an m3, funny. i know the 97 m3 has 250 hp, with traction control, if the road is anything but dry, you will just be spinning. they really putyou back in your seat and corner like they are on rails. if you won, it would only be because the driver is a moron, or you have way too many mods. the 2000 m3 has 350 hp, but has a limiting feature (that can be turned off somehow) that limits how much goes to the wheels. you can try, but it wont happen. my buddy dustin has a 97 red m3 in pennsylvania, and it flies. i could never get near it. of course, mine is a 4, and he did go to racing school, but if you see him with very dark tint, he will race, go for it!
