my b, kapone. i checked http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html, and it shows the 98 ls 400 doing 6.3 sec to 60. Your 95 325 conv is also shown to do it in 9.1 sec. A big difference between your two cars, but your bmw conv is slower than the non-conv model of the same year. see that the non-convertible model does it in 7.7 sec, much faster due to less weight and possibly a manual-vs-auto shifter. The numbers I was referencing in my orig post were from the back of Car and Driver mag.

on a related note, horsepower isnt everything. my 189 hp e30 regularly beats cars with 50+ more horsepower cause they're fat around the middle.

Horsepower is 100 ewoks poking you with pointy sticks.
Torque is one wookie pulling your arms out of their sockets.
