Talking Killed an M3

Yesterday night I was driving home through 6 pm traffic . At a red light, this dude gets behind me and is revving. (Probably due to my license plate). when it hits green, I drive normally and he starts revving the hell out trying to intimidate. He gets besides me and slams the accelerator. I usually dont race during this horrible traffic but decide to do it anyway. So at the next light we line up. as soon as the light turns green, I slam the accelator. I start spinning for about 3 sec. I look over and he is grinning. AS soon as I hook, I blow right past him. By the time we hit 60 mph I am about 4 carlengths ahead. I slow down and he says he didnt have any traction. :roll:. I remind him to go back to the light and look at my lane. (I laid about 10 ft of rubber on the road) The look on his face was priceless as I blew past him.
I love our cars. !!

PHP Code:
By the time we hit 60 mph I am about 4 carlengths ahead. 
E46 M3's ain't no joke....2002 BMW M3 4.7 13.4

I believe him i know a M3 that has a header, Highflow x-pipe, and some other little **** he said it was stage one. Anyways my friends rx-7 that traps around 112 walks the M3 pretty badly especially in the high end.

You can flame all you want I wont mind But It wasnt a newer model. like I said I didnt get a chance to talk to the guy. It might be 1998. The paint was a little on the dull side.

E46 M3s are pretty quick.... But E36 or E46 this guy would have taken one. With bolt ons and a TC he'd have a newer M3 from a light any day of the week.

Nice Kill!


And do not let any of the get you down.




BTW, if any doubt I can say I raced a NEWER M3 from a 60 roll to 100 and had close to a car on him AND I do not have a TQ and this was before my headers and catback.

If this was an older M3 I think 'BlackEcho' would have raped him from a dig.
