2) Kia Stingers
3) Dodge Chargers/Challengers all models
I rarely engage with my kids in the car or if there is a lot of traffic.

My wife however, is always telling me how she raced and gets walked. I always ask why but then what she's trying to race. GT3 GT2 Porches and some Lambos. She's way too funny
Literally everything on 4 wheels. Here's a catalogue of this who "won" and ultimate losers.
On my first road trip with the M3 from Edmonton to Vancouver
1. Chrysler 300 2006 -2007 ish models driven by skinny vaping yo yo with a bunch of girls in the back. This idiot stopped 2 lanes of highway and puts his hazard lights and waves me to pull up next to him. I didn't indulge and had to stop 3 car lengths behind. Anyway turns out 250 meters down the road there's a massive RCMP traffic police project. Just my luck they were on the other side of the highway I could not signal them.
2. Another Chrysler 300 same vintage year, this time with massive rims and driven by an old dude. Tailgates me the for 3kms till I pulled into a gas station. He "waited" for me at the next exit and did a flyby then flashed hazards - yay another winner

3. Honda pilot driven by a soccer mom. Didn't like the sound of my open valves. Sat on my tail for 1Km and then overtook over a double line and proceeded to brake check me then took off and flipped me off. Reason unknown

4. This one was hilarious.. Guy in a Chevy Volt .. seriously.. Cuts me off in a construction zone just to get in front of me. Mind you the lane he has in was completely empty. I was having a bad day so this time I retaliated. I took the lane he left after the construction zone and sat there pacing the car that was to my right, effectively trapping the volt guy there for 2-4 kms. There was no one behind me so I sat on the fast lane. Eventually the driver I was pacing on the right started giving a larger gap and the volt driver thought he would get a chance. I dropped it to 3rd and he became tiny in seconds. He didn't bother me the rest of the way.

5. Lifted trucks ( there's are notorious for straight up reckless driving and egging) one dangerously came flying by and swerved into my lane at the last minute there was was no car behind me and I was doing the limit. it was Friday I have worked with police on traffic projects so I know we'll enough which days and locations to be behaved. This idiot could have easily and safely used the very long exit runway but.. as expected cut me of closely. Seriously this car attracts the scum of the road. I had my wife in the car with me.

6. RAM 1500 who came flying behind me in a school zone. He got up close to by rear bumper. Reason unknown. I was doing the limit valves closed and did nothing to provoke. He got nabbed by a biker cop who saw the whole thing. Gave the cop thumbs up and he gave a nod of acknowledgement!

7. Honda's.. I won't even name how many. Loud ones, beat up one's ( which I steer clear of )

8. BMW 330is... if I had a dollar for each that follows too close or tries to race.

9. Mercs C & E class numerous times, same MO follow to close, overtake aggressive and cut off then drive off. Works are the CLA

10. Last one is my neighbor, he drives an infiniti Came up fast and I mean fast and started tailgating me on a side residential road at night with his high beams on. When I pulled over at my driveway is when I realized he is my next door neighbor!!. Needless to say I do not say hi or hello to this guy anymore. He clearly has issues because he knows it's my car he was following that closely and that too in tight residential streets. I was driving normally no noise or spirited driving.so I dunno what triggered this guy.

Full disclosure, I do not drive like a douche. There are a few F80s where I live so it would be very easy to get tagged and called in, I have also worked with police on traffic enforcement and I am very aware of the consequences all financial, criminal and life/death. So I am a nanny driver on the road, I do the posted limits and my advice is to ignore the crazy drivers out there. In the very very rare case that I go John wick on the throttle on a public road it's followed by deep regret.

My friend has a 911 GT3 and it's his daily, and has fewer of these and he rarely gets egged on. I drove his car for a couple of weeks and while people will stare at the his car I never once got any of the crazy stuff that I get in the ///M .

