m3 fun

was crusin home from the casino, me my bro and my cuzin, he jus turned 19 so we took him down to blow some ends. on the way back, there was a m3 in the fast lane, and a cayenne s in the slowest lane. i creep up in the middle lane in 6th, look both ways, drop it into 4th and away i went. the cayenne made some moves, and when it cought up a lil i just pinned it again. it really wasnt playing. then after 5 mins or so i see the m3's bright ass lights coming up pretty fast, im still in middle lane, so i waited till he got close nuff, went from 6th back down to 4th. pushed 4th well into redline, just before 7000, popped it into 5th. we are dead side by side, the broad in the passenger seat in his car was kinda rattled to see this 4 door staying beside this guys m3. i surprised myself, i thought that i was gonna get dusted soon as i put it in 5th. he wasnt stick i was sure of that. i let off for a sec to go behind him cuz of a car in my lane, then we went from the fast lane over to the slow lane to open it up again. was on his ass pretty nice, then it was my exit, so i just merged and a fast speed.

2nd encounter with a really nice/fast car. only other encoutner so far was a turboed golf, old style, and i he was at my back quarter panal in every gear. i had 4 pplz in my car, he was byhimself and he was gutted. one guy in my car was 6'4 250, others were no lighter then 180.

still confused tho why that m3 wasnt pulling on me, far as i know im stock, maybe its time for a boost gauge, see what is actually going on in there

thought id share, please spare the street racing bashing for someone else

im guessin u went against a older model E36 M3 with only 240HP

not to sure which one it was, it wasnt the old style m3, it looked like a newer one, it did have a soft top aswell

i did some searching, it wasnt an e36, thats the older body style. it was the newer style, with the vented fenders and all that

there is no automatic E46 M3 unless u count SMG
maybe your car is chipped you have the 2.7TT rite

I would like to play with a m3 sometime, def from a dig tho.

yea man 2.7tt

not sure if its chipped tho, im gonna get a boost gauge in like a couple weeks, got mad sh!t to pay for right now.

but i could be wrong, my bro told me it wasnt stick, but he doesnt know much about cars, i was more concentrated on the road and cars around me, i think we got to about 180-190kmh before i let off the first time

sounds like fun. i'd be afraid to mess up my clutch going from 6th to 4th, well i don't have 6th, because i have an A4, but you know what i mean. i like to baby my car, i guess....

kudos on the road racing though :)

i took my car up to 114 mph last night :) my new high speed

haha that musta felt nice

i dont think itd mess up nething aslong as u dont downshift to the wrong gear, i was in 6th doing about 110-120km, i kno my 3rd gear will hit about 150-160, so putting it into 4th at that speed i knew would have been alright. thats wat ive been told neways. someone will obviously flame if im wrong, so well wait for that lol

Ahhh,SamJamaica, u need to do some growing between the legs bro, my car saw that like the day i got it. Its cool tho, its stupid to go that fast, but its so much fun.

Maybe he wasn't really trying. Maybe he thought he had you, and let off. E46 will walk all over you.

thats what i thought. there was no way he wasnt trying, he could just not know how to drive, and could have been in a wrong gear or something, but i had my foot all the way down, and i wasnt budging, and he wasnt going ne where either. like not even a budge forward on either car, dead even, seemed we was parked side by side

Yeah, who knows... the verts are hundreds of pounds heavier than a regular M3... but still, 333 hp, and you said you're car was full of people. Even if you are chipped, your at like 310 or 320 hp right? And an a6 isnt light either...

So yes, my theory is that the m3 didnt bother downshifting.

overall how fast do you think both of you were going. turbo vs N/A. classic.

yea i dont think he down shifted either, cuz he flew right beside me, and when he was comin up to my rear, i downshifted 2 gears and pinned it, and it was neck an neck

meh *shrugs*

weird things happen now a days look Spence killed a 330 wit a SUV

I eva tell you guys about the time I wuz racing a 500SL in my Turbo Calibra? Head-to-head at around 280kph... We were neaded north on the A5 outta Darmstadt. Just a l'il south of Rhein Main, you know, where the A67 split is... Huh? But I wuz gonna... Oh. You don't care? I should just shut up? OK. <muttering> the older I get teh better i wuz...

last week i had a race with 2 other cars
Infiniti G35 coupe
a newer model Honda Prelude

it was a good race decent traffic i hit like 110mph i was racing the G35 first then the prelude played tag along but i was ahead the whole time. this was a tough race i had to weave like crazy to lose the prelude but the g35 was a weak driver and was falling back when the prelude joined in

LOL! well, the story started out ok, if that makes you feel better.....

I've told it before on here, a couple of times, I think...

I really need to line up next to an m3...so far with this set-up I dont have many cars under my belt, the only worthy one was my roomates big turbo wrx

haha ud prolly eat a m3 ritt, aslong as its stock tho

haha gotta love the highway digs thats my kind of racing

i love the freeway racing i cant win on strait aways but when theres a variable such as traffic i have a chance

See, that's what I was sayin in the "Danica" post. Then sum noob comes rainin all over my self-inflicted glory. The noive! Personally, I prefer Autobahn racing. Speeds and stakes are much higher when a minor slipup can leave a "debris field." 1/4 mile of car parts no bigger than your fist is a pretty interesting thing to roll up on. I used to play a l'il game I liked to call "read teh skidmarks." Trying to guess how many, who went where after hitting what. Skid markd here in 'Merica are mostly boring... and short.

A sick but strangely compelling visual....
