I'm not really sad though, because I was racing an BWM M3. We never go to go off the line, we just turned and went. I kept up until about 70-80 MPH where he kept climbing in speed faster than me. Then he got on the highway and I went home with my tail inbetween my legs.

umm..yeah. M3's are a might bit quick. Next to the Skyline that's my favorite car. Much more feasible to obtain as well. I had the opportunity to drive one 3 months ago and that is a true driver's car in every sense.

Needless to say I wouldn't be ashamed of being beat by one..almost well-deserved wink.gif

you dont see many new m3's though. my friend has a 97 m3 (240hp), and its pretty quick...not blazing fast, but quick. the main advantage is that it handles like a go kart. unfortunately i hear the new m3's, while they're faster, tend to have a little less feel in the driving and even understeer a bit.

I made up for the loss friday and today, beating...

A V6 Camaro
A V6 Mustang
A F-150 V8
2 Civic EX's smile.gif smile.gif

Don't worry I'm not sad or angry about losing to the M3, if I spend as much on mods as he did more for his car than me, I'd blow his BMW away smile.gif
