Default First Race!

My older bro was driving at the time but we "played" with a BMW M3 or M5(I'm pretty sure, dual exhaust and everything) on the highway, we were already going about 65 when it began and my 2.73 gears KICKED right in and my car stayed even till about 100. Then, here's the kicker, WE PULLED AHEAD! Muhahahah my money at work! ;)

What year (approx) M3/M5 and what have you done to your car?

Regardless of the answer, you did good my son. :cool:

No clue, looked pretty new, either this year or last year. I have a rebuilt 350 that the owner before rebuilt. It's running great! I would of been smoked had I started at a dead stop (stupid gears), but since we were on the highway I won (I love these gears). hehe

2.73? you mean 3.73? 2.73 would be the ultimate highway gear, but it'd be a hellous 1st gear for manuals...working the clutch would be tricky I think.

2.73! Like I said, only reason I won is because I was on the highway! ;) It's a 3 speed automatic (TH400) with a shift kit, a perfect combination in my opinion!
