If you consider a mid-nineties(?) 5.7 Trans Am a giant anyway. Two left turn lanes, one stop light, one Trans Am with the usual accessories, i.e. greasy looking guy, bimbo girlhfriend, gold chains galore-you get the picture, and one nevada 2002. Now, normally a nevada 2002 looks as threatening as kleenex, but I guess he was eye balling my Rev wheels and lowered stance because he gave me a double take and then said something to the trollup indicating his profound knowledge of the universe including the automotive realm. Verdict-that little car aint shit and he's getting a lesson....besides, I want to turn right up ahead to go to the huntin' shack. Light turns green-he get's on it. Waiting to see if we're really racing, I then get on it-but with limited tire spin.....until, I get far into the corner and the K-fished M10 starts spooling up like a turbo. One waaay big power slide while handing the TA his ass. Actually it was a little scary-at that point where you either back off and the rear end snaps back-you lose and look stupid, or you stay in it and hope something hooks up, you win and look stupid-no escaping that one in a street race. I did the latter. TA guy has no choice but to tuck in behind me as his lane dissapears. Next stoplight he is on me like fur on an ape-reving his motor. Light green, I go, he smokes, I drop him again, he loses, I'm toasty, life is grand:).

pretty cool, I like those sleeper stories. A while back I was on Guadalupe by the airport light (San Jose Airport) and this bimmer 2.5 roadster stops next to me. Light goes green and we both hammer, I waited for him at the next light and he said lets go again and one more time I got to wait for him. He was very surprised but good natured about it. I don't know if he went looking for an 02 after that but somehow I ended up with a roadster.

ahhrg OT now just got back from a very long flt and had my first couple of beers in a couple of months. Ahhh me and the girls (St Pauli girls that is) are happy cause after many weather and maint no drops and tonites malfunction on the first go around, I'm two flts away from going home, well for a little bit then I'm off to New Mejico for a little more training.

when they used to have the 02s on the track with the muscle cars, the muscular v-8s would scream away in the strights, and the 02s would stay full into the gas in the corners and thinks wuld go back and forth. way to go and way to take it to the edge- too bad though: he wont be posting up about it to his friends- but the trollop might spread the story among the rooting section. just think what a sahara could do......

..Corvettes at BMWCCA drivers schools trying to keep pace with all the threes series BMWs, M Coupes, etc. However, the Cobras have a wonderful exhuast note as they scream down the long straight stretches.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
