I take that back completely...about 1 hour ago I I got off of i287 and onto i95south and cruisin at like 90-100mph to get back to work and an ice blue Accord was tearing through traffic. This guy was going over the shoulder, cutting in and out of 18 wheelers like it was a video game. He even hit a shredded tire on the side of the road. He was a complete idiot and after that he puts his hazards on to show he won. I caught up to him and then lined up to see if he wanted to slow down and do a run and as soon as I slowed down and looked at him, he took off and went on the shoulder and cut off as many cars as possible. What a retard.
Before that I was running with a guy in a new black civic si. Same stuff but it only lasted about a minute whereas the guy in the Accord was doing this for maybe 5+ minutes and he was getting very wreckless.

It's not like that here in TX. I get left alone no matter which I drive. Rarely see an M3 and when I do they're usually putting along to. Every now an then you'll get a kid in a new mustang GT who thinks they're something. Slap them down quick and move along. Had an evo MR try to race me in the E55 one morning. It was pretty sad; he got dusted and tried to do a flyby after I slowed down, but I wouldn't let him and matched his speed before he could pass and I overtook him again to add insult to injury.

Totally agree on the G35 and 350Z
No disrespect to G and Z owners, it's a great $35k car and does everything that it's supposed to do. However, it's not the fastest car in the world by any means and those who drive them should not attempt to challenge everyone on the road.
And for those who have forced induction variants- I've seen one or two at the track (Atco) run times that were pretty close to what stock is supposed to be (mid and high 13s).

damn, sounds like a scene outta "2fastnot2furious"...i remember punchin it on one of these newer civics...it was over after about 7 secs tho...he was wit me for the first 2 then i guess he tried to mash out too hard or somethin and ended up goin head first into a guard rail on the belt pkwy...
And yup, I've seen a few crashes because of racing...one was an 8 car pileup on the Tappan Zee Bridge (thank God I was in the middle lane).

Sadly ALL true
If anyone else has any G35 stories, please feel free to post.
They should be compiled and a link should be sent to the G35 forums.

Used to be a CLK430
Hmmmm, why is everyone lumping M3 drivers into a single category? I'm a 29 year old professional who went from a W208 CLK430 to an E46 M3 and don't believe that I'm any better than a guy who owns a CLK55....I do think my taste has changed, but that has nothing to do with me thinking that I'm better or must race everything out there. I actually miss my CLK...it was so smooth, but when I hit the gas, watch out! Don't take that to mean that I don't love my M3, because I do, but I can still appreciate both, right?

the CLK63 black series post on youtube says it all
disciples of ///M cars are SO crude and annoying.
especially this phucknut named, "redlined21"
this jackazz probably drives an E36 325is with an E46 M3 front bumper and a bunch of bogus badging.

this is why it's difficult NOT to pool M3 drivers into one pool. there are exceptions, but these people are truly EXCEPTIONS.
PLEASE, come to North Jersey and observe M3 and G35/350Z drivers for an afternoon and you'll all understand.

You name it i've had it or got it...
well it is a proven fact that m3 drivers actually consume 10-12 red bulls a day...thus leading to the edginess they have on the streets. but in all seriousness...could this be some m3 envy you have? I mean last I checked the m3 was one of the fastest cars on the street...get with it man!!!

rbtronnie5- "M3 Envy"? Pardon me, but I have NO such M3 envy. Why would I envy a slower, less-expensive car with an engine that sounds like a blender after 3,000 RPM? I actually considered buying the S4 and M3 before getting the CLK55. They just weren't what I was looking for. There is your answer.
If you've read my prior posts and those of others, you will see that AMG owners are balanced individuals who actually do give M3 cars credit as great driver's cars with knife-edge handling and race-bred motors. However, on the highway, the AMG cars are the clear winners.
So before you accuse people of any sort of "envy" why don't you do a little research?
Food for thought. Peace.
