Default S2k VS E36 M3 to 140miles

me and my buddy who has e36 M3 took our car out HWY...
we both had one passinger, and my car was top down.

1st race....
40 mile punch~ upto 100mile
Dead even....

2nd
60mile punch~ upto 130miles.
Dead even upto 100mile and he slowly walked me....
i guess because my top was down...


3rd
High speed conering...( big wide)
we were both 120ish....
as i was turning the coner~ i almost lost control...
my car's ass lost control twice...~
that's why i let my gas go bit..

But M3?? it was turning nicely...
by the end of turn he had me by 2car length

i guess s2k is too light for high speed conering
i know s2k is good for low speed tight conering... but not for high speed...


hey M3 is no joke~
don't understand ppl saying m3 can't keep up in coner~

the s2k becomes soo light at the tail , you feel its about to slip!
DONT shift gears while this is happening, a friend crashed his because of that

It's all about driver control. And next time you want a proper race, put the damn top up. Geez!!! Simple concept!

Hitting curves at 120 = STUPID

My sister-in-law's friend just got out of the hospital from trying to do 90 around a curve on the street....

what i'm saying is s2k is too light, and it just wants to fly out~ in high speed conering...
No, what's happening is that you do not have the capaiblity to control your car at high speeds and you are endangering other people on public roads by doing said speeds and driving beyond your limit.
