//M Roadster Quick?

They are the //M Version of the Z3, (not the hardtop) are they quick. I was messing with one on I-78 today and we were exactly even performance wise, we'd pass each other back and forth and it seemed like whoever hit the gas first would be the one to win, Once him, Once me, and back and forth a few times.

Is this something to be proud of or are they slow.

It looked brand new, but then again there is no way I was playin with him and actually competing on the highway if its 315hp. I am told I am anywhere from 275-300,,,but Im also heavier.

ok thats atleast believable to compete with 240...but even 240 in a car that small and light.....I dont know, Im happy.

I think its good to beat anything with a "//M" on the back
