Default 1st M3 Kill

First decent race since my 3.73 install. The M3 was 97 and had cat-back and 4.10's (according to the driver) I thought they were faster. We pulled up side by side at a light when I was heading over watch my nephew. We both nailed it. I spun the half way thru first and he got a good jump I started reeling him in right away. I shut down around 100 and had a car on him. He followed me to my sisters and he chated for awhile. I knew he had some type of exhaust because it was way too loud to be stock. He said he had a B&B test pipe which eliminate the cat( I guess similar to a ORY pipe for or fbods) and borla cat-back never the less it sounded like ***. Then he followed that up with 4.10's. He did go through the gears pretty fast. All in all the car was very good looking ride and the guy was cool as well. I just thought M3 had a little more than that. Maybe I don't give my car enough respect.
