ok.. so my last car was a civic hatch with a stock motor, so i wasnt used to beating anything but tercels.... but now ive got the WRX.... just broke the 1500 mile mark and ive gotten a good 'kill' in the stock wrx:

M3, late 90s bmw m3 with mirror tints and "m3 power" written everywhere was punching the throttle and weaving in and out of traffic on a small 4 lane street..... i followed suit slowly and when traffic cleared i punched it in high second and blew past him and stayed there for the next few blocks while he held back and made alot of noise..... all i ever hear about is how fast m3s are how they can spin the wheels at any time etc etc etc so i really wanted to test this guy.... he was in the lane behind me... but we were still on the small road so i wasnt speeding or anything, just keeping him behind me while obeying all laws.,... anyway

i pull into the next lane and wait for him to pass, as soon as he did, i got right back behind him and prayed that he was gonna get on the highway.... sure enough he did and threw a big downshift onto the ramp showing his exhaust off and makin a ton of noise....... i left it in second on the on-ramp where i would normally be in third.... i was hanging around 4500 rpm i think

as we got on the highway he tried to take off but i was right on him and had to hold back so i didnt hit his rear bumper.... i totally expected him to take off like a bat out of hell but he couldnt..... and then....................... he tried to shift and made a horrible sound (mishift or something) and as soon as he got it in gear i was passing him,

he had a girl in the passenger seat which made it better, and his arms where in the air after he got the car back in gear in disgust....!!! ha ha ha i justed pulled and pulled and pulled until finally i closed it down at 80 and he pulled on me, and then i had to get off the highway and go back hom becuase i passed my house just so i could follow and race this m3 with silver mirror tints and "m3 power'' i guess its safe to say that i t wasnt a real m3 too bad i cant tell the diff with the older ones



im just used to driving a civic so the thought of beating a fast car is sick~!


next up is my three friends fast ass hondas:
worked type r
worked b16 in an EG hatch
and a worked b16 in a CRX

those three im gonna wait for until i can launch better... i just had to join in and share a story

You won't want to see a real E36 M3 at the track. COM has reclassified the E36 into SSGT with WRX's. I suspect you've beaten a rebadged 318is.....SSB class....or at best a 325is....SSA.

There is a big differene between a 90's M3 and the current 330 hp one. The old M3's weren't that fast, around 220 hp IIRC. Back then BMW's were underpowered compared to the 330ci, so I guess the M3's were relatively fast then. But I suspect the stories you have heard about the M3's awsome performance were about the current beast.

There is also that chance that it was a rebadged 325. I actually knew some girl that did that. Pathetic. If that was the case good job! If that wan't the case, good job!

the e36 ///M's were still pretty fast, most pulling off an average stock time of 14.0 give or take a few tenths. but i wouldn't know how they do in a highway battle. but thank god it wasn't the E46 cuz my sister's b/f just got one. it's the paddle shifter version, if ya know what i mean, and it still smokes my stock 03 by a lot.

Lets see here, I dont much care for M3's cause I cant afford one. So I think why not make my scooby faster than that 50,000 dollar car. Sounds good? So I did. One day while in college I get a call from a cousin askin what I was doing. I explained and then he just blurted out "M3, we have cocky young kid and he wants to race it". So I did what any other respectful scooby (not stock) driver would. I told my professor an emergency came up and went on my way. I picked up my best friend which also has a blue scooby that is .5 faster than mine at the track. My subaru is running 13.2 with me behind the wheel. So we finally arrive at the meeting spot and find a bunch of rich moma's boys with there cars that mommy and daddy bought for them. I recognized half cause I had beaten half of those pathetic IS 300 and stock S4's.

Seeing a stock looking scooby everyone made fun of my round head lights and stock look. No sooner were people coming up to me and beting me everything from cell phones to hundreds of dollars. I of course made myself seem like I didnt know better than to talk trash with a plain scooby and boy did everyone fall for it that didnt know. We got lined up and sent some people around where the quarter mile marker would be to see who wins. Sure enough everyone went down there to see.

After the first launch this car was not even close because of the massive burnout he did. So I went back not to show off what I had yet. The second race was better we both launched well but slowly the scooby pulled away. A car length and a half. The third race instead of launching at a specific RPM I kept the turbo spooled and launched about a second after him to give everyone a run for there money but rocked him by 2 car lengths.

I returned to the place where everyone had been standing to collect on all of my goods. As I did so I came back to find everyone that bet me didnt even wait for me to come back. They ran faster than a track star running away from a dog.

VERY nice Evil. I know what you're talking about with the spoiled kids and their luxury cars. Some cocky kid tried to run my boy's turbo prelude on the Garden Sate Parkway in a stock IS300 and got smoked by at least 5 cars at only 100 MPH then we backed off... Ricer fly-by came in a few seconds of course. But you can't hate on M3's just because you can't afford one. They're priced so high because of luxury and elegance. You have to love that.
