Hung with a 325i today...

Watched this guy blaze away from light after light at top-speed. So finally, he got a light, and the lane next to his was taken so I got in behind him. I'm already at a disadvantage, being behind this guy; I can't launch like I need to because I have to wait until I see him move. But we went on green, and after I made up my R/T deficit, I was hanging there, glued to his back bumper up to 60-65. He switched lanes and shut down to turn off. So it was short, but I was happy with that. I'm sure the Bimmer was an auto, but I'm also sure BMW's 2.5 has a lot higher hp rating than Ford's. And he was RAGGING that Bimmer. So I felt pretty good about hanging. I only wish I could have lined up with this guy, to see what he was REALLY made of.

Anybody know the specs on a 325? It was a mid-90's model, don't know my Bimmers well enough to tell more...
