I've had Camaros, Challengers, Chargers, G35/37s, to even a pesky Chevy Cobalt. The Colbalt clearly had blowoff valve and tin can exhaust. He just kept trying and trying on I-64 towards VA Beach. Each time I'd leave him and then finally slow back down on my trek and he'd keep coming back looking for more.

I agree, m3 is not that fast at all, unless its SCed of course. My car is SCed with catless exhaust, dct makes it scary fast. But when i see someone challenging me to race, i just smile and move out of their way. I get my itch on the race track |

It goes both ways. Some A$$hole in an M3 was riding my ass when I was in my Viper. I briskly accelerated and then this dude just starts going crazy weaving in and out of traffic almost crashing twice. I just hung back and watched it all happen.

Yessir it does... I get a lot of M3 and 335i drivers trying to race me often... but my usual route on the 110S freeway is notorious for CHP's hiding near or behind exits...

The whole issue of street racing aside, the M3 is just not a super fast car to be racing with. Yes, in the grand scheme of all cars, it is plenty fast, and fast enough for me, overall, but a modded Civic can outrun an M3. The beauty of the M3 is in the precision, balance, and subjective feel of everything.
On the other hand, I do have my modded S6 with 630lb-ft of torque and all wheel drive which will just plain send me into the next galaxy at a stop light drag.

I agree that the M3 isn't considered "fast" among other performance cars, but a civic would have to be pretty heavily modded to outrun an M3.

I don't rate the skills required compared to navigating a car around corners. And for this reason, I rate handling waaaaaay above straight out speed. |

straight line racing is very easy to do, and its fun when your car actually has some power. yes if i lived closer to a track, and my friends also tracked a lot there. I would love to track the M a lot more. they both have there fun moments. you can go watch tons of videos of people with dash cams pointed at friends, family, random girls etc.. having the time of there life doing high powered highway runs. |

It would be great to do! I live on Lake with about 6 mile distance around. Would love to set laps there with my car.

Drag racing actually involves a lot if skill. Highway pulls not so much. But launching perfectly is harder than you might think if you haven't done it. Go to your local track and give it a try so you can see for yourself.
Road course racing requires much more skill than drag racing. It's the guys who do freeway pulls and think they are drag racers who have the most to learn. |

Racing on the street (in any form) is too dangerous; not because I think I'll run off the road but because the environment is uncontrolled and someone can do something unexpected. On the track, everyone is aware of the situation. Anyway, I'm sounding like the Fun Police. I'm just saying I like corners (on the track) better than the straights.... |
