its a old video...

they actually raced about 3 times... those other races are not shown.

one of those times, The m3 got the jump and the c32 had a hard time to reel him back, but he eventually did.

it's always a driver's race with the M3.. it all depends who what speed and who has the right power band.

At the end, the C32 should pull away... due to the amount torque.

There are lots of competitions between the two, which if you look at it from a perspective, it means that both parties see their opponent's cars as equally great. It's just sometimes the inner child kicks in and turns the admirations into bashings
