Yeah Baby!! E46 M3 eats it!
Just the details... I am on an adrenaline high right now!
E46 M3 (convertible though..
) rolling from 25mph... 1st.. I spin.. he takes 1/2 car. 2nd, I pull 1 car (meaning I am half-car ahead).. 3rd I pull another car (1.5 cars ahead)... and then we cut it. He is just totally upset... says that his car is heavy and that a hard-top would smoke me... yeah right! I can't say I will beat a hard-top E46 M3, but it might be even.
I said my car was stock

Dunno yet... we'll see if it breaks! That's what I am afraid of. Feels good after today's little spurt... although I am a little weary about taking it to the track.

easy to say when it's not your car. 
doesnt matter though. if he runs a 13.8, you know on the next pass he'll go for broke.

Don't hype this up too much as I probably won't run that quick... am NOT going to really push the limits of the clutch.

whats the point of lying and saying its stock?? i mean you get into a friendly race with a fellow enthusiast and you feel the need to lie and say your shit is stock??? 
your car is one of THE furthest CL-S from stock on this forum, at least as far as powertrain modifications go.

... it ain't that bad... if you ask most street racers what they've got they leave it a mystery and don't say anything.I don't see why you've always got something negative to say.
a kill is a kill... and one on an E46 in an N/A CLS is impressive to say the least.

M3... ~3500lbs/330hp
CL-S.. ~3400lbs/260hp
Umm... doesn't add up! Of course the guy knows I am not stock - rather obvious.
There is some history behind this. A looong time ago when I had my Civic (12.2's NA), I ran a Ferrari 356. I fooled around with him and eventually he asked me (via the blonde next to him)... what on earth I had on my car. I said it was stock.. just a 92 Civic VX Hatchback. I then proceeded to ask him if his Ferrari was a 'kit-car'! You should have seen the look on his and HER face... priceless.
Most folks with expensive cars... have some ego (not that I don't have any...but that's a different thing
). Anyways... back to the M3. The FIRST thing the guy told me when we had our windows rolled down was an excuse that his car is heavy.. blah, blah, blah. It's true to an extent... but he was obviously quite upset that his M3 was beaten by a measly CL-S (that looks stock). The direction of the conversation was really dictated by my first impression of the chap.... I don't think its a big deal... if a Civic beat me on the street... I KNOW he has something under that hood - very obvious!

It's so funny to say something is stock when it's not.
I used to love racing around the Jeep beating E36 M3s and GTs Camaros
and being like ahh it's stock.
If they can't tell its super or turbo charged they deserve to be fooled.

Anyways, good kill.

Good kill ALLMOTOR......IMO with almost 112mph u should have smoked him more than 1.5cars. U will smoke all M powered cars with that trapspeed and would be even with the Z8. A friend of mine has a hard top SMG M3 and the best he could run was 13.2 at 105mph. So u will smoke a hardtop M3 for sure.

Yes i was impressed too from the 13.2 at 105. He ran 11 times 9 were 13.3 at 104mph and one 13.2 at 105 and one 13.6 at 103 because he didnt shift to 4th.
