M3Sins -- Proved to me the difference b/w M3 & the Type S

First of all -- thanks again to Ken (M3Sins) for lettin' me ride shotgun in his Yellow M3 today at the Gameworks meet -- AWESOME! I've never been in one, and he smoked it off the line a couple times -- phenomenal power.

I didn't find ANYONE at the meet with more than the Comptech exhaust and the CAI -- no one w/ headers -- I really wanted to ride shotgun in one of those to feel the difference in power. Ken also had his G-Tech w/ him and we were looking for someone w/ the fully modified CL-S -- none to speak of though -- maybe next meet. The M3 -- wow -- unbelievable. I don't mean to bash the Type S at all -- I was driving home and I floored my TL-S a couple times and still loved the feeling. However -- everything everyone said about the launch on a RWD/manual M3 is true -- Ken and I TOOK OFF -- immediately .. I must sound like I'm some kid at a candy store -- but I was very impressed. I struggle to believe the stories of the people w/ modded CL-S's coming to within a car length of an M3 in a 1/4 mile dash. However -- i won't say it isn't true until i see it for myself -- don't flame me please -- i love the type S. Plus, I respect Webtoker's new Track times --the low 14's ..and I know Ken's lowest 1/4 mile is about 14.2 seconds.

Thanks again Ken -- I think I'm in the market for an M3 now. Ugh -- where did I keep all that money -- oh yeah -- there is no money.

Hey thanks for the props. Just thought I would bring a different taste to the meet. After the get together at Gameworks we headed to Busse woods to just 'chill' out. I would have to say, this was really fun and look forward to hangin' out with you guys next time.

Glad you enjoyed the ride!

I think I speak for everyone when I say Gameworks probably wasnt the best choice for the meet .. tho we made the best of it

we even managed to have our own little watch boy who made sure no one else parked next to our rides!
