German presision vs american muscle *and lard*

[TerminalVelocity]

the heavy bird strikes again.

I'm on the freeway, crusin along at 80 when I get buzzed by an M3 Z3, well I HAVE to get a better look So I follow him for 10 miles or so untill were both in a long straitaway with no cars for at least a mile *seemingly...* So I gun it and let off, he pulls alongside, downshifts *car jerks and you can hear it* and we both go for it from 80 on. I pull slowly on him untill 80 when I start pulling twice as hard, we reached somewhere over 120 before we got close to other cars, I had a length on him, making me very happy. After we cleared the traffic, he stayed at least 20 cars back nomater what speed I went

Side adventure, it rained bad, a taho with swampers spun the tired on a turn and obviously wasnt satified with it, ,so he kept going, ,spun out, smacked a curb, it was great watching it :hehe:

Nice kill TV. keep it up until you find the asshole who plauged my night before thanksgiving.......

My friend Justin just got a 97' M3 with 28,000 mi. for $22,000! He lives out in Ponte' Vedra, ya' know where they play the TPC Sawgrass...Golf if you didn't know. Super high class + a bunch of old people. They had it , and did not want it any more so he took it off their hands. Well, stole it! I can't wait to race him!:alien2: <---I had to use that smily bacause no one ever does.

An M3 Z3? Was it a 3 series or the roadster? Those M3s are muscle in their own right, very torquey

Nice killage.

[-The Stig-]

I was going to bring that up... No such thing as a M3 Z3 hehe.. Its either or.

for some reason I just cant see a BMW losing to a highway match... but whatever.

[Cbass]

There is the M roadster, which is the Z3 roadster with M3 drivetrain, and other various upgrades...

I can see a 5.0 liter Thunderbird cooking a 2.0 Z3 on the highway, no problems

An M3 or M roadster OTOH, is a very different story.

there ya go

didnt have z3 badges, just recognised it, I dont know bmw well But it did have the m badging...show me pics and I will tell you yes or no to that it was if you doubt me

and redneck, you dont think my car camn beat anything, so to you

[94svt5.0]

Redneck is just jealous. You know he secretly slobbers for a nice T-bird. Good job on wasting the M3.

[-The Stig-]

... Me jealous of his Thunderbird? Hardly... maybe if it was when he first got it... like when it had interior. But now... nope.

And why is it I dont think your car can beat such vehicles... cause Thunderbirds are not race cars. Thus i'm skeptical.

Your story makes little sense... let me point this part out.

So I gun it and let off, he pulls alongside, downshifts *car jerks and you can hear it* and we both go for it from 80 on. I pull slowly on him untill 80 when I start pulling twice as hard, we reached somewhere over 120 before we got close to other cars, I had a length on him

You state... you started the race at 80mph. Then you slowly pull on him till 80mph then you pull twice as hard till 120mph.

80mph to 80mph... To me seems like... a very very short race. Or he wasnt trying.

Please explain to me that... then I'll most likely shut up.

Oh and technically you raced a Domestic not an Import... Z3's are built in South Carolina.

[RACER D12]

TV did it have a long nose with seats towards the back if it did thats a Z3 if it didnt than it was a M3. I find it hard to beleave that you beat him but what ever s!#t happens, and you were probably more experienced than him so... ok maybe im not going to be one of those S2k people

[DemonZX]

Yeah, I say we just let this one go. But, then again who am I to say!

[-The Stig-]

Well lets figure it out hehe :sun:

It look like this M3?

This car is debateable, 333hp with 3400lbs. Compared to your 240hp and 3600-3700lbs. I feel he should win. A 99 M3 could run a low 14 with only 240hp, a 01-02 M3 with 333hp would be a high 13 second car.

It look like this Z3?

I can see this loosing. Although it does run a high 14.

Or was it a M Coupe?

I cant see this loosing, 315hp 3100lbs. Unfortunately I think it would kick the Bird in the teeth then laugh at it... not to mention many other cars. I mean its a high 13 second car... c'mon!

And yes, I know quarter mile times mean nothing in a highway race but it does give a good idea of the cars potential.

[DemonZX]

guy I used to work with had a M roadster. He let me drive it a couple of times. But, the owner of the company I worked for bought a Z8! Yeah! Let me take it for a spin with him of course!

If anbody doesn't know what a Z8 is:

[Cbass]

Lucky bastard!

I dunno, the older M roadster had 240hp, and at highway speeds, TV's bird wouldn't really be at a disadvantage. He's got the 3.08 gears, so that helps him as well.

A new M3, OTOH, with it's 333hp engine...

[TerminalVelocity]

beaten the first one twice so far on the freeways,the second it was, but with m badging?....show me m badges *yes, I know he could have just canged the badges who knows*
