some of those numbers are really close, it might depend on the driver and the launch or road conditions. i would say there is no difference between our car at 5.1 and those other 5.0 cars. i would hardly call those "stay away froms" i know i won't be backing down to z4, 335i, and GT.

Yeah I don't back down from Z4s, 335i (if I ever see one around here) and GTs.

Never really had a problem with GTs actually, always able to take the stock/lightly modded ones at the track without an issue - its the more heavily modded ones that don't look like it that are the big surprise.

anyway i don't condone street racing, not only is it illegal but also unsafe. all i can say is here in kansas, after midnite there isn't anyone on the streets. and the roads are long and straight you can see a stoplight ahead for a mile, in some cases three miles. and there are long stretches where there are no entry points into the road (there are deer around). outside my place, i hear them drag up and down 135th practically every night of the week.

doesn't make it right tho.
