I was behind an E46 M3 (that's what the new ones are coded as Doug) convertible on my way home from work today, and the guy got on it at one point.
For the hell of it, I caught up to him, and rode his ass through a right-hand corner onto another street, he started trying to get away from me, and as he was making a VERY EASY sweeping left-hander, he almost lost it and almost took out a line of parked cars!
Once I saw he had regained control of the car, I laughed out loud to myself.
The guy was at least in his mid 40's too.
Ok, the e46's are bad A cars. 3.2l 333 hp 262 lb/ft. Thats a lot of tuned machine right there.
- So I would venture to guess that Doug went up against an E36, which I have had the chance to drive before. Those are still really fast even tho they aren't making the same numbers as the newer ones. Good kill Doug.
But subyluvr, since you are saying you went up agains these new beast machines I am going to have to factor in a few things.
1 He was in his 40's so that means that he probably wanted luxury and comfort. So subtract points for having the convertible as that adds 366 lbs. not too bad but noticeable.
2 He was most likely granny shifting as is probably a good idea since that huge engine eats up 16-23 mpg driving normaly.
3 He was a crappy driver. (I have driven an E36, with not too much practice in rwd cars, I was able to stick corners at speeds higher than I thought possible, so it isn't that the car can't handle it.)
So basically with all that factored in, it amounts to you going up against someone in a honda civic.
