Race Story, "DIABLO Y" in Ohio E46 M3 vs E36 M3

[MMTuning]

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if one of you drive a charcoal or graphite E46 M3 with blacked out windows. Anyways, I was the guy in the black E36 M3 that raced you today with the front euro plate reading "SP-EVOM3". You may be wondering why you didn't shake me and why I caught up with you so easily? You say, hmm, E36 with 240hp stock??? Well, the answer is that I have a Euro 3.2l under the hood It was a fun race and I hope to speak with you about it or maybe meet up and do it again sometime. For all you guys eager to hear what happened, here is the story
I am going to wash my car here in my town, and I spot a graphite E46 M3 going onto the interstate. I instantly think, "hmm, this could be fun". I then wait for my light to change and haul it onto the interstate to catch up. I catch up, he is cruising about 75-80. I can't see who's inside because the windows are black. I then drop it down into 3rd and goose it real quick. I await a response, but got none. I then nail it and take off trying to get him worked up, but still no response. I slow down to 60 and let him catch up. I then look over at him and nail it quickly again. HE TAKES THE BAIT!!! I was like, oh yea. He nails it and I let him pass before I nail it. I nailed it and got up on his rear. I am watching the speedo and having to lift a couple times, I see 110, 120, 130, 140, 150 and up ahead is a car in the fast lane and an old Ford pickup in the slow lane going like 55. We are QUICKLY approaching, so I hit the brakes. What does he do, he gets into the breakdown lane and passes!!! I was like, he doesn't care about flats. I then wait for the car to get out of my way, and nail it whilst he is far ahead. I quickly bury the speedo and come up behind him in a blinding fury. I hit the brakes to keep from hitting him. He was cruising along at 150. I keep an eye out ahead and let him lead the way, and I could see a WS6 up ahead in the fast lane and semi in the slow lane. We are going 154-155(his max) and not slowing down for the traffic ahead. He whips the wheel and goes around the T/A at 150+mph!!! I follow suit. The T/A nailed it and tried to get a piece, but after we passed him, he wasn't to be seen again. The guy in the E46 M3 is going about 155, and I pull up beside him to give him a thumbs up. We slow down and he rolls down the window. He was of Asian decent which surprised me b/c I am too. He and his girl both give me a thumbs up and we roll side by side down the interstate at a pace of 80 or 90. My exit was coming up, so I backed off, flashed the high beams and got off as he sped away into the distance. This was VERY fun. I had an enjoyable time, but I bet he was thinking, how was that E36 so fast?!?!? Well, the answer is, euro power. I look to speak to him about the race and meet up. Maybe I will see him at Dyno Day. Who knows. If you are reading this, email or pm me. To everyone else, don't do this at home
