I got beaten by some mid-90's Bonneville. So embarrassing.

Look, if I had a beastly 550 I would probably feel the same. However, I am currently debating on hiring a personal pit crew to push my 530 at stop lights so it can go a little faster.
P.S. - What's worse is now my E60 is slowly beginning to look more and more aggressive which means at stop lights people are challenging me and all I can really do is wave and go 5 mph.
P.P.S. - Come to think of it, I'm never racing my car at stop lights again after I got beaten by some mid-90's Bonneville. So embarrassing. Some of you guys have no idea how stupid-slow this 225hp I-6 is. Feels like 150 hp under 40 mph. After 40 mph it gets way faster. Airflow problem? who knows.

Better luck next time.
