E92s a nice car but to sum it up:

BRING IT! I have to say, this little M3 really is a sleeper. It surprises me everyday I drive it. 4.7 is not a far reach for this little gem, especially now.

I-95 south from the Lincoln Tunnel exit to 15W is a straightaway. At 3AM there's nobody there.

I was in an almost identical accident with a friend of mine about 20 years ago and the only reason he wasn't arrested was because no one would admit to racing and no one pressed charges.

Yes..

i feel that 0-60 times are not the best representation of how fast a car is......it involves both traction and speed. some cars like STIs and EVOs have excellent 0-60 times b/c of their gearing and AWD setup......i think trap speeds are more indicative of how truly fast a car is....all IMO of course

I think you are absolutely correct. That is why I said, no 0-60 from light to light. I said short bursts.. CH and I know each other well. He knows where I am coming from..

Oh no we are. I am really impressed with the e92. Doesn't have the torque my ML63 does or the c63, but it is light, quick, and now that I've added a few upgrades, quick as snot!

No1 was hurt it was a fun race, I havn't done something like this since I was 19 which was about 4 years ago. Neway on the title I clearly wrote (traffic race) SO WHY DID YOU PEOPLE CLICK ! Mind your business if you don't like the idea.

I don't want to be looked at as ***hole cauz im really not, I got a little too excited and something happened that should not have happened. I apoligize to everyone that I offended.

Why you taking back you words now? Whats done is done. Dont go back and change your words for others.
You need to stand behind everything you write.
Summary:
You are a woman for retracting all your prior statements. Sell the g37 and get a kia rio if you really mean what you said .

BoT Gondon aa...

My money is on the M5, especially from a roll, your M3 will get murdered. Light to light isn't ricer, it is a good indicator of how well the driver can hook up and how fast his car is from a launch. In your case digg gives you better chance to win.

You guys should get this on video.

Who's taking back there words, some ppl got offended and I didn't realize that they would. Only person I don't take back anything to is the guy wishing for me to crash. What happened happened and thats that. The onez who weren't offended enjoy and the onez who didn't I apoligize to. I don't post my experience to upset anyone but only to entertain and obviously not to many ppl were entertained.

Murdered? Even the factories numbers are relatively close. 2 tenths of a second = 2 car lengths. Murdered? What is "murdered" to you? CH and I will figure it out. Maybe once this weather breaks and its not 2 degrees outside. Light to light is impracticle since neither car is a dragster.. CH and I were just having this conversation about how it seems most of the AMG drivers here, mostly C63 KIDZ seem to think racing is "light to light" only. Owning both an AMG and M they are two totally different cars with different purposes, light to light means jack.

Murdered is what happens when an M3 challenges an M5

I assume you call diggs "light to light". Digg is like any other roll, it lines up your car's strengths against the competitor. Except with a digg there is one more factor involved that is not included at higher rolls - knowing how to launch your car. It's your loss, I was just trying to help you. The higher you go from a roll against an E60 M with your E92/3M the less of a chance of winning you have (the worse you will lose). E60 M5's are monsters up top.

You are talking about 1/4 times yes? Well 1/4 is just like light to light, except legal and with a set distance, so why use those numbers anyway if you are against that kind of racing?

Those numbers prove my point that from a stop an E92/3 M3 has a better chance (like you mention 2/10 of a second) difference between the M5.

Just speculating on your race, don't take it personally. You have a very nice car, but it's no match for the E60M.

Stay safe!

I disagree.

Again, thats not getting murdered. And your not talking to a kid here. You are talking to someone who races on a track, who knows the other driver well and who's car is pushing close to 400 to the wheels. CH knows all of this, so yes, it will be an interesting drive, when we do it, but murdered, um, no.. Murdered is an M or AMG or any other car for that matter, going up against a Veyron, thats murdered. Loosing by two or three car lengths is getting beat up.

I'm completely down for some runs, there's no hostility here.

Nice numbers. Is that DJ or DD? What mods? It'll be a blast for sure just make sure to have your V1s armed, this forum can't take two quality members being denied their MBWorld rights.

Who'll win? ChristinaNoel's fat a$$ with a fly by in his rebadged C230k.

Say spring. We definitely can't do it on a day coming back from the Bullet Hole. That would be bad...

EDIT: Exhaust and Pulley installed.. ECU on its way..
