its a BMW 230i(the 4 cyl. turbo version rated at 255 hp). Sounds like he was running a straight exhaust, lots of turbo noise & blow off valve noise. I got caught at the next light about a mile down the road and he cuts a couple of lanes -just so he can line up beside me. We are at the front of the line, 6 lane road, light traffic, 45 mph limit.
I know 4 cyl.'s can be heavily modified(I use to have an Evo) and that BMW usually under rates their hp output from the factory. So I said to myself "let's give this guy "Sport" mode-just in case. Me: Gen 3 Coyote with A10-all stock.
The light turns green, we start rolling and at 5 mph he hits it. So did I! He stayed with me until about 40, then he got 3 car lengths for his trouble. Next light he makes a right turn and disappears. Didn't even roll down his tinted window to say thanks. The last 2 BMW's(who also picked on me, got the same treatment)
Now I can appreciate his heavily modded BMW running well, but picking on a Mustang GT thinking he's going to beat it? No, I can't figure out why either. I imagine if he had beat me he would be bragging to his friends"I just kicked a guy's ass in a Mustang GT with my little 4 cylinder".
Yeah right! Mustang GT=3, BMW's=0.
