I was pretty much just admiring but i assume after we gave each other props he wanted to test me out so he'd gun it and pull away a bit quicker than i expected...but i covered ground quicker than he probably expected, caught up and we did this back and forth till there was essentially little to no traffic ahead...at this point my exit was about a mile ahead so i dropped her into manual-mode, gunned it and he was behind a bit but gained on me.

All in all...the 35i definitely has some pickup (thanks to TT) and is quite impressive but i believe the 4.6iS is slightly quicker. But then again, i believe different results will be achieved, pending driver.
