Play around with M-series Z4

So I'm coming home today and there is this M-series Z4 infront of me and we pull off the freeway and a pull behind him. He makes his turn and then I can hear him gun it. I don't gun it but follow him as he pulls away from me. We get to the next light and I can't line up next to him so again I follow behind. Green light he goes and pulls hard. Next light, my turn off is coming up, but there is a free lane so I decide at the last minute to pull over to the side of him to play around. He's at a stop and I'm slowing down almost at a complete stop when the light turns green and I merge over to the right of him and then gun it. I think I started low in 2nd or 3rd so I didn't pull. Neck by neck and then I hit either 3rd or 4th and I begin to slowly pull but it was because his turn was the next turn (same as mine) so I let off the gas. I thought I'd be able to kill one of them. Supposily 330hp to the crank, I probably have around 270-280 to the wheels with all bolt ons minus ECU/midpipe @ stock boost.

Any thoughts on this?

Me like M Z4's. same drive train as E46 M3, but smaller car, less weight. When we got one here at the dealership, me and a fellow tech drove it. Peeled out in first, spun the hell out of them when shifting into second. That was with traction control on. WIth it off, wouldn't have been able to keep it on the road

They have great gearing as well. A FD with around 280 whp will be about even.
