Default Results of my race with M3

Well, I'm selling my GT.

That's right, I lost.

I am SO mad right now.

This is how it went down:

As I'm waiting for the arrival, I take out my backseat and spare tire just to be safe. The guy with the M3 comes over along with the guy I know, Paul, who set up the race. I asked the guy if he really wanted to run me, cause I was sure I'd win. He seemed real eager, so we headed out to the spot, followed by 8 other guys in a couple cars who all wanted to see me take down this import with my domestic muscle.
I said we'd go from a roll, because with my new 4.10's I get NO traction till like 25mph. He agrees, and we line em up, and start off easy till 25mph. I let him get the jump and he pulls an easy 2 cars on me while I spin to 35mph. Finally my tires catch with a loud chirp, and I start to reel him in, quick . I pull to his back bumper and that's where it stays until I let off at 110. I couldn't pull any further. When the M3 and I turn around and go back to the lot to wait for the caravan of guys, I was steaming mad. I thought, "He HAS to have something in there!"
All the guys were shocked I lost, and the M3 guy was real cool about it. I asked him how big a shot he was spraying and he said, "Man, it's BONE stock." I checked under his hood and in his trunk and he wasn't lying. WTF?? Motortrend got a 14.2 out of their M3. I went 14.4 before gears, chip, C&L maf, and Throttle body. Is it possible I only gained a tenth from all that? Anyway, I'm seriously done with power mods to my car. I might get a dynotune just to check and see what could be wrong, but I'm not putting any more money into the engine. I've spent $3K in mods, and the car is still close to where it was stock. I shouldve just put on a blower in the first place.

BTW, the M3 raced a 97 Z28 automatic with cold air, Borla exhaust and chip, next and beat that car by the same margin as me. I raced that Z28 when he was stock and I had mufflers and K&N and I beat it by 1 carlength.

I'm interested to hear what you all think?
