    Default H/C LT1 > new m3

    Cruising the interstate home from work last week and I see some HID lights run up on me quickly and ride close behind me. Then I see him change lanes and roll up next to me and slow down. Dude rolls his window up and gives me a thumbs up and says it sounds awesome. So I tell him thanks and I like his car too (all blacked out new M3 with carbon fiber hood and trunk). He rolls his window back up and I hear him drop a gear and start to slow down. Game on. I slow to match and he honks it off from about a 50 roll (bad speed for me, too low for 3rd, too high for 2nd). I drop to 2nd and tag the rev limiter almost immediately, then shove it into third, I look over and he is already falling back. I wrapped it up through third, into 4th and shut down about halfway through. Look back and he is about 3 cars back. We get back to regular speed and he catches up again and gives me another big thumbs up. I let him go ahead so I could hear his car, and he did a quick pull so I could hear it. Man that thing sounded mean. Guy was cool about it, glad to see a euro guy give respect to an american car


    BTW this all happened on my road trip to Mexico last week

    Nice! Most BMW guys don't take losing too easily sounds like he was a pretty cool guy about it. Good kill!
