540 and I

I got my first real launch couple of days ago. Really, I thought 0-60 in under 5 second in this car was impossible, but man, I almost broke my neck when I launched properly.

I slip my clutch at 4K RPM and when you get that clutch slip and gas just right, the car sticks at 4K RPM and propells with boost built up.

My neck went and hit my seat and I had to slow down, because everything happened so fast. I was at 7K RPM and I shut down in 1st gear.

Anyway, that same night, I was driving around and I had this BMW following me.

I thought it was a 330 CI, but when I was in 2nd gear reving to 7K it kept up fairely well.

WE weren't racing or anything. So he pulls two lane next to me. He takes off and I take off (without launching) and we were dead even.

I shut down at 50mph and look over to my right and it was 540i.

This car is quick, if a 4 banger could keep up with a V8.

Anyway, I thought I'd share that with you.

Werd. I keep surprising myself and the other cars around me. Just when I think I've reached its limits, it keeps going!
