I once had a mid-90's 325 (E36) try to race me once on my way home. I had no idea what that was about. Definitely a 325, not 328 or anything.
I stomped on it a few times to let him hear in case he mistook me for a 4-cylinder but I basically let him go. He sped off into the night while I continued at the speed limit. A mile or two later, going in the same direction as the beemer, I saw the teltale flashes of speed traps all around. Quite an amusing drive!

It's odd, I haven't been challenged in quite a while. Lately when on the highway everyone seems to get out of the way or I'm just cruising with traffic and no one messes with me. I do get the ocasional (Spin the Tires) from the teenagers at stop lights but not much beyond that. Weird.
Regardless I can't complain about the sharks ability to get up and go, both the S4 and the GT very easily and quickly get you into night in jail territory.
One thing I will say is that I would much rather be driving the shark over any 3 series beemer (no offense to owners). They just don't do it for me, I feel isolated from the mechanicals when driving them. Can't really explain it any other way. Maybe it was the SMG that killed it for me.

I am a huge fan of the 928 and have a pretty quick one. I also have a 335xi. The rated hp output of that motor is 300hp, the word is it is closer to 340hp. I can tell you it does feel stronger then 300hp. I am gonna bet your 87 would not keep up with a 335ix unless the other driver "didn't know he was racing"...........
No stock shark of that vintage came within a half a second to a 5 second 0 to 60.

I totally agree. I read somewhere that the 335i get 300 to the wheels. With a simple 2k chip upgrade you get 384hp & over 400 torque. I will be dynoing mine sometime soon at Louies. I'm very impressed with handling and power.
928 & 335i are both great cars but the 928 looks much cooler.
