I'm not surprised. We will walk the M3 from a roll at that speed. Good stuff.
I think the M3 is faster, especially from a roll.

Watch out for some of those 350Zs. I go to the 350Z meets, and there is a rather large number of Zs with forced induction, especially in southern california.

Hmm, I know I've ran a whole bunch of cars, especially early on, but can't seem to recall any details. Haven't done any runs recently though. I figure I rather just cruise in the freeway and have my fun in the canyons instead.

Recently i was so tight with a evo 9 from a roll on and he couldn't get some distance.
Does it count that i was blown off the street my an SLR?!
OMG!!! No other car left me standing like that. I knew of course it would pulverzie me but didn't think that the gap would be already to 200-300meters when i changed 3rd gear. Ahahaha it was hilarious.

Jeff = Jeffs. He posted his list on the original "Kills" thread. He had done quite a few mods, including some extreme things like headers and removing his cats--as I recall. Probably mostly after his list was posted. I haven't seen him around for a while.

I went back and read the original Kill thread where you posted a link to the M3 forum. They were discussing the 550 vs M3. Everyone there was in agreement that from a dig, M3 will win out. After that, opinions swayed everywhere. Some of the M3 owners believe that from a roll into the triple digits the 550 will win out. That is my belief as well. We do have a new member, bmw4life, that has in addition to a G35 a few e46 M3s. We can ask him to take his M3 to the next time we all get together. But, for July 30th he should bring his G35.

Got killed today by a brand new WRX STI

SO FRUSTATED RIGHT NOW @()#@!!**()@#

I posted up at a red light, north on Edinger, and Goldenwest.

Turned off DSC, light turned green, slammed it. It was maybe a little less than a quarter mile until the next light so I had to slow down but he was only a 1/4 car length ahead of me. I like how the car chirps shifting into 2nd tho, I think the 20's are slowing me down off the line.

There will be no more of this, I'm focusing on performance mods ASAP.

Ok, I'm done steaming.
