Default S2k vs E-46 M-3

Ok so I am on I-485 and I see a white convertible E-46 M3. Well I slowly pull up to him to admire the beautiful car(reminiscing over my old m3 I owned) when I pressed the clutch in to give him a light rev to about 8 grand! Surprising enough he does the same so I proceeded I gradually downshifted to 2nd upon which he had followed to do the same. Well at about 50 mph or so he kicks it were I followed by kicking it to. Now that I shifted in 3rd he's about a fenders length in front of me (that as far as he gets away) were going about 75 now were I start to pull nicely now looking at his headlights get closer to mine. Finally took it to 4th at about 95 were I am about a fender in front of him and by the time I got I hit about 110 were the race ended I had about 1 car lengths in front of his... I must say a very GOOD race!!!~nate

That's awesome!!!!! I rode in your car when you just had your EMS in and it was suprisingly fast. Can't wait for the cams to be in!!! I want another ride.
