[s-cars] My butt momentarily in a BMW

[Taka Mizutani]

That's almost funny, with the G35- my 200q had no problem with G35s or 350Zs
at highway speeds. My 200 had no chance in hell of keeping up with a 930- I
got badly smoked by one coming back from the Glen, I think he did it just
for fun, we waved goodbye when he headed back to PA and I headed elsewhere.

Heck, my STi has no chance keeping up with a 930, although I had a ton of
fun with a 3.4L 996 who couldn't shake me no matter how hard she tried.

F you again, it's Friday! :-)
