Hey DCoolbeans, Two weeks ago along that very same portion of road while on my way into work at 11:40pm, I had just enter into Manhattan on Henry Hudson I see HIDS coming super fast in left lane I was in middle lane and what passes me, white C63 exhaust, rims and body kit looked mean and sounded even meaner and few seconds behind him was white e93 M3 comes right behind me gives me high beams to get out of his way minded you was in middle lane, suffice to say it was interesting after that point I was in sport manual mode in 3rd gear, and fear no stock M3, but this is not right forum for this type of adventure I'll post the rest of that story in right forum.

Yep that me I take this route sometimes, I head towards Dyckman St. onto henry Hudson. During summer and early fall I remember seeing some imports hanging at that Dunkin Donuts under #1 train. I think I'll take route tonight.

Ok here we go M3 continued to flash his hi beams at me I couldn't go to right lane because of car already there, instead of just getting in left lane he stayed roughly 3 to 4 feet off my rear bumper that pissed me off he finally went into left lane to pass me but there was slower moving traffic ahead by the time traffic cleared we were both doing 35 mph I was in right gear at perfect speed thats when traffic opened up not car in front of us from dyckmen st. To GW brigde this long straight away with slight bank to left I new he was going to punch it at that moment I anticipated and watched for tell like in poker every time he was ready to shift he would look down slightly then move his shoulder I new he was gonna run at that moment I was able to beat him to punch pull him by car we both have to shut it down before you go under gw bridge.
We ran one again this time just passed 158th street exit to just passed 125th this time I did little better I can tell that he was in to high of gear when we took off he didnt pull as hard as he did the first run by the time he corrected it was too late had pulled him again by car half or so hard tell no more than two cars but shut it down again. To me both cars are pretty equal in this case it was driver that make the difference.
