Raced 997TT, XK, M8, M4 and E63

I just got back from another 2 hour fun drive up and down PCH. Raced the following:
  • E63, very fast and I only had ½ car length at the end of third
  • Z8 BMW, very fast. The first race I had him by 1.5 car length at the end of third. Second race he started before the light turned green and shifted into second before me. He had me by 1 car length at 95MPH.
  • M4 Coup. Smoked him, no contest.
  • 997 TT, I had him by 1.5 car lengths at the end of third.
  • Jaguar XK, not a chance, smoked him.
Since I am alone in the car, videos are tuff, but I do have two.

I have never heard of an M4 or an M8. They must be nice.

It was a Z8. The M4 is a coupe version of the Z4. You ca hear him spining the tires in 1st and second gear. The Z8 is very fast.

Non smoker. I have a clear head. I have been racing on PCH since I was 16 (29 years). No tickets or accidents.

The only mods are a Revo flash to 1.0 bar and a 16 lb battery. I also took out the spare tire and tools.

The M4 is fast. You can here the M4's driver comenting on our first race. I camw up behind him on PCH and when he puched it I flew past him in third gear. The second race was the one I taped from a stand still.

Wait until the M Coupe gets the V8 from the M3..400HP would make for lots of fun in that chassis.

The Z8? The first race was from a dead stop and I had him beat in every gear (to 95 MPH or the end of third gear). The second race he took off before the green light and I could barely catch him by the time 95MPH came around.
