So i happened to be cruising around on my bike on this wonderful evening and witnessed a … wait a second… replace that w/ several … races b/w a M3 and a dodge neon. i was enjoying the show, even as the M3 tried to move into my lane and leave me as a piece of road-kill. But i must say, as hard as the M3 tried… he just couldn’t make the cut… the neon ‘done him good.’ btw… good job weaves :bigthumb: ---

Hahahahah…Shelby called US ricers…hahahahahah. That’s a good one…just like the joke in your signature. On a side note, the guy took me for a ride in the M3 after we pulled over to talk, that would be the absolute perfect daily driver for me. ---

I agree that I need to drive one! I did have a fun night, but accomplished none of the work that I wanted to…oh well. The SMG transmission still sucks ass IMHO. I shift faster than the SMG does, even though it supposedly does it in a few tenths of a second. The M3 feels faster than my car…but wasn’t. ---

I think the smg has a few modes that you can have it set in to shift how you want it to…i hear that when its in the hardest mode that it snaps your head back ---

> [@s14M3](#): > > I think the smg has a few modes that you can have it set in to shift how you want it to…i hear that when its in the hardest mode that it snaps your head back He put it in the hardest mode, and yes it does that…after a delay. It’s like full power \ full power. It feels like when I WOT shift my car, just slower. I’ve driven an SMG 3-series in Germany, and I hated it. I guess it’s better than an “auto-stick” though. ---
