well said.... that nice V8 with RPI.........the only thing that sounds better is an F1 car

On my way home from work on Friday an early 90's Z28 that was modded up a bit tried to take me. We were on a two lane street that narrows to one after 200-300 yards. It was mid afternoon and almost no other cars around. I heard an engine roar and a tire chirp. I looked to my right and there was this Z28 trying to blow by me, his rear wheel was next to my front wheel before I reacted. I matted the gas, my car launched forward and I blew by him like he was standing still. It was over in 2 seconds. He skulked away after, letting himself drift back in traffic...

Don't mess with Dinan tuned BMW V8's unless you got serious power

But which one handles better?
