About owning an M3, yes I do. Have a website setup for this http://www.bmwexperience.com
As for being a poor racer, I would think not. Im no pro but Im not that bad either. The IS300 had a better grip than me from the start. I didn't catch a good grip until third gear. Another thing, Im not sure if he had anything under the hood, but to me it looked stock.
A troll? Hell no! I hate Lexus with a passion! Ugly ass cars! I know that if it was a little drier I could have whooped him good. Also, its harder to catch traction when its a little wet outside and if you add a 34 degree temp. outside to that, its a little harder!

You reply to many, many topics and all you say is "Great story". This is pretty much spam and is pretty annoying. If you want to get your post count up just contribute normal posts like the rest of us.</font>

I agree with Tom2...and M3 should beat an IS300 by alot more than 2 car lengths at 95mph...God knows the CL-S would have more than 2 cars on it! Isn't the 0-60 time 7.5 seconds...thats really not fast...its quick, but not even close to M3 range.

M3Sins, I also own a 5-speed Bimmer and I can relate to you about your story. If the roads are wet at all I won't go at it with anybody, because if they have anything that is even remotely competitive they are going to get me until I get traction,,, which is around 3rd gear.
