I was driving down the highways of Mexico earlier today. Wasn't looking for a race or anything, but noticed a BMW in the rear view driving kinda aggressively. I couldn't tell you the exact year, but if I google "2017 BMW M3" it looked exactly like the pictures that come up.
I haven't really had any fun in my car all winter, so I thought "**** it" and got behind him. There was some traffic, so he floored it to get ahead where the lanes were all empty. I followed him, just giving it a little gas to try and not let him on to the fact that I've got some work done to mine.
Major mods on my car:
- Procharger P1 @ 15 PSI + intercooler
- Terminator short block
- Supporting fuel mods (60# injectors, dual Cobra pumps, KB BAP)
- Bob Monks tune, probably close to 500 whp on a 50 degree day like this (it dyno'd 486 on a 94 degree day)
Pretty sure he was bone stock, I didn't even hear an aftermarket exhaust.
He got over into the next lane to let me get next to him, was a Mexican kid, maybe 18 and he signaled "50 MPH" so I slowed down and put it in third gear. For some reason, he thought it would be a really good idea if he gave me a car length head start before honking it off LOL. I was trying to motion for him to come up even with me, but he wasn't gonna do it.
I let off a few seconds into fourth gear with approximately a bus length on him. He wanted one more go and was at least smart enough to line up even this time lol. Pretty much the same result. Waxed him again.
He STILL wanted to go again, but I abused the car enough for one day and my exit was coming up lol. You just gotta remind these guys in these fancy new cars that an old 4.6 can still bring the pain. Feels good to let the Mach stretch it's legs a bit after being mostly cooped up in the garage for 3 months!
I need to get a D1 though, like soon.
