Which car is faster?

It's a standard model sold by the company a r-tune is not.

It's the internet. People lie.
You need to learn how to write then. That's not how it sounds when I read it. Anyway, if you shifted to 4th, the M3 could have shifted to 4th or whatever gear, as well. It makes no sense. Your run against him is only comparable if you're both in the same gear and know you're racing. Other wise, it means nothing.

I dont know what gear he was in. I simply said had I gone to 4th instead I would have pulled away from him in the beginning.

Thank You. Do I hear another +1?

M3 is better in straight line... don't know which is actually better on the track. Probably those drivers in M3 beaten by Z cars in test tracks were all starters ?? . Actually I have also seen z beaten by M3 in video. Other than that, M3 is a nice looking car although from certain angle or position it could be mistaken as a civic coupe, and that's the only problem with M3.
