I raced a LS1 Trans Am for ****s and giggles awhile back.. Little did we know, there was a cop in the parking lot watching us rev and whatnot. We go, I get my **** rocked like im standing still, he gets pulled over. Ticketed for racing and speeding. I say we were both stupid..
Your story sir, on the BMW's part was dumber. I would assume most anyone would play along with a BMW

Heavy compared to...[sub]compact cars like Neons? Sure, obviously. Heavy compared to Camaros, Challengers...it's main competition; no. It is still lighter, and costs less. A 305 HP V6 car that weighs 3,600 LBS, has a 2.73 gear ratio (insanely high IMO, but that's how the gas mileage is that high no doubt), that does the 1/4 mile in the 14 second range isn't really "slow." Those are 1/4 mile times are only ~0.7 seconds slower than the 6.1L V8 SRT-8 Challenger that costs MUCH more ($42,000 vs. $22,000), from a 3.7L V6. So, heavy and slow? Not by any means really.

i always thought the new stangs weighed in at around 3,900 (i may be wrong, wont be the first and wont be the last, lol) but i work at a gm dealership and i know for sure the new camaro 's are slow to me, even being the ss version i am just not impressed with it for the price tag.... i knew the cars were in the 14s, and yeah it is not to bad.... but something about a 6 cylinder mustang i just dont like.... just me, but something about being a v6 mustang takes all the fun out of it....

The older body styles were underpowered. Agreed; especially the V6 models. Good luck doing that with the new ones. Ford finally got people want more power in them, regardless. The GT's come factory with over 400HP. The "Cobra" models are going to be even more powerful when they come out.
