Got in a race

Ok, just pulled out of a gas station and there was a car in front of me so I hit it. Some how I knew a race was going to happen before I even pulled out on the road. Any way the car was a late model 328 BMW M3. He was able to get ahead of me but he did not blow me away by any means. So I pull up next to him a mile or so down the road and I said hey nice run. He told me his car was a 3.2ltr rated @ 333 HP. I was very suprised by this given he did beat me but not by what I think a car that much more powerful should have. I am rated @175HP I had a full tank of 87 octane gas and my car having 140,000 miles on the original spark plugs and wires. I am sure that if I had a quarter of a tank of fuel and a tune up I would have made a better run at it. I would have still lost out but it would have been closer. If I was running a motor rated @250 like some of the newer cars I could have taken him. That BMW is not cheap either.
