Default ME S2000 Vs E46 M3 I guess a Legend

I was driving back from Disney Land wanted to get back home quickly because I have to be at work the next morning. I was speeding but nothing crazy about 80-85 trying to get back to my area. I pass a legend and the car started to speed up. I was like whatever but I will go a little faster but nothing crazy. Then I notice a M3 that I was about to pass and I was like hmmmm whatever because I really didn't have any chance against a M3. When I pass the M3 it kinda jolted slightly probably a downshift so I was like damn. I didn't want to push my car hard but I was like okay. I downshifted to 5 because I was already going about 95 and started to hit VTEC. I was hopping it was enough to get me through traffic but with luck would have it there was no traffic. I was doing all right and I guess the M3 didn't want to pass or couldn't because we are already doing about 120. Trying to pass at 120 and increasing require a large amount of HP. There was slight traffic coming up and I had to go back to the slow lane so I wouldn't be held up. But the M3 decided to go the easier route and took the carpool. But I realize even if he followed me there was a clear road after that. I gave up and slowed down. The legend (basically gone during the little run finally came back to my rear view mirror) wanted some so I was like at least I can beat this. The connection for the 57 going on to the 60 to Los Angeles was coming I was thinking maybe I should show what the s2000 made for. I took the turn at 92 at the mid of the apex. The legend fell very far behind. I started to drop my engine revs back down so it can cool down.

95 M3. The car was nice espcially on the freeway. The s2000 is not great in high speed turn but in low speed maybe kept under 60 the car feel great. The M3 felt nice and solid but I had full suspension on it so that might be why. Top end speed the M3 pulled nice but low speed the s2000 feel good.
