First kill in my new M3!
Got my first kill tonight (only second day of driving the car) in my new (to me) 564 rwhp M3. Info on the car can be found here:http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=185391
I was peacefully tooling along highway 6 (in Mexico, of course) about to turn left onto hwy 59 South when I came upon a modded STI (as evidenced by the very loud and ginourmous exhuast can) running next to a new Vette. I turned my DSC off and followed behind the Vette (which was on the left of the STI) and passed both on the left. I was in fourth and tapped the left SMG paddle shifter which makes a wonderful noise as it downshifts....a clear challenge.
The Vette was not interested but the STI was right on my tail as I entered the 6 lane freeway that had very little traffic. I held 3rd gear at a steady 4.5K rpm as the STI came up on my left at WOT!
As soon as his nose was even w/ my door I punched it and shifted at about 7.5K RPM. Bam BAM the SMG went through 4th and 5th gear whereupon
I shut her down at 155. The STI was 6 lengths back by then.
The best part about the whole thing is that the poor STI owner most assuredly thought the results would be the opposite. The BMW is totally stock looking...even the badging has been removed. I am sure that he would not have taken up w/ my GT2....the M3 is the perfect sleeper for fun w/ unsuspecting travelers of the night.
Fun times.

Nice kill but than again stis really shine when going from a dig. M3s are fast cars but have difficulty going from a stop. If it wasn't for the traction issues i would of been all over the m3.

I'm sure its damn fun, half the experience in the car was through the loss of traction LOL
