*Just wanted to mention that switching from a 3.73 LSD to 2.93 has made my car a lot quicker in head to head races*
I was heading towards my friend house late last night and as I pull into one of the left turning lanes at an intersection, I notice an M5 next to me. I look over and see a well groomed guy, while here I am with my hoodie on looking like a punk, lol, so I just give him a nod...and hope he'd like to do a run.
Well arrow turns green and we procede. He goes somewhat slow and is behind me and I'm watching my rearview to see if he was going to catch up and do anything. I suddenly see him approaching quite quickly and as he's about to pass so I hit it but bog for a little cause I left it in 3rd @ 3k
So I chase him a bit and am able to hang with him after both of us having to slow down to get around a couple cars.
As we slow down for an intersection I see him enthusiastically throw the thumbs up
We turn right at the intersection and I pull up next to him and roll my window down, "What do you have in that thing!?". Just told him it's the '95 M3 engine.
I then suggest we go head to head. He gives me a beep to let me know he's game. I put her in 2nd and begin beeping for the start. In 2nd I get a little jump on him, maybe 1/4 of a car length, but once I shift into 3rd I pull really hard and he's behind me as I shift into 4th. As I pull another half car he backs off and goes on his way.
To say the least I was quite happy with the outcome, but also surprised it wasn't faster than it was, especially when I thought it would pull away at high triple digit speeds when I was chasing after him, since he has more HP and better aerodynamics.
The E60 M5 would be a breeze to outpace...as long as they don't touch that M button
Still love those E39 M5's though
