Corvette Girlfriend Beats BMW Boyfriend in Drag Race, Shifts Gears Like a Pro

The internet is loaded with memes talking about car girls, which draw "I would marry her on the spot" comments like crazy. Well, let's see what  happens when your girlfriend is actually a car person.

The latest example of this comes from the Royal Purple Raceway, which has hosted a rather unconventional battle. One one side, we have a driver whom friends call "The Corvette Girlfriend", while the opponent is her "BMW Boyfriend".

Usually, we skip the details about how the race ended, but this just wouldn't cut it on this occasion. So yes, she beat the guy. And to keep things interesting until the last few yards, the race was memorably close.

As you can imagine, the post-race impressions are also delicious. While the 'Vette driver uses a nice, feminine attitude, the guy in the BMW talks about his future plans for the car and how he aims to improve the performance.

About the modifications the two driver mention

After all, none of the cars were in stock condition. The twin-turbo BMW had mods such as a cold air intake and an ECU remap, while the Corvette used a complete exhaust system and an ECU remap.

Before you rush to label his speech under "racing driver excuses", you should know the 3 Series he races is indeed a highly tunable vehicle. So perhaps we will see the four-wheeled tables turning in the future of this couple. One way or another, they'll be racing each other and that's what matters.
