Today is the first time I ever raced with such a fast car. a BMW 850ci Twin Turbo. I was racing with a mustang GT, by the time we reached around 40, he cut in, and start pulling crazily. it shocked both of us. anywayz, after the mustang turned away, I got behind the 850 again, and asking one more race. He smiled and gave me a victory pose~ (one funni guy) so there we went again.

His car is pulling already in the first gear, by the second gear he is 2 car length ahead, 3rd gear he is gone, i dunno how many car lengths. When he switched 3rd the 4th, I dunno how he did it, the exhaust suddenly blew through the sand..

it was crazy, made my 430 with TC like a slow *** car. but that BMW driver is one of the cool guy I've seen in a BMW = )

NEED MORE POWE like Brent said. where is our TURBOS~!

the 3UZ aluminum block in in your way in your Wei haha.

After months this is the first time I can say, you should've listened to me and kept your 300 and turbo it hehe.

Oh well it was turbo.

Default Umm, apples to oranges again?

Homie, an 850 with 2 turbos? And you were looking to race him? Dewd, that's a 12 cylinder engine with 2 forced induction turbines blowing into it. A stock Viper would have a hard time keeping up with it.

A quote from Fast and the Furious:

"Whoa, a 2JZ!" (when they brought in that totalled Supra and opened the bonnet.)

I never race when I know that I will absolutely lose in the competition. Are you just trying to see how "slow" your GS is or just want to see a comparsion? Lose those 20" chrome, get 18" magnesium. That would definitely help.

haha, i dont think wei is willing to lose his 20's. like everyone said, speed cost alot of money, if you want a car that fast, just save your money and buy a race car or something.

Wei, that really wasn't a fair race...I mean you could have been on a GSXR-1000 and smoke the 850 no problem, but is it comparable? A twin-turbo, 12 cylinder car vs. a NA V8? Why even bother?!

Wonder how that car would do vs. Mo's GS? Now THAT's more comparable....

Default Heh..

Now, a Hennessey Viper Venom 800 wouldn't have any problems with that Bimmer. Twin turbo. 833 HP. 0-60 in 2.4 seconds. Woot!

hahah thanks for the input guys, I was just shocked about such a fast bimmer, my first time racing with a 500 hp + 850 that's al. = )

The badge says it is a DINAN 850ci Twin Turbo, I Wonder how fast it is, and how much hp ? pretty curious. With it pulling like that, i am pretty sure that car at least run at below 4.5, even the M5 won't be able to pull on the GS430/400 with TC almost after 3rd gear.

All in all, just something really fast, and really unexpected. but i stil luv driving it every single day, so don' worry.

Mo's car quoted 12's at quarter mile, i think that DINAN Beast is at least as fast.

An M5 will dust a GS430/400 with TC.
