I do that game too.

I see a supercar, while I'm stuck in traffic, I'll be the winner if I passed him.

Just a boring traffic game.

First, he pulled away a little, but I caught up quickly, and held my own. Then, I pulled away a bit, but he caught me. Toward the end of the race, though, I left him in the dust, because my lane allowed me to get into third gear for a few seconds!!! D*** Houston traffic.

OK, guys. Obviously, 41 or so, of the 44 who have replied, so far, are complete idiots. This post was just to say I saw my first IS-F, and an attempt at humor. What part of "third gear for a few seconds" did you not comprehend? A few miles...third gear for a few seconds...obviously (to someone with at least an average IQ) this "race" lasted for many, many minutes in rush hour Houston traffic. Of course, we were really NOT racing.

I love how everyone tries to shame the OP for street racing as if none of you have ever done it before...give me a break.

As far as taking an F...we all know that didn't happen so no need to drum up the drama and typical flame bs.

He wasn't trolling, he was failing at being humorous apparently.

Hard to comprehend your math here. 41 of 44 people didn't get your "joke", and yet we're the idiots?

+1. With all bolts on and some weight reduction, the 350 can hold its own against a bone stock IS-F. Modded IS-F.. fahgettaboudit

But I find it funny that the BMW 335 can easily be faster than a M3 with a tune. Maybe that is why BMW is stepping it up with a turbocharged V6 M3 in 2012..
