2001.5 A4 1.8T Quattro, 5-spd vs. Unk. BMW Z3 roadster.
Last night I was bored, so I called up my friend and we went cruising around. At about 9:30 (he had to be in at 10) we were heading up I-280 North. No real traffic, just a couple of cars here and there. CHP enforcement on there is pretty light, but I was cruising at 70mph anyway.
I'm in the 2nd left lane, minding my own business when a Z3 creeps up next to me. I figured he would probably beat me, but I downshifted to 4th, and took off. He kept back, but flashed his brights on me, so I pulled up next to him and downshifted to 3rd @ 70mph. He flashed his brights again and took off. He was pulling away till I hit 80mph and shifted up to 4th, at which point I was pulling on him again. I got up 2 car lengths from him and he dropped back. I dropped back too, lined up next to him, and he takes off again. This time we raced to 100mph, with me pulling on him from the moment I got into 4th gear. We caught up to some traffic, so I didn't want to race anymore, and neither did he. He signalled to exit and took off.
I really didn't think I would be able to hang with him, but I figure maybe he was driving an auto, and possibly the low end engine.
What do you guys think? You guys ever get any kills you didn't expect?
