Way to step up
in Thai's defense he was never insulting to anyone just a bit annoying with his magazine racing antics I dont like your chances though but i think you will learn first hand that a magazine number is just that...a number which doesnt translate into real world results for everyone.
Id be willing to stop by houston as well, and run ya for some $$ ill be in killene tx in a month or so

Great kill, IMO the vid was a bit dark but everything was clear because the camera was facing the M3 headlights soon after the launch LOL 
btw Benzo, i assume u did a typo in your initial post because you said "roll rice" instead of "roll race" right?
Thai, i think ur still trying to make excuses because M3 lost clean and clear to the C32. What differences does it make if the M3 and C32 had people in the car? The C32 weights more than the M3 if u didn't know
The video is hard evidence that the M3 is significantly slower than the C32
ave it

nope, no type-o.. i meant roll rice!!! See, "roll rice" is what my friends an i call a rolling race b/c its waht lots of ricers like to do... rolling involves a lack of driver skill IMO!!!! But I also have another video of the roll ricing I did with the M3 so that i can prove that its not only the driver, but the C32 does outpower the M3 regardless of driver!! As soon as i can find some1 else to host the roll rice video ill post it up!!!

your excused :P .... yes, i knew about our rolling advantage, but i dont think mr M3 knew until i walked him just as bad on the highway as we did out the hole... honestly, I think M3s have more of a chance with their SMG Launch control out the hole.. but if you know how to launch a C32, you can outlaunch them all day long!!! Launch control = involves no driver skill...

There was this one time I was sitting in my friend's 03 WRX, the guy with an SLK32 blew us away at the lights, the AWD only gave us like a 1/4 car length advantage.........

This is why real world racing is more accurate than those stupid magazine tests. The car makers tune their cars for 0-60 times, and in the real world, a race often goes far beyond 60mph.
The M3 has been owned haha.

I am not doubting the video...strange setup nonetheless. However, why is it that the C32 can ONLY beat the M3 on THIS forum.
Show me a COMPARO test where a C32 beats M3 in acceleration. Of course, M3 outhandles and outbrakes C32.
At least for me, i can show you objective data. Granted, magazine data can be wrong...but from what i can see, the data is pretty consistent.
Just my thought.
