So on my way to my inlaws house I pass this corner where some guys hang out all the time.(one of them live in the house on the corner.) He has 3 or 4 , 5.0's in various states of repair..There's a stop sign on the corner and everytime I stop there,and they're all there,they stop what they're doing and check out my car..So a few weeks back I was coming home by myself and coming up to a redlight that was about to change in my favor.( I was about 30yds away from it.) To my suprise I see the kid from the corner in his 5.0 going thru the yellow and not seeing me coming..He made the left and got on it a bit and I dropped down to 2nd , kept it to about 40mph@ around 3500rpm or so and came up next to him. (we never met up on the street as he's always working on his car.) If you could've seen his face when he looked over and saw it was me, it was priceless!! As soon as he looked I put it to the floor and held it to the rev limiter was about to kick in,then into 3rd and bye-bye.Of course I switched the trans to manual as I came to the light and saw him.( I know auto's aren't my favorite in these cars but I'm tired of shifting At 46 Lol..) Well anyway I just pullled and pulled on him and turned off to go home. Of course I had to pass his corner house on the way and I took the longer way there then him but we both met at the corner at the same time and flashed our lights respecfully at each other..I know my 850 is a heavy car and not super quick off the line,but they're quick enough. But when they get in their zone or the highway , especially the highway,they're very fast..I've had my car to 140mph and she was still pulling like a train..Not so much of a kill story , but just thought I'd share...:)

Gawd, beautiful car!

Gawd, beautiful car!Thanks seano666..I try to keep her nice..1991 , 62k miles , Blk / Blk ,:D... This is what alot of the kids see on the highway when they think their little Japanese cars with the big coffee can mufflers try to hang with me..Don't get me wrong some are fast but some don't know what they're up against on the highway..

Santa didn't bring you your lowering kit? That bastard...you knew it was coming. :)

That bastard...you knew it was coming. :)To be honest with you Santa brought me a new lower front bumper...My present to myself was HR Springs , Zimmerman Cross Drilled Rotors , Wokke2000 Chips..All will be installed,except front bumper next week or two..And yes I knew it was coming..It does need a drop..:)

You are going to get butt hurt by some "kid" with a big "coffee can"

Haha. For a minute there, I thought this was gonna be another E30 pwns 5.0 thing.

Man, my dad had an 850i in Germany and sold it because he blew the tranny. If only he knew how much it'd be worth later.

E31 FTW :buttrock

Love those cars. So hard to find a manual in them though:(

Great stuff, If I had the budget I would be all over an 850CSi, but alas I am without! Nice KILL!

good kill, but seriously, post a few pics of that beautiful car!

Wow....thats a real clean 850 man. Nice to see another member in the area....I'm right over the bridge....

It's funny how often folks pull up along side and rev their engines...

The Wokke Chip is one of the best mods you can do; your car will scream! You're gonna be real happy, difference is night and day.

There are not too many cars that can jump so damn effortlessly from 50 to 140 in a blink of an eye.

PS. You know this already, but our cars are def. cousins!! Cheers :cool
