Any one challenge you?
While driving your M3 do you get people who want to race at a stop light or while on the freeway?

these threads fail every time, no one wants to get flamed for talking about racing on public roads. . .circa BMWPRINCE4LIFE no one really likes talking about it much.

A few weeks ago some douche in a 997 GT3 tried to race me in Irvine near the In-N-Out on Campus. Had a CLS550 and a EVO X try and race me as well driving in from Vegas on the I-15, somewhere after Rancho Cucamonga. I didn't take the bait, not really a street racer, but I do tend to drive quickly anyway so they might have got the wrong idea.

Some guy in an IS350 seemed to think he could crush me, he floored it after a couple of lights. I pretended like I was going to race grannied it to the speed limit then stopped. Haha, my guess is he thinks he slaughtered me.

I get challenged all the time... Evo's, Lambo's, Ferrari's, Ford GT's, M5's, Audi R8's, Bentley Continentals, Maserati's, Aston Martins, 997 Turbo's, even G37's... all those cars are a dime a dozen out here in Pacific Palisades/Malibu. I don't even flinch.. no street-racing for me... period!
Reasons: nothing to prove : respect for life : not safe : not worth the punishment... end of story. Back when I was young and had a Supra I raced Tom Cruise (he was in his NSX at the time), he creamed my ass. I always see John Mayer in his Baby Blue Ford GT around town.. as well as Dean Cain in his Yellow Lambo, the cars around here are RIDONKULOUS!

I used to see him every morning at the same traffic light so one day I decided to floor it, I must have been around 18-19 yrs old.

Had a Cobra pull up next to me at a light yesterday...the road goes out in the country, with no sideroads for about 1/2 mile, so I figured wtf.
He guns it at the green and I hear his tires chirping for grip...I floor it (in S6 -- no LC). I get about 2 lengths on him right off the bat. The M has great grip in first! I race through the top of 3rd gear and he backs out of it. He did not gain on me at all, and I would pull on him a bit at the top end of my gears. Pretty fun....LC should be online today too!

I dunno but an M3 challenged me on the 405 the other day a Jerez black metallic E90 sedan looked lowered I didn't pay too much attention. He just crept up behind me and stomped on it without warning and at first I was playing catch up then some cars got in my way so I said fuck it. He just gave me a thumbs up for catching up quickly I guess. One day I'll get a good run in.

So far two M5's, an E63, Sl55, and yesterday a Gallardo. The Gallardo was barely faster and if I had not skrewed up off the line it would have been fairly even. The early gallardo's are not as quick as I thought.
