Raced a BMW M3 again
 
Last time I raced one I didn't really know if my car was in the same league because of the way the race happened.

This time it was very clear. I was bored last night so I went cruising. When this blue E46 M3 gets in front of me at the stop light. After the light is green I drive down the intersection and get next to him. I had to do a couple of accelerations to get him to race a civic. But this one time, when I was doing about 80kmh (50mph). I gave a little throttle and its on. He was at my rear bumper when the race started. Second gear was dead even. I shifted into 3rd gear and I pull just a little. I check the gauges to see if everything is going right. And its time to shift into 4th gear. Half way in 4th gear I stoped. He was obviously not comming back and 160kmh (100mph) is fast enough on the street.

It was great!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D I ran pretty much dead even with a brand new US$ 47 000, 333hp BMW M3.

Sad thing is he would kill me off the line AND I still drive a civic. :(

Great race! I'll bet he was surprised when he couldn't catch a Civic! :cool:

I wish you had some videos of your car. I'd love to see it in action.

I only have the video of my 1/4 time.

I think you guys already saw it.

Great run! Your car must run really strong to be up there with an E46. Makes me feel kind of happy now as well :)

Nice kill! I bet the look on his face was priceless. Keep up the good work its nice to see a fast civic that looks good (no body kit or stickers).
