Ok so Im cruisin out towards the Veterans on Ehrlich top down with my girlie in the passenger seat. Were just out driving around cause there isnt anything better to do goin twistie hunting 
I see a set of headlights comin up fast through traffic see its a BMW larger sized one. Thinking maybe its an old 540 or something that wants a glimpse. I pull first in line to a light BMW right behind me. I leave the line lazily but hes right on my tail so I know he wants a piece. I shift to second raise my revs high enough to be in the sweet spot of my band I wait for him and he comes around the car next to me and guns it. I gun it too and were off. Im towards the top of second notice its a station wagon 
and shift into third thinking to myself why havent I blown him off the road yet? :confused: Top of third into 4th and hes still right there not slippin an inch not gaining an inch up til 110mph where I shut down due to traffic. He pulls up next to me and compliments me on my car. I tell him thanks ask him what the hell is in that thing? He tells me its a 4.4 V8...supercharged! I tell him its quite the sleeper and off we go our seperate ways. Im positive I would have gotten a hole shot on him but it was interesting none-the-less!

John It seems you have run into the infamous sleeper wagon that the Porsche Killer (local DSMr some of you may know)ran into. He had a similar story about a quick supercharged BMW Wagon.

There was a european guy at the Tampa BK a month or so ago with a blue BMW station wagon that had a 99 5-series motor swap Powerdyne supercharger and a few other goodies on it. He said he had some engineers from BMW retained to help with the swap. Was it a dark-blue early 90s wagon and was the guy european looking/sounding?
