Raced an M3 Today.......

me and him were driving down a main road here in town, neck and neck, he'd go faster, I;d go faster...Anyway...We got to a stoplight and he was seperated from me by another car, but we pulled far enough forward to see each oterh...Green light, we both floored it, and he smoked the hell outta me. We only got up to the speed limit, well, I did, he kept going, but it was so cool.

I knew I hhad no chance, I just wanted to do it to be able to say "I raced an M3!"

[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]That would be much like EsineN trying to race the M3 with his Civic[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

The M3 has a 3.2L inline 6-cylinder engine with 333hp at a very Honda-like 7900rpm and 262 lb-ft of torque at 4900rpm. 0-62mph 5.1 seconds.

The Audi RS6 has a 4.2L biturbo V8 engine with 450hp between 5700 and 6400 rpm and 413lb-ft of torque between 1950 and 5600 rpm. 0-62mph in 4.7 seconds.

Edit: Which would you bet on in the real world?

Here we go again. The Audi would win for sure. But the M3 wins best looks for sure, and the sound of that inline 6 is way better than the rough growl of a biturbo. RS6 is daddy's WRX killer. M3 is see and be seen. And both would kick our Vic-*** so that better anyway.

Peace

Good stuff man, at least you wernt like some people that come on here and say the "SMOKED" it, even though they couldnt keep up with it let alone beat it. Must have been fun to try anyway. Hes no doubt on a website now telling a story of some punk that tried to beat him with his civic.

Yeah I just don't try racing anything anymore unless I'm sure I can beat it. I've been beaten by one too many cars.

If you race something with 4 times your engine you are sure to loose. If you want to win, race your similars (Jettas, Focus, Sentras, and the such).

Anyway, it is fun to see fast cars being driven like they should, and at least you get to enjoy the music coming out from a powerful engine.

Cars that can beat the M3? A corvette probably and the new supercharged svt cobra. Hey, not all the fast cars come in a european package...

I totally agree...the M3 would be my car and the RS6 would be the family cruiser[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]...that is, when I win the lottery

You should change the title of this thread to "got my @$$ kicked by an M3" then. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
Seriously though, those cars are mad fast. I think its somewhere around 4.7 0-60 and the 1/4 in 12.3 or something close to it.
