M3 no match for the RENNtech SL55
Had a good stretch of road.. M3 comes up... he wants to race. 
We had 3-4 different bolts... it really seemed as though he wasn't trying.
It was sad, I think he was embarrased. He should have been if he wasn't.
Next time he'll choose a little more wisely.

SL/M6
I was pretty sure that in the M3 service manual it says "Any attempt to race a SL55 will cause your warranty to be terminated". The guy sure had guts.

It's like one of those threads I read in some M3 forum that said: "M6 AA stage XXIII annihilated MB C230 Kompressor !!!!!"
Although I concur that the M3 owner was either too stupid to even think about it, or he might just wanted to hear that V8 sound

I6 was clawing it back!!
M-Power was just about to dominate had the road been a little longer. You got away lightly.

Guys in M3's G35's and even Golfs mess with me all the time, they just want to see me run, same with AMG's. Most of the time its not because they think they can win, they just want to know HOW MUCH FASTER you are than them.

True point cylinder. I don't mind getting messed up by M5s so long as the other guy sees it in good spirit. Always good to see ppl use the power they have under their right boot

lol i know.. i wasn't being serious too. This is the problem with the internet. Sometimes you misinterpret because you can't hear how they say it. Maybe I should use some of the smily icons next time

On an unconnected note, CylinderH, don't compare my M3 to a g35. Grrrrrrr!

On second thought maybe a E36 M3 would be a good race for you... I still have my money on the E36 M3...

M cars vs SL55`s
Its on the back of the BMW "M" owners manual.
Warning:
SL55`s can be hazardous to your mental health.
Avoid prolonged exposure to this type Benz.
Serious humiliation may result.
Have not seen an M6 yet. It may be immune.

And as long as M3 guys are out there tryin to beat up an SL55 RENNTech....why should I have to worry about beating an M3 off the line? The 55 will do it in the good name of MB everytime.
I'll leave you with this: out there....somewhere.....there is always someone faster than you! Especially when you're in an ML!
