Higher #'s is right! Hp is 225 with 214 ft lbs of torque gets this hefty luxo cruiser weighing in at 3616 pounds (WOW) from 0-60 in 6.7 seconds with a 1/4 mile trapping at 15.2.

It wouldn't be a cake walk but its NOT impossible! If his is the automatic and you have a 5 spd and know how to launch it then you should take him!

Heres a link to Edmunds for a review of the 330 Ci and how its a weak engine for such a heavy car. THIER words NOT MINE.

This my friend is most certainly a drivers race! I say go for it and make him feel bad he spent all that money to have a lowly Cobalt take out his BMW. And remember a win is a win I don't care if its by 2 feet or 2 cars.

Good luck and let us know about the pwnage!

they're beautiful cars. it's a drivers race in a straight line. if it was a road course, you would be owned.
