I wasnt impressed by this one in that case. Better road conditions and a longer track I would have taken him. My optimal accelleration comes @ 80+ mph and If I was that close to him carrying 700+ lbs. more curb weight .....thats even worse.

i prefer the "nudge" over the "crash"

i think he beat me in 1st gear

I smoked a g35 a couple weeks ago

meh, prolly an automatic with a ****** driver. i've been neck and neck with 740s. 760 a diff story.

it wasnt from a stop so I dunno. It may be close your vehicle is much lighter and meant for speed.

Make sure to disable the "Car Damage" option in the Game Options menu beforehand 😛

so what after 60 your car has a rocket booser and magically becomes faster than his car? please show me a stock car that has a difference of more than 1 second to 60 and is faster than the other car in a 1/4 1/2 or any distance.

oh and notice the 1/4 times for your cars... about 15.5 secs for your car and 14 secs for his.

this race wasn't a 1/4 mile race tho 😕
 
If you would lose some of your 700 pound "curb weight" maybe you could race better, not to mention easier entry and exit from the vehicle. 😉
 
the old 740i is a slow, high 15 second car, i'm surprised he didn't pound your ass harder.
