..so I get in this morning and my boss is all giddy because some lad in a boosted e36 called him out on a stoplight drag and lost.
I am not one to condone stop light drag and neither is he (he claims he was minding his business till this fellow was revving and showing off that his BOV was vented to the atmosphere) but at least have the ability to lay the smack if you call someone out rather than get owned while he was minding his own business!

FWIW it was a red challenger R/T and this encounter was this past w/end.:shifty

Rafa would not lose to a normal R/T!

It sounds like a bad driver and what color was the car?

Well if it was an SRT8 it would be pretty fast. IIRC R/T's aren't all that great...

I agree Halston unless his boss is trying to save face from getting his rear handed to him.....:shifty

"Not I" said the hen.... :dunno

And who's running such a small turbo that it can build boost at idle to Blow Off anyway?
I can't say I've ever actually tried to do that.....

Well whoever this person was, I now have to hear my boss point and laugh at boosted bimmers.
He said and I quote:

"A 5.8 v8 Hemi will be quicker than an old 2.8 lump even with a turbo bolted on. Granted the 2.8 should be off the mark quicker, by the time I would be in 2nd gear range, the hemi would eat it and keep on going"

:rolleyes

A bit about my boss, he's done several of the Brit style track days and owned an Elise, Subarus, track Bikes yadda yadda. I tried to get him to get a bimmer as his next car or fun car but he doesn't like them. Hopefully he gets something track worthy that can turn so I can have him come to autocross or HPDEs

Thanks to the looser in the 2.8 who it seems had an APC eletronic boost noise maker.

This took place on Windward parkway by the way and his car is a "Charger" not a "challenger" as the post says. Forgive me for my weak American car knowledge.

His car is the regular RT not an SRT-8

I am trying to get him to come to the March HPDE then again, I don't know if any fast FI bimmers will be out there.

Oh well...:embarrasm

Phew!

Yup - said thing I said and triple checked the car description.
I wish it was me. I would have shut your boss up... :( Duno who it could have been.. Rafa would have killed him also, So would Brett. ?
Haha....Rafa has to come and defend his name...
I have my money on Rafa.
See above...

Same thing I thought

Change your sig :shifty
Nope, not I either...
Thank you baby Jesus, I'd have to re-evaluate your car's mods and your driving capabilities... btw the HPDE sign-up is open:eek:
"Not I" said the hen.... :dunno

Ahmen

So err who do I contact to put an APB out for a blue supposedly boosted 328i in the Alpharetta area?
