Driving to the store Saturday night, on Forza 3 in Mexico, the car in front of me was driving a little on the slow side, but I didn't tailgate them. The 2 lane road opened up to 4 lane, so I immediately sped up to 10 over the speed limit. I noticed the car was an E46 M3; the same E46 M3 that is known around town for having a jackass of an owner. When I sped up to 10 over, I got beside the E46 M3, and he started punching the gas to buck. I knew if cops were on this road, they'd be up near the red light at the Sonic. Deciding to play it smart, considering I have no exhaust on my car at the time (Welds broke), I kept my pace and waited for later on down the road.

Up at the red light, there were no cops, and luckily we caught a red on the light. Don't worry, ahead is a well lit area, no traffic, one side road that's visible, and perfectly straight for another 4 miles. The jackass punches the gas again to make the car buck. Ok, he obviously wants to race. I hadn't had a decent run yet with the car, so then was my chance. I knew the E46 M3 would win considering Car and Driver got a 13.1 and the average driver can do 13.3-13.5, and my car was your basic LS/VTEC untuned, but I wouldn't let that stop me.

I hold the RPMs around 1,500 when I see the intersecting lights turn yellow. Light turns green and we both go. I lose traction, he gets a fender ahead, and at about 6,000 RPMs my car catches, I get back even with him. Not paying great attention to the tach and not very used to running open header, I hit the rev limiter and it bounces twice. I drop back to him being a fender ahead. He SLOWLY pulls, I do the same with my 2nd to 3rd shift, he pulls ahead and I'm to about his door. Somehow, I manage to do the same 'waiting to long to shift' bullshit for my 3rd to 4th shift, and bounce off the limiter again. We both let off when I'm in the upper RPMs of 4th, and I'm right even with his rear bumper.

I was pretty impressed with the outcome of my car, even thought it's slow, due to the tune, having a passenger, and the power of the oppenent's car. Enjoy the read, fuckers.
