My S vs M3
Last night on my way to a friends I had a M3 come speeding up behind me, Typical BMW 2"'s off my bumper . The car infront of me turned off giving me an open road infornt. I dropped down to 3rd and put my foot down. The M3 didn't seem to be gaining on me, I was unsure if he was trying or not so, we came to a tight left turn that leads onto a dual carriage way, so I slowed down to just under 40mph. dropped into 2nd and floored it hard. The M3 was doing the same but it just couldn't pull on me. As we joined the dual carriage I had to slow down as it was busy, typical BMW TW*T just kept going he made it onto the dual carriage way and just kept going, he must of been doing well over 100MPH and just driving like a nutter, I'd prefer to keep my car, my life and licence so I joined the dual carridge way at 70-80mph knowing my

e46 or e36? guy sounds like an ass but should have ate you up if he was in an e46 m3. I seem to never understand why everyone is in such a hurry to get no where.

E46.
He was trying, I've been told that the M3 will eat the S over 100mph but up to then you stay pretty even. My S is stock but I have the JDM with a higher engine pressure and I run on high octaine fuel (97RON) I'm sure if the Dual carrige way was empty when we pulled on to it he would of started gaining over 100mph.

Congrat's on your Kill. Due to the pwr to weight and the short stent of the race, the Your S would be matched with the E46. But after second it's over. If given more road, the E46 would have easily have ran from you.
But in this race you had the lead and worked the E46's weak spot, and took a win.
Once again Congrats!

if the guy was trying he must have been a shitty driver. i own both an s2000 and m3 and the m3 will rip the s2000 apart in acceleretion. however, on the track the s2000 is a lot better car.

JDM Pistons are rated with a higher compression ratio, resulting in 250 PS instead of 240.
