I raced a c6 Grand Sport (auto) and lost. He stayed in 1 gear while I shifted through 3

The gears in this car are surprisingly short.

I've heard the BMW detunes the MG M3 because of that lame color










I love MG, was my third (non $5k individual) choice (ended up with the 4th haha)
1) Tanz; 2) SS; 3) MG; 4)BSM

Every AMG-line A or C200d on the road, they just want to show you what 140hp and a 500rpm power band can do....

I have noticed that even cars going the other way, I had a new RS3 saloon do this to me the other day very odd behaviour, he saw my car and then suddenly started to drop cogs and show me how many farts his car could do.

There are MANY cars that would keep up with motorcycles...after 100mph.

Only difference is, a 170 HP 400 pound bike would be far gone before the car even gets to 100. Lol.

Starting from 0 mph yeah, with a good rider...I'm pretty confident from a roll 60mpg or 80mph an F80 with a good driver could keep up with a 600 crotch rocket. But 0-60 is another story (2.8sec vs 4.0 sec)

I wasted an F80 by football fields on my beloved 1198. As far as on a track, patch is where bikes lose leverage over cars. Other than that, cars stand no chance. Once you start talking ZX-11 and Hayabusas, forget about it.

^ Had a ZX-14 a few years back and it wasn’t even close vs a car. Perhaps the smaller ones like a 500cc

Get that a lot myself, cars in other directions or other lanes going around corners...seems like when they see the M3 badge they get feeling small and need to puff their chests. With my wife in the car I tended to point it out after the fact and she didn’t believe it at first until it kept happening and happening and happening...so now she starts to call it even before it happens.

Watch out for the 718s version, off the line would be interesting. I’ve never had it present itself to me but I’m thinking with LC and the way they squat off the line at a start, we’d be toast until about 60+?

Anyone else experience cars at a two-lane stop light not pulling right next to you in other lane? Strange.
