Parked next to a silver GT with spoiler and rotary accents, license plate "MUSL PUP" at Lone Star yesterday. Was hoping they might show up on here- guess not

I think they dealers should pass out a WWW.RX8CLUB.COM sticker out with every one sold.

There are not that many Richmond RX8's on the board.

Easier than that .....

We get a supply of stickers and every Sunday, when no one is around, we go to Capital and Whitten and stick them on every RX-8 on the lot.

Was going for a beer run on Nuckols gas station. Decided to go for a drive. Made a right from nuckols onto springfield. Out of no where comes this car cornering fast as **** right behind me, didn't know what it was so I just went on my way. Got to stop light at Broad and saw it was an M3. So decided to have some fun and follow this guy and he took the corner fast as **** at broad as well. You know how Broad is at night though, all green lights. Finally get a chance at a stop light a few blocks bfore Horspen. Sees this kid that looks like maybe mid 20's with some chick in the passenger seat so figured I'd smoke him for sure. So I launched my car at 6k rpm with wheelspin and all. Pulled ahead by about half a car length, and then the m3 ******* woke up and pulls ahead. I redline it in 1st, did the most perfect upshift ever and WOT again in 2nd, we're right next to each other.. Freakin redline it again in 2nd, upshift perfectly into 3rd, m3 starts pulling away from me. I was like ****. I kept the pedal to the ground and I was able to pull ahead by about a car length. I was going about 90mph on Broad by this time. ****** m3 again must have Nitrous or some **** pulls ahead again even though I was in 3rd with WOT at 99mph! I couldn't believe it. At that point I felt I lost and didn't want to get arrested so slow down and the punk pulled into Krispy Kreme. Damn that car was fast. can't be stock can it? Man I knew I should've gotten an M3. It was an old school one too no less. Now I'm depressed. I NEED MORE POWER!!!
I am surprised he didn't start pulling on you until 3rd gear. Yes it only has 240hp but it has 236 lb of torque. And it weighs round 3100 lbs so about the same as your car. The key here is torque.

You actually did very well consider how much more torque he has with the M3.

What color was it? Yellow? If it was yellow that guy has some mod on the engine, not stock.
