ok, I know the BMW's are quick, and expensive, but you guys are missing the point.

In my race, the M3 had 240hp. I should have 280-290 with my setup, and I've got the 4.10 gears. Also, I had removed about 100lbs from my car when we raced.

Second, my friend's GS has ~310hp, and he lost to a car with 225??? By two cars???? Something is VERY wrong here.

The M3 that beat me was BONE stock, of the showroom floor, with not so much as an air filter. The 330ci that beat my bud's lex was BONE stock, off the showroom floor, with less than 1000miles on it.

Since the beginning, I've been told, "Anything can happen on the street." But you can't deny the laws of physics, and it takes Horsepower and torque to get moving, and stay moving, and flat out, these cars should not have been able to win. What am I missing?
