VTEC > M3
Where I live, there is this thing called "The Cruise". It happens every month, and the basic gist of it is that dickheads all meet in the mcdonalds car park and rev their engines for about 6 hours before going home and declaring the night a complete success. Outside the mcd's, there is about 400 meters of straight road that all of them race down. Most of them are driving little ricecan type-r's that sound like they're about to take off. Several times I've been caught next to them in the lights, on my way home from wherever I've been.
Several times I've left them in my dust. Fucking vspec. Vorsprung durch Technik, bitches

i'll talk in terms of cars you understand.ToxicBug wrote:The new Z06 and the Ford GT are pretty much the only american cars that can handle, so they are exceptions. Got any other ones?Nightshade wrote:Do you EVER tire of saying stupid things? A Corvette Z06 that can pull over a full lateral G is useless in a bend? Jesus, just shut the fuck up already. You've proven time and again that you have NO FUCKING IDEA what you're talking about.ToxicBug wrote: Actually that integra has a track setup, its not a drag car. Plus, the Integra Type R was manufactured as a very serious track car in mind, it handles like a beast. With handling mods and all the extra power, it would be interesting to see who won on a track, it should be pretty damn close. After all, we're not talking about a Mustang GT here or some other useless-in-a-bend american car, lol.
the '04 svt Focus beat the '04 civic Si at willow springs race track by almost a full second when R&T tested them.
ahh... looks just like the I-10 near my brother's house in destin.andyman wrote:It was on 275 south in Tampa, coming back from the Bodies exibit at the museumDr_Watson wrote:that photo taken on I-10 near Pensacola?andyman wrote: which reminds me...

The dude shifted twice in the short little time they were "racing" meaning he was more than likely in first gear. The guy driving the BMW either didnt shift at all or has an automatic. Not to mention the fact that the video is shot from the losing vehicle but still made it on the internet...
Toxic: they were not racing.
http://forums.montrealracing.com/showpo ... stcount=32That is my car in the video. I'm sorry, but I can't read all of the French replies. Yes, that was an M3. Yes, he had downshifted. Yes, he did get on it.
for fucks sakes, read that thread. Lots of people thought they weren't racing. That ITR has 231whp, it probably runs mid-high 12's, OF COURSE it can demolish a stock M3. Btw, Bitwise, there are no automatic E46 M3's, that one was SMG.
its a flappy-paddle enabled automatic.

Huh, I've never, ever seen an S3 in Montreal. Where exactly do u live? got pics of ur car?Quadhore wrote:There are plenty of Audi S3's in America and canada, but you might miss them if you're in a honda.

Toxicbug,

The EJ6 was my second car and my dad bought it for me without asking me first. My first car was a manual MX-3 (which was my own choice) and my current car is a manual Sentra (which ones my own choice, again). Any questions?duffman91 wrote:Toxicbug,
