Default I was left in 5th thinking what the hell?

I was on my way home from work the other morning in the S2k following a new M3 CSL as i went to go past him, he shifted into neutral reved at me and left me standing, as pulled as hard as i could i began to catch him up, i came behind him and the women sitting next to the driver in the M3 waved me goodbye, he shifted down a gear and left me standing !!!

I've had drags with M3's before and they've left me but not like this guy !! How much more power does the M3 produce??????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????



- it flew !!!!!!!

I don't know about the CSL's (too lazy to find out right now) but the european models (I think) have 343 hp (or something of the sort) and can pull 0-60 in 4.7, quarter mile in 13 flat. I would have to say that he was supercharged or just modded in general. At what speed did this happen?

M3's and RS4's..... Both cars should be substantially faster than an S2000.
