I already know who's going to get blame if these three idiots crash pulling this crap on public road. The Ricer in his Civic with the fart cannon, stickers and 10ft wing.

If I was going to take this kind of risk, I'd do it in an EVO or a real sportscar or have sex with a hot hooker without a condom. That M3 was all over the road, it just ain't got what it takes for canyon carving. The only reason the R1 hasn't over taken it is due to these 3 idiots choosing a busy 2 lane road.

Never race on a public road.

I've seen too many people crash (most live with only "serious" injuries, and a few have died) on public roads.

Keep the racing in a track.


As for the video, the guy can ride well. Not great, but well. Otherwise, he has to be the dumbest driver out there risking a spill for... for what?!? A YouTube video!?!

Thumbs down

I don't think that was "racing". I think the R1 was behind to M to record the run. I agree that it is stupid to do drive like that on public road.

Yeah yeah yeah.. We know these guys were dumb for doing this stunt on populated roads..Heck it is no different than those that race their vehicles on highways & stop lights & write about it. But then again, such stories could be fiction Anywho, back to the video, I must say the M3 handled quite well..Not too many cars can hug the twisties like the M cars.
