He’s not a cop. He’s correctional officer, works at Albany county jail. Name’s Mike. Funny guy a little bit on the douche side.

Goes by “Big Mike”. He’s somehow associated with a small dealership and been driving it around for a while. Has the plate of “HARDCOR1” IIRC on it.

… go on.

have you been in, driven, or raced one? ive driven an E46 M3 Coupe, and raced one years ago with my mk2 VR6, they are fast, but not that fast. and the topic of discussion is a convertible, which are pigs. so, 285 or so whp + 4000lb… think about it.i know they pull pretty well up top, my friend has an 02 white coupe, thats probably the lightest one weve got in america, its got the 18’s no sunroof,cloth seats, no navi, with a TMS chip, its really fun to drive, but i dont think its gonna pull on an SS up top… maybe from a dig it would be good since a well driven E46 M3 can go pretty well.
