Your Ride: 2003 330ci
IS300 vs Lil ol me?

Crusing on the 210 at 3am, I was actually getting kinda sleepy when I saw bright xenons coming up behind me on the carpool lane real fast. I was at about 80, so I decided to bump it up and see where it will lead. I've never pushed my 330, as I had just bought it a couple of months before this. The IS comes up next to me as I hit 90, and I guess he realized I wanted a piece of him and he gunned it at the same time i downshifted. We took it a couple of miles of road, I hit 115-120 or so, but he just kept right next to me. I eventually chickened and cruised back down to 85 or so, but it left me with a whole new respect for lexii. Hehe. My question is...what is the speed limiter on 2003 series 330ci's? I thought it was a bit higher than 120, but at 120 it seemed like it stalled a little. Also, man, I think that IS could have taken me if I pushed it, could it have? Don't they have roughly the same hp's? He had 4 doors, I had 2, and most likely he had a passenger (carpool lane) and I was alone. Made me go hmmmmmm...
