Default Wtf!!!

ok so im driving down the main blvd...in my sight i see a white 2010 BMW M3, so im behind him at the light and when it turns green he takes off like a granny. so as soon as i get some space i get next to him, and what do u know...YES!! A red light, we stop next to each other and he looks at me and gives me a nod , i nod back. so he is holding his rev pretty stedy and so am i, light turns green and we both take off even, first gear im on the tip of his fender close to his door, he shifts to second and im just finishin first so i gain ground, i slam it into second and gain about 4 feet on em, when he shifts to 3rd im still pullin on second, he is on my fender now, i shift to third and now im half car ahead until the end of my third gear i let off and we stayed like that until i finished my third....so wtf, i thought these ***** would be much faster, im proud of the bird right now, have zero loses so far....... Car had euro plates and the guy didnt seem from around here. i got next to him after making a U turn at a street and i told em "your car is fuking sexy" he said "yours too, good job.." said thanx and went on my way

No offense but I think that car needed a driver mod bad. Those cars are pretty quick, and I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that should have been ugly for you.

Yeah my assumptions were correct. I just googled them, they are rated at 415 horsepower and like 300 foot pounds. Then all he has to do is go have get a software update and run 11's solid. Those cars are bad.
