O/T Which is faster Honda or BMW330i
 

EVERETT, Wash. (AP) - The Washington State Patrol says a trooper arrested
two men speeding 141 mph on I-5 in Snohomish County. The patrol says the
trooper thought he was hearing an airplane early Sunday as the cars whizzed
by going north, a 2005 BMW 330i with a 2007 Honda Accord right behind.

The trooper caught up with the cars because they had stopped for a passenger
from one of the cars to get into the other.

The 22-year-old driver of the BMW, and the 18-year-old driver of the Honda
were booked into the Snohomish County Jail for charges of reckless driving.

Both cars have pretty good performance, but the 330 handles better and
can make 155 MPH. Various versions of the Accord can be true entusiast
cars. Either car is built better than a Corolla and is a pleasure to
drive by any comparison.

My 2004 BMW 330i really isn't all that fast or quick. BMW has been rather
conservative with its power on the standard vehicles, the M-group cars
excepted.

330 is capable of 0-60 in just under 6 seconds...not crazy fast, but
more than fine for a comfy sedan. My LGT is faster, but less plush for
it.

Not according to BMW's stats. I tend to believe BMWs are underpowered, at
least until you get to the M-series cars. And of course the new 335i is
fairly potent.

I think you, Rob et. al. should take this discussion to

You guys probably sat around memorizing baseball stats when you were kids

Wanna know Ted Williams' batting average the last year he played, for

Funny how many people can quote trivia like that but cannot describe a
periodic table or find, say, Afghanistan or Nebraska on a map. Oh well .....

BTW I've seen over 160 mph on a calibrated rally speedo (Halda IIRC) in my
buddies SWB Berlinetta circa 1964. So, since speed kills, y'all better
stick to BMs and Hondas - or better yet sailing.

No offence Max.

What element would you like me to describe the location of on the periodic
table? And geography was one of my better subjects.

I've seen well over that on three different motorcycles. I'd *love* to have
had the opportunity to witness it in the Ferrari to which you refer, but
what the hell.


No offence Max.

None taken, and it's 'offense.'
