Almost Got Smoked, Then I Got Smoked

[e30driver]

okay when driving today my rpm guage wasnt working (sorta reason why i almost got smoked)

remember i have a 1987 325 no letter

okey a scion (the big square one) pulls up ,and its fixed up, and he reves on me. so light turns green and we take off hes in front, i slowley creep up on him and pass him. i am thinking that thing can not be faster of the line then my car. but i do pass him, and as i do the guy gives thumbs up.
the next one was going on the freeway. i took him untill 90 and he pulled away it was some kind of american car i think it was a caviler or some thing like that.

i didnt go all the way in first and second gear because my rmp guage wasnt working!!! ghead

you know, you do have a rev limiter

Never redline... well, not in the low rpm torque cars at least (I'm sure there are exceptions). You should have shifted by sound anyway...
And a SCION tried to race you? I'm going to go there right now and put that mofo in his place...
..
Sorry. I hate scions. They're butt ugly, and mechanically a bad idea. Although the marketing team did their research.
And some of the newer american cars... I want to test drive that CTS at least once... It technically handles better than my car...

and that "American car" that looks like a Cavalier...you sure it wasn't a GTO? That thing will smoke just about every car out there. A nasty car!

i did shift by sound, but i just dont want to red line.
i know its not a gto i toke him off the line and when i reached like 85 he started to catch up. i was in third gear going in to fourth. after i keep up with him (3 car lengths) untill my exit.

today i got my tach. fixed.
i want to find that guy and race him again.

your 325 should have eaten that scion and a cavalier at any speed. the scion has 100hp and about the same torque. cavalier isnt much better.

and, the cts is a pretty nice car. i was driving around in one of our super cts-v's yesterday.. and ive never actually .. hurt.. from accelerating so hard before, but it actually almost did.

too bad wheelhop is such a bitch in the CTS, but its easily curable with a system we developed.

Yeah, wheelhop... heh... That's kind of fun. Heh...
I mean... uh...
Those american cars do well in those upper ranges Wow. Now I really want to try that CTS... And the gt500 mustang definitely. And of course a corvette. Never done that...

That cts is only available through us =) (Lund Cadillac)

550hp

mid 12's in the 1/4. low 13's with 5 people in the car (we actually had a track day that we just did 1/4s all day in one of our test vehicles with the driver and 4 different passengers every run)
