M3 vs testarossa

hi everyone, this is my first thread...

well anyway, i was with my dad in the M3,and we were driving down this straight dual carriageway near our house in the south of the UK.
i was talking to him about the exhaust upgrade he has and whether it actually makes any tangible performance difference, when i hear a faint high pitched motor noise.

it could only be a ferrari, with that mechanical exhaust note; it was a 512 testarossa driven by a couple of young guys (how lucky were they??). anyway, they pulled alongside our car, and audibly dropped a gear, so my dad (bless him, never thought he' take a challenge!) paddle shifted into third, and both cars hit it at the same time.

well the result was a convincing win for the M3! we stopped when we could see cars in the distance, my dad being one of the least reckless people i know.. unfortunately the ferrari turned off soon after, so i couldnt get another look at it

anyway, if this isnt interesting i apologise, but it was exciting for me at the time! and nice to see two fast cars racing rather than the vauxhall corsa's with huge exhausts i see all too frequently..
