I know the exact turn you are talking about:drool:
I am amazed at how the car handles with the bar actually functioning, i can easily throw a pass into my lap,lol. I can not wait for my Euro kit to arrive.
A weird event today involving 3 different BMW's, all one one trip to 181st and back from Tigard. When turning left at the light going from 217 to I-5 north a nice 528i jumped into the left lane thinking i was an easy mark,hehe. I completely owned him on that hard left turn, i know it is a big body BMW but i know they kick but. If 2 cars can handle well its all about what G forces the driver is willing to take. On a left turn i will take all the G's my BFG's will give me and love it. Next BMW encounter was on the way home taking the ramp from 181st merging onto I-84(hard long right turn dam near a 270 degrees) Anyway a 90's 3 series cuts inf ront of me and dipps the turn, as you can imagine i was very pleased to see this. I was about 8 car lengths from him after i gave him some room from cutting me off and hammerd down! I actually put the clutch in to drop the RPM's(and save the motor) and slingshoted all the way upto his bumper (wish i could have seen his face in the rear veiw,lol) but sadly lost to much speed from the extreem corner to stay in 4th so he pulled 5 car length before i could gently drop it to 3rd and pull upto speed with him on the exit onto the straight away. When we hit 80 i let off and let him go. I dont speed much,i just like to own people in the twisties and my Valentine 1 is for show lol. 8 or 10 miles down I-84 im doing 10 over in the fast lane and pass another 5 series(or was it?) He gets behind me and we go through the corners, nothing to crazy just a little fun. When my V1 goes nuts a few miles away i slow down give him plenty of room before i merged into the slow lane. Right as i get over in my mirror i notice he flashed me with the high beams???? Then when he slowly passes he just looked over at me????? WTF This was an 2000-2001 M5 a serious piece of machinery. So my Q was......why the flash and stare? Was he letting me know he could have smashed on me? I knew that when i seen the M5 badge. Or was he simply saying nice job on hanging with a bid dog? I know i was not driving like an idiot. Maybe he was just in shock i was in a contour, he pissed himself. Who knows.
