Re: 1987 BMW 325i VS 1995 Ford Probe Gt

bald tires and blown struts play absolutely no role once the cars are going. So losing a race in third gear with such low powered cars cannot be blamed on that. The extra weight couldn't have helped, but more likely the probe just had a better thrid gear. I don't know a ton about an 87 3 series, but I doubt it was all that much faster than a 95 probe to begin with...add in the fact that its 2 decades old...

I don't see why this is really that much of a surprise.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.
