Scionlife.com - my tC vs. BMW 330ci

hey all. thought id share my experience going against a 330. i didnt go into this race thinking i could beat it but hey the guy wanted to go at it. ok so the light turns green and we launched(still have to master the launch on the tC) he started to pull ahead by about a car length and it stayed that way till about end of 2nd gear when i started to gain on him.by the middle of 3rd gear he was only about a 1/2 car length ahead of me. we only got to like 75 - 80 mph because the next light turned red and there were cars already stopping ahead of us. wish i would have known if i eventually would have pulled up to him or not(i think 330's have 6 speeds) but i was quite pleased as to how my baby performed against a car more than double the value of mine. his was bone stock according to him besides a K&N drop in. my car has CAI, full exhaust including s-pipe, crank pulley, and unichip engine managment. ive yet to dyno it
