there are some who "hate on" us BMW owners..LOL
If I told you my last run in with a GTO--it would sound completely made up and scripted like out of a movie, so I won't bother..except to just say that it was at a two lane, red light, where you could see no traffic or law enforcement for a good mile, and the GTO was occupied by two very young men (probabably 19 or 20), who actually rolled down there window and said some very aggressive, cocky things, and were asking for a race they were sure they would easily win. Like I said-the conversation would be like out of a movie--and these boys knew nothing about the bmw, what xi means, or tuned 335s. but instead of being cocky, I playued totally dumb..
My car is aggressively tuned (JB2HHR) with R off and 94 octane at the time. Plus catless DPs and performance filter. Currently the fastest Xi on dragtimes-runs low 12s pretty consistently.
Anyway, at launch, I got 3 cars immediately--and I mean immediately. but since we had so much room I knew they would keeo coming. So I will just say that by the next light where it was time to slow down, I was at 120 and GAINING..now about 8 car lengths. I will also say their reaction was, well priceless when they pulled up to talk.

Luv it and that was just a straight line.
