would I have a chance?

I don't think so. My buddy's M3 and my other buddy's c32 amg would be a little hard to keep up with. Here a shot of me and the m3

Well you won't.....

I also don't think you will have a chance but....

If you put the C32AMG against the M3 that would be interesting.
The Benz has the horsepower and the torque but the M3 has the stick. My guess: In a short race the BMW, in a long race the C32AMG, Acura TL-S will probably be spectating from the back

Added: Did you get those windows (sides and rear) tinted at a dealership (if yes, how much did you pay for it) or someplace else?

No offense, Laurel MD is quite a bit out from DC. I would assume those houses probably cost like $300-$350 where in my area in Northern VA, they'd go for like $650-$750.

LOL! you guys are funny. Laurel is the suburbs but that pic wasn't my house, it was from the front of my c32 friends house. We were parked out front. And yes the houses are too damn close. All over this area. His crib is phat and cost around 350-450k not sure what. I got pictures of us in the amg at 120, we hit 157 today. That car is BAD! We are going to test it against the m3 but today the m3 guy had to go. check my site for pics

The C32 is fast but not as fast as the m3 however if it was a SLK32 then it is FASTER ... the SLK32 is 4.5 sec from 0-60

Actually, SLK32 will be faster than M3 for sure.... HOWEVER, driven by professinoal, M3 and C32 is equally fast, and is within +/- 0.1 sec.... so, I would say it's a draw.... but again, M3 has stick, and C32 has auto..... real world driving, C32 probably would edge out M3.....

I can justify spending 50k for the C32.

Where do we get that 100 octane gas around here? How much is it? And does it give noticeable performance gains?

You will have a chance if they give you a 300 feet lead and you guys race up to 300 feet.

well, my buddy believes that the 100 octane makes a difference. I don't know. We hit an indicated 157mph with that stuff in the tank. It cost $3.79/gallon out here.

But at least you have friends with those cars that you can ride in. My car is pretty quick, but I have no friends with anything near as nice as what your friends have...

*Sigh* guess I have to move to your neck of the woods...

Although she doesn't purr quite as loudly as before.. LOL!!!
if your car is on a restricted diet of Premium unleaded. High performance engines will need the highest octane. IF you add ambient heat, engine temperature or the engine is injesting hot air, the octane requirement will increase. If your car normally requires 92 octane, (as my car does) and youput 92 octane in the tank, then all should be well. But that is in an perfect world. Chances are the pump rating isn't completely accurate, so in that case, having higher than necessary octane will ensure that the ECU doesn't retard the ignition timing due to detonation. You will make all of the HP that the engine is able to produce..
FYI in NJ, it costs $4.25/gallon
