Did you power shift to chirp the tires or just slipped the clutch? Cool story.

When we left the Coconut Creek meet, sure enough there was a Mustang GT racing his motor at the stop light, Miss Betty say NO, so I let him go. What's up with the Stang GT, that's the 4th one that wanted to play.
You were at the meet? Which person were you? Yes; dying here.

That's what I'm talkin about. I need more of this kind of post to hold me over while I'm waiting for my car to arrive.

M3 ? are you sure? was it a convertible ? because they are like way heavy (3700 lbs)?

I'm going to try that at the next open track event. "I stayed in second place because the first place finisher's car sounded so sweet I didn't want to pass."

That's hilarious.

Be careful out there...

The car inspires this kind of behavior - you'll get more posts. Hell, my Z gets challenged when it's PARKED. A guy in his 60-something Camaro with 4-foot-wide tires and frame-bending torque pulled up behind my parked Z, admired it for a moment, then, in my quiet little neighborhood, dropped his clutch, spun his tires, and went full throttle for 100-or-so feet.

I'm pretty sure that bad boy has self-esteem "issues".

You'll find yourself wanting to stop for gas every 50 feet
so yet another someone can come up to you and say how "cool" you are and what impeccable good taste you have (ooh! it's so hard to be humble but somehow I manage)

I was curious how the Z would stack up against an M3.

Of course everyone wants to race! It's the new sportscar - everyone wants to know how fast it is!

(Myself included - watch out for Red ZXTTs at lights!!! ;-)

why is it that everyone got on my *** for "attempting to keep up" with an NSX in my Integra?
punks.


Oh BTW, awesome with the M3 work...that new autoshift transmission will probably kill us at the track though...

Cool. I was wondering how the Z would do against the TT. I have a Stealth TT (92, 300 HP). Was it a newer GT 3000 (i.e. the one with 320 HP)? Must have been the turbo lag.

It had to be an E36 M3...since they dont make an auto E46 M3.
