You can beat stock Sti's in your Z4 Coupe Si? I'm guessing it's really close or an old Sti ? My roady weighs less and Sti's are still way quick.

Yea I was as Streets of Willow at Willow Springs Raceway last weekend. Those damn bastards kept pushing on me. In the turns and on the straights. Don't even get me started on EVO's. Only thing I can do is let them pass.

Yes, the one with 300 hp, from a roll I can clearly pull on them
The roadster may weigh a few pounds less, but I'm sure the coupe is more efficient at higher speeds.

I love to hear them. If I were 17 I would definitely consider it.

Yeah, I would have considered an EVO or STI if they didn't both look like shit. I just wanted an eye catcher with above average performance. Ricerx1, I find it hard to believe they were taking you in turns.... especially since you have the coupe.

Most of the STi and Evo drivers are college students in my town. Fortunately, they've never tried to challenge me.

I definitely will try it . People in Cleveland drive under speed limit, they do 28-30mph on a 35mph speed limit road.

^^ Haha. Opposite here, people do at least 10 over just about everywhere. Although coming across a highly modified car is very rare.

Modified WRX/STi are common site in San Diego, modified EVOs are slightly harder to come by.

My 3.0si Coupe is about as quick (in a straight line) as a stock WRX. But I leave it for dead on the corners. Only pitted my Coupe against a WRX the one time, but it was clear where we each stood.

Off the mark or rolling start it was neck and neck.

As soon as the corners came, I'd look back and wonder if he'd broken down or something.

Never duelled with an Evo or Sti though.

You guys sure these cars are up with us on the corners?

My last car was actually a 400HP STi. I miss the turbo kick, but that's about it. Love the M in every other way. I'd be first on the list for a Turbo Z4.

The M hood would have even more of a defined lift in the middle if they had to fit a turbo in there as well!

HUH? I don't think a turbo would go up there. Would it? It would go near the exhaust manifold. Most likely back by the firewall right?
