Default my love for my sc430 just grew

on my way home today with the top down i came across a bmw 650 convertible(also top down) at a red light, he looks at me and revs his engine.
so we both launch when it hit green, we only went up to about 90mph and what surprised me is that he only got me by less 5 feet distance the whole way

it was an 08 and he said it was stock.

mines a 7 year old 2002 with only exhaust, intake, and throttle body upgrade!

and if it makes a difference i have a tein s.tech drop with 285/30/20 in back(better traction for launch maybe?)

Your story warms my heart, that BMW owner must be extremely puzzled to have an 02 right on his butt. You sure it wasn't four feet ??

If you arent afraid to red-line a little bit you can get from 0-60 with only the first 2 gears being used.

Thats with PWR engaged of course.

those german cars are not that fast usually. Unless its a performance version of a vehicle they are no quicker than the Japanese
