I finally convinced my assistant manager to race me after work with his '02 Sebring. So we pull up to a red light. I shift it into sport mode. I roll down the window and make a "L" sign with my hand, which actually stands for "first person to light 1 is ftw". Then I roll up the window. The light then turns green, and I get a good car's length jump on him. I slowly gain more and more inches off of him. I hit the light at about 90mph, with 2-3 cars length. Victory lights, made a U-turn, and went home. I can now once again sleep peacefully. Who needs a 2.7L v6 when you can get a 1.9L il4.  Both cars auto. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

i guess ur in your premature state of not realizing that the 318ti is not a drag car but a fuel efficient, spacious, and sleek looking car. anyways my point is that drag racing is stupid and dangerous __________________ 1995 318ti Cosmos Black

It was at 9:30 on a vacant 1 way road. Only reason there is a light is because of a train tracks. While your at it, go tell these guys also that "drag racing is stupid and dangerous": http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...play.php?f=124 I'm sure we all haven't heard it before. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

Are you effing kidding me????!??!?!?!?!?!
90mph on a public street with traffic (since you did mention traffic light)?! Jesus Christ! Not to say that street between take off light to light "1" must have been a very loooong street to hit 90mph on that ti.
Maybe I shouldnt have sold you that intake  | | | | | 01-02-2009, 09:35 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |

Maybe I shouldnt have sold you that intake | Oh it was long street alright. But it doesn't take me more than 2 miles to reach 110mph. Though it does take a really long time on the last gear. I'm 18. Drag racing is bound to happen with me sooner or later. Like bobbak said, I'm in a premature state. And you honestly can't be to surprised. Take a look at my profile's background picture lol. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

And I know for a fact it's gonna end up some how bad if I keep it up. Another friend told me that he grew out of it after 1 year. We'll it has been 2 years so far, and I'm still doing it. I know it may sound stupid but is there a AA for speeders? Defence driving didn't really have a effect on me. Maybe getting a e34 is a bad idea... =\ __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

I am always blown away at how comfortable it is. My friends never complain...which is amazing...and I don't have to move my seat forward when someone sits behind me. For such a small looking car I think the inside is surprising. Oh yeah and you shouldn't street race. __________________ ~Dave~

Oh yeah and you shouldn't street race. | I fit a whole 318ti hood in my cargo area with the back seats folded down  And Bobby was able to fit a complete set of 318ti seats in his, although he did leave one of his front seats with me so I could steal a part off of it, but there was plenty of room to spare in both cases. As for racing, we've all done it. Just don't make it a habit and be smart about it. BTW, bald tires  __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 01-02-2009, 06:08 PM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 |
drag racing in AUTOMATICS is FTMFL... thats turbo-gay.
drag racing in a N/A 4cylinder is FTMFL... thats slow.
