FD vs e36 M3
Nothing very exciting but I was getting onto the freeway when I see this red e36 trying to catch up to me. I pulled to the middle lane and hit the brakes a little for him to catch up. As he got closer to me I dropped into 3rd gear and just cruised a little. He comes up next to me and I gave him a nod and he hits it. I smash 3rd gear and and I am already caught up to him, I look over, smile, shift into 4th and floor it and just keep pulling.
His car looked nice, it was a well kept M3 with that checkered flag decal on the fender with from what I could hear/see suspension and exhaust. I don't know but I thought it'd be a little bit harder to pull on him. I have all bolt ons @ 12psi untuned.

They are just low 14 second cars IIRC.

Why did you think it would be harder to pull him ?...stock E36 has like 235 horsepower & you have a Turbo FD w/ full bolt-ons. You probably have around what, 300HP(turbo) ?

Ended up keeping it, going to buy a 2nd car and go single turbo on it. I have a lot of plans for the car but I need to keep the car garaged and safe instead of bringing it to school.

I had a E36 m3 with full bolt-ons and it puts down around 250 rwhp. My full bolt-ons FD will absolutely destroy the M3 from any roll. However, it is a damn nice daily driver though.
