VIDEO - My CLS vs Supercharged M3

Turn the sound down if the kids are around...
Thats Saeedg48 riding with me filming...and commentating....classic.

Tons more to come...Z06, C63s, Ford GT, Mustang Cobra, GTR....

The first guy I went after had a M6...he wouldn't race me...guess he didn't want to mess up that whole legend in his own mind thing.

They are all nice guys though...I just have a thing against BMWs....

Full disclosure on that video...he missed a shift and I had this weird double pump premature start that could be considered a jump...I guess.
Not a clean race but a really funny video. We'll do it again...

Audi is better than BMW.

So an M3 isn't a sports car? It's an exact copy cat of a 911 or at least tries to be

audi steering generally speaking is lifeless with no on-center feel. think mercedes, but stiffer front end and lighter steering effort. the engine in front of the front axle on most of them does not help either.

a 911 has _nothing_ in common as road feel and target audience as an m3 or any product from bmw, audi and mercedes. even the v10 r8 which is direct competitor to the 911 turbo feels very very different on the road.
