So I was headed down PCH when I see and hear a nice looking Black E46 M3, and as I pull up to the light he gives a quick rev to which I respond. Light goes green and we both spin, I got a crappy launch, but it is the E36 in front.. going into third I had at least 3 cars on him and pulling. We get to the next light and he says "I want a do over" I laughed and gave him the thumbs up... Green light and I get a better launch and I guess so does he because the outcome is still the same, Old School out in front. He has his GF ask at the next light what is in that thing??? supercharger???... I give them both the thumbs up to the question and a wave as I make my turn. It was a fun little run and by the looks on their faces I think they were shocked....
His mod were at least CF hood, CAI, and exhaust... nice rims and tires, and I can only guess what else

Nice run Mo!

I would keep them guessing as to what you had under the hood. Beauty of the EHP TS is the near silent blower noise... What's the diff ratio you have on your Euro-6 speed if I might ask?

the stock 3.23... I really like the freeway rpms right now but I might go to a 3.46??? I am worried about traction, it is a problem even now with the 3.23's

Sweet ride man... the last time I dyno'ed I put down 340/290 but I had a few issues which I have since worked out and it is much better now so I am thinking 360ish.. wont know for sure till the next dyno day but all the bugs are gone and the car runs great...freeway runs would be cool, I do have the six speed so I think I will be able to keep up....:drink1

edit: I just saw the 3.91 rears on your car... that might hurt your freeway running???

Does youre 3.91 have the M-Lock properties? I don't think that's the right term. But, I'll assume you know what I'm talking about.

i think that it's so cool that this community is so widespread that you can race somebody random on the street and then talk about it on the forum, and the person you raced is part of that forum too haha that's awesome

It's getting there... think about it, 2nd generation M3, we're already going on the 4th generation M3 some of the E36 M3's out there are 12 years old... that's not new school.
