Not a surprise the M3 lost the drag race. Low end torque down the 1/4 mile is not its strong suit unless its been modified with F/I.
Equally not a surprise that it took the handling departments. What was surprising is that MB guy said his own forum wasn't backing him. That's gotta suck. If he won, it would have been a smack back at them, but him loosing only confirms their lack of faith in his abilities, or lack thereof. Someone already mentioned he was way too close to the steering wheel. Kind of looked like an old man driving position.
And to the OP: Anyone tell you that you kind of resemble Luke Russert? The late Tim Russert's son?
