Z also weighs several hundred pounds less and has a lower wind resistance, so if the nut behind his wheel was tight enough, he should have had an advantage as the speeds got up there. J.

Street racing results are pretty meaningless since the driver who is willing to take more chances is the one who usually wins. ----------- Alex this was more like open road, who could keep up,,,, for a short period anyways.... > >> had a run-in with a nissan 350z. i was behind at the light, he took off, i > >> kept behind, then he hit traffic, i passed, then he tried to keep with me.

I was once a passenger in a BMW 320I cruising down the highway at sustained speeds of 110. Lots of other faster sports cars would speed up and keep up with us for while, but they all eventually chickened out and slowed back down to lesser speeds. It doesn't mean the 320I was superior to the other cars. Just that the driver was willing to keep his foot on the gas for longer than the other guys. --------------- Alex >had a run-in with a nissan 350z. i was behind at the light, he took off, i >kept behind, then he hit traffic, i passed, then he tried to keep with me. > >the z has 17 more hp and 36 more ft-lbs. > >i think he would have passed me.... i hit 120mph, he turned off.... What did you win? :-) Enjoy, Tim Wisner www.wisner.us i won a feelin' that i would have been beaten if there was another 1/4 mile of open road left. > >had a run-in with a nissan 350z. i was behind at the light, he took off, i > >kept behind, then he hit traffic, i passed, then he tried to keep with me.