I'm curious is this an M3 thing???
i don't get cut off a lot but other than that yea it's an M3 thing.. get a lot of base model BMW's, Mercs, lifted trucks trying to coal me or keep up with me on the highway.. most of the time i'm chilling and cruising in eco but when they start tailing me like that, i put it in my M2 and just start cutting up in traffic. doesn't take much for them to relax and understand what they're up against tbh. the funniest guys are the ones that drive their new altimas, nissan rogue suv-type cars that have the typical one hand on the steering wheel and shoulders and neck puffed up like they're the hottest thing on the road, get a laugh out of it every time.

You raced a huracan performante?
That must’ve been great!
What a treat!

Edit: watched vid… I think you did ok, considering.
It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I bet he was kinda pissed.

For the record, I have always loved M3's from the E30's to the current G80. The guy who tried to race me was really cool and we both gave each other a thumbs up. I was hoping he was a member of this forum but I knew that was a long shot. I'll post anywhere I want at anytime. If that makes you all ruffled then fantastic.
I raced a p85 in my 340i back during the first month of having it. Had my whole family in the car and it was really dumb. I actually kept up with him very well until about 80 mph and all of a sudden it was like a rocket launch… I literally could barely see the guy 5 seconds later he was so far ahead. I don’t think it would have made much difference had I had no one in the car. I also wanted to stop because it was a bad idea with my family and they were getting scared.

But yea it hurt.
I didn’t realize just how fast they are. There’s no contest. Racing a Tesla is guaranteed bad times if you are holding out any hope of winning. Only way you’ll win is if they crash lol.

I can’t take it away from them, Tesla is the speed king.
I still don’t want one, cause I like sound.
But they are definitely cool.

If I had room for 4 cars, maybe.
Gotta admit I do want a cyber truck though.
I may get one, if I can get an allocation or an order placed in a year or two.

I did 150 in my uncle’s Saab with nitrous and I thought I would never see another sunrise. The road just doesn’t seem the same. Those parts you know so well, the twists and turns, they come and go so fast… my brain couldn’t process it.

I didn’t say anything, but I sure was glad when he was like, ok that’s it I’m runnin low on nitrous.

“Aw damn, well that was wicked. Thanks!”

Reality was like thank you Jesus for letting me live.

I’ve raced Teslas a few times now and the model three performance will definitely take me from a stop. From a roll, I can barely pull on one. The dual motor one is no problem. The model S drivers never race.

I get a ton of model 3s trying to race. Thing is they give me zero heads up. They just floor it on green and probably go brag on tesla forums about owning a M4. I just mind my own business on the street.

rwd launch has to be really on point to have a shot a taking a model 3P from a dig, especially if it’s cold out or damp.

They don’t have much of a top end though (at least mine didn’t) compared to a similarly powered gas car

Well any reasonable powered 4wd is a challenge on the traction end. A 440 xdrive will probably win too. At least if I got into launch mode id be spooled.

2nd Gen (~2000-2007) GMC Yukon Chevy Suburban. Rolled his window down and told me I had a fast car but his whip was a "big body" and had a 4WD Turbo and could roll with anybody. Broken tail light added 50 horse.

Q60 Redsport AWD, most likely tuned.

Raced him off the line, he got me but I creeped back. I only have GTS tune. Also, I have the boost reduction for 1st , 2nd and 3rd gears on as well, that might be another factor.

Guy wanted to race me so bad, he had confident

I've had a bunch of Model 3 P try to race me. They hit the brakes as soon as I start reeling them in. One time the guy was behind me and I made sure to block him until my wheels had traction before gunning it lol.

Guy and his girl, in their white tesla model 3, drove past me (F80 M3) a bit on a 35mph road. They rolled back to match door to door for like 1 second, then proceded to George Jetson off to around 60? They never even looked at me and also didn't notice the cop behind us either apparently lol.

Let's face it if your kid is pointing and saying omg sick Tesla, Hes got bad taste and is objectively a nerd.

If that were true I doubt it would effect EV sales. It a cult membership, not a reasoned decision.

Dodge Charger ScatPack...he did a fly by on the freeway as I was on the way home (late night cruising). I just got my M4 so I wanted to see how it stacked up. Scat seemed stock so I dropped into 3rd and returned the favor. He proceeded to follow me off the exit ramp to get a 40 roll....and that ladies and gentlemen was the first time I took someone to Gapplebees :P
