So check this out...I was on US 19 over in Palm Harbor/Pinellas County just crusing around Friday night, this Red M3, I'd say 2006, with black rims pulls up next to me. He guns it on the take off, and I'm like eh what the heck, so we pull up to the next light. I look over at him and give him a "it's on" look. Light turns green, I floor it, he floors it and spins out of control

after he gets out of his tailspin, catches up to me, and we go at it again from a 50 mph rolling start. pretty much toe to toe. I didn't even red line it, so maybe I could have pulled ahead

i know for sure you could have pulled ahead, just depends on your comfort level at speed.

I know...I felt I was holding back some. It's not everyday I'm driving around that fast. plus was scared about any other cars that would pop out and cops.

Only other time i hit that speed was with a friend when he was driving his 350.

I do not think we are aloud to talk about street racing on the forum. I would not have been doing anything next to a guy that cant even keep it straight out of the hole anyway. Be careful!

True...and not street racing...just a very spirited run hah.

Might want to change the way you have it worded then because that is exactly what it sounds like. Im no saint by any means but I do agree with keeping storys like this off the forum.
