Raced a M3 last night...

Heading home from a bar last night and no I wasnt drinking, I raced my buddies 2002 M3. That sucker is pretty fast. We both got on it at 65 on the freeway and I had half a car lenghth on him and then I tried to shift into O/D and my truck was being stubborn and started to defuel. I think I could have kept pulling (very slowly) but my dumb tps is out of wack.

The "M" series BMW's are street legal race cars. All the way to the suspension and brakes. The older ones were only 240hp but the newer ones are 333hp (M3) and the new M5's are around 500hp. Just what I need a 500hp family sedan with race car suspension. I really really wanted the M3 but my friends talked me into the Dodge. I like the Dodge but the handling of the M is amazing. You may beat him on a drag strip if he is stock but don't even consider a road course, he'll eat you for lunch.
