I went for a quick trip onto rt 208 on the wycoff stretch (russel ave area), and no one was around, except a mid 90's M3 Coupe, he pulls up next to me, so I downshifted from 6th to 5th to let him know I was aware of his presence. He hit it first, and I gave chase, for a couple of MPH we were neck and neck, and then at the top of 5th gear I started pulling on him, and put about a cars length (his front bumper was at my rear) and we both shut down. We paced for a few seconds, and did 2 downshift show offs, before he pulled off on the next exit.

Was a good run, but I was watching the road more then the speedo and tach.

3rd gear redlines just below 100 if you have 3.42s

was it a silver //M3 with tints, wide tires and looked slammed :?: .. because I raced one too [the day I got the TC and Tune done] :D

Raced from a dig [stop light] on Rt 46 and stomped it by about 6 cars to about 90 mph :drive: on a 50 mph zone :shock: .. and then got a fly-by :roll:
