All I know is you = idiot the guy obviously knew he had the better car, so he had nothing to prove to you, got out of the way and let you pass.
"revving at you" lol please kid! You probably heard the semi-aggressive stock exhaust of the 1M and took it personal. Quote:

I'm not one to call someone an idiot, but re-read my original post especially towards the end, then get back to me. Last edited by RnmEvo9; 08-26-2011 at 06:52 PM.. |

The advantages of the 1M are a higher ratio rear end (quicker acceleration), a limited slip differential (better traction), lower weight (quicker accelration), bigger tires (better traction), and higher hp/torque. The DCT is a really nice automatic with very quick shifts but it will not make up for all of that. If the 135i is chipped, maybe but stock to stock, I think the answer is pretty obvious (assuming no missed shifts by the 1M driver).

@ high horse...I drive the same car as you, as I await my 1M...it is a better car than what I currently drive, which makes it a better car than what you currently drive. No surprise there. </discussion> |

how original, e-peen stroking.
so what EVEN if you win an 1M. You spent $s modding it, his is stock. Grats? I'd save the mod $ and buy the next better car.

does it make anyone feel bad that my s2000 is faster than the modded 135 and 1M? both on the track and drag? And there are many many many cars that are even faster than my modded s2000?
Every car can be made faster than the next car. You will never be the fastest. It's just about how much you want to spend. What really makes a difference is the driver... unless of course you have a vagina and are driving an automatic... than your just the same as the next car... well no I'm sorry you do have to press the gas pedal down quicker/first i didn't know the car you buy and mod is really just a dick measuring contest. Shit seems like i didn't get the memo... Last edited by Sy546; 08-27-2011 at 12:02 PM.. |

What is all this lighter talk? Where are you getting your information from?

+1 ... if people remove rear seat cushions, spare tires, jacks, etc to remove any weight possible, a 77-lb difference can be considered a decent advantage specially when getting the car moving from a stop, during acceleration, cornering etc. Also, a lot of this weight reduction can be credited to the lack of a sunroof, which is a crucial spot to remove weight from, considering the importance of a low center of gravity.
