I know my car have more power and torge than my friend 04 M3 but seem my friend M-3 faster.

from dig a well driven M3 kind of has an advantage over clk because its hard to launch our cars. but when both cars are moving it should be an easy win for the clk.
with that said, if you launch your car right you should be able to take him. the key is making sure you have enough traction (rolling on throttle) before you floor it.
these cars are hard to launch (no lsd and only 245 in the back). so try to get some practice.

just killed an M coupe

i had my brother (big bimmer fanatic) in the car (we both weigh 200lbs), the other guy was by himself - he probably was like 160lbs. he got the jump of course, but the second my car got traction i was out and away. my brother was just amazed with the power my car has.
anyway, this was my first M kill and it felt good
