Default M3 vs GTO vs me = owned

so somehow, conencidentally, me, a newer (unmodded) m3, a newer modded gto pull up to a stop light

as soon as each of us look over, we know its a race, and im pretty sure im screwed

as soon as the light turns green BAM im the first off the line, with the m3 pullin, the gto for some reason wasnt as fast off the line (mabey no traction) the m3 pulls ahead of me pretty soon, and the GTO f'ing flies past me continuing on with the m3, passing the m3

meanwhile im about 2 bus lengths behind, the gto kept pullin, but damn those m3s are fast


so basically i got effin owned!!! that was kinda my first "real" street race, other ones have just been vs slow civics and cavaliers n stuff

it was hella fun even tho i lost

that gto was prob a brand new one i think gt's can beat the gto model with only 350 hp i think its an 04 or sumthing seeing as they weigh 4000lbs just my thinking though the new 05 and 06's have 400 plus them u ahve no chance against

nice race, yeah that was prob an 05 gto, I've seen them at the track run low 13's stock, and the new M3's have 333hp, do 0-60 in 4.7 and run the 1/4 in 13.3, so you were doomed from the start, but that makes it fun!

HEHEHE....I know...you can have a really bad ride, but if you cant drive it, its worthless...I raced an 04' vette this afternoon, and after "2" lights worth somehow I was neck and neck with the guy. He should have beat me period...My girlfriend was crapping in her pants...she almost was in tears she was so scared..hehe I felt bad, I had to promise never to race with her in the car again after this round. But it felt soooooo good....

It was either an auto, or he couldnt drive. That vette would of smoked your *** if they knew how to drive it.

I took a brand new 04 z06 out one time to fill it up with gas for work. First gear redlines at 55mph and it sure pushes your lungs into your spine. I floored the car off the line to 90 mph and I still had some gear left in 2nd. granted a z06 has 405hp and its 100 more than a regular pre-style vette, but they are the same cars. I was like...

EXACTLY: I quote myself "I raced an 04' vette this afternoon, and after "2" lights worth somehow I was neck and neck with the guy. He should have beat me period..." I dont think it was an auto, I think he was a rookie driver, had to be, none the less any time you can do that epecially when you know you should get beat, its always alittle more exciting to me for some reason...

Yeah, the German's do make some damn fine cars.

I was on the freeway the other day and some young hot *** blonde chick (maybe 22 or 23) in a Mercedes SLK55 AMG comes flying up next to me and paces me for a while and then she would speed up, then slow down......so she wanted to race.....anway, she looked over at me and so I kicked it down to 3rd gear and I'm assuming she down shifted also.....we both took off like crazy....a few seconds after I shifted to 4th I shut it down and she took off. We were pretty even when I slowed down, but I'm pretty sure she would have walked me pretty good if we would have kept going....I think those cars are rated at 355hp or something and I'm sure it's lighter than my car......it sucked cause that was the first car to try an race me since I got the mach, and she had a faster car! ha ha ha.....oh well, she was hot though!
