Default Z4 VS. 35th GT Vert.

I didn't get much of a chance to measure this car but it was fun. Came up behind this red Z4 both our tops were down and were entering a nice 3 lane highway from about a 30 roll. I hear him drop and I just slam the pedal as I have a slowmatic. I didn't blow past him but creeped up to his front fender before I hit 100. Right after that we hit a bunch of traffic and toned it down. Some may say SFW... who cares.

He must have had a Remus exhaust system on this beemer cause it sounded nice. Anyway, my Vortech will be in this week with 42lb.s inj.s, 90mm Lighting MAF, 255 lph pump and Preditor programmer. The next upgrade will be a 5 speed.

Not really that fast, its still slower than most GT's. I like embarrasing this one old guy near the base, he got on it once next to the Goat, he got left now he wont even look at it when he sees me. Its teh funnah..

I believe the Z4 is capable of mid to high 13's when driven properly. I ran one on the street once and it was too close to call.
