Just make sure you race him from a stop. That engine with a chip and exhaust is over 200hp and the car weighs about 2800lbs. Even though their 0-60 times aren't that impressive, they are usually well into the 14's by the end of the 1/4 mile. They are high-revving race engines and built for roadracing not drag racing.

You should take him stock vs stock, and even if the M3 has some minor mods.
I've run 3 so far. Two were manuals.
But you better be ready with your A-game as it will be close. On one of the runs I wasn't sure it the guy was just toying with me and really wanting to run so I wasn't ready to react when he punched it. He won that round.
However, the next two runs were mine. One from a stop and the other from a 30 roll.
So go get 'em.

Just checking to see if you took the tome this past weekend to look up that M3.
BTW - I didn't notice at first that the M3 is a 90 model. The ones I ran were the more recent 98-2001 models.
