Default Had fun drag between a Jaguar XK8? and a tuned BMW 318 coupe yesterday...

the Jaguar lit up the intersection nice...tons of smoke but the real competition came suprsingly from the the BMW 318....he actually spun them all the way up to third gear.... the jaguar suprisingly didnt do that well (wouldve have thought I wouldve lost to him....Jaguar was a new style coupe.....sounded like it was supercharged....figured he shouldve won....maybe he couldnt drive....but I gotta tell ya that tuned BMW was quick...with a crazy four wheel spinnin launch I had him at top of third by only about 3/4 s or a car length....then it was over.....

Default If you didn't lose to the Jag, it wasn't supercharged (XKR). I've been there ...

got about 3-4 lengths on me from 30-100.

Default Yeah it was weird...he smoked em up....then kinda bogged and car made weird noises..

think he missed his shift....figured unless highly tuned, 1.8T no match for a supercharged 8.......but then again sometimes it just comes down to whos drivin not so much what they are drivin......
