Wonderful Day Please read
Well, im 16 and i dont expect to have a ferrari or anything. but my dad just got a 2003 BMW M3 w/ 333 horses N/a. My dad loves fixing up cars and i convinced him in getting the M3 Gtr setup used in germany wich is twin turbo and produces more than 650 Hp, this car already runs mid 13's and its already in the shop getting intake, header, change of exhaust. and most important of all.... The TUrbo.. i will put some pics of the engine and the car when it comes out of the shop. Happiest 16 yr old u will ever meet

Haha, that's good that you realize that toad. Most people your age (i'm only 19 and i've learned this already!) are like NAW I CAN HANDLE IT I'M A MAN and crap and they never think they will get into trouble.
I had a couple of friends a couple of months ago who were riding with this other friend of theirs in his brand new M3 and he decided to hit 150 on a 45 and what wound up happening was they rear-ended a small pickup and sent it flying and the guy was in the hospital for a long *** time. My friends and the driver were unscathed, but it's still dangerous as hell.
PLEASE learn your limits in a parking lot or something, not on the street!

yea i know, even though speed is addictive it had to stop at certain limit. The other day i peeled out w/ it and it keeps peeling out either until u let go of the accelator or until ur tires and rims get destroyed. Its pretty amazing considering i could never do that on my pro. I only get the a little chirp

what my protege or the M3???? well my pro is auto but the M3 is stick and i dont know y anyone would get a car like that in automatic. The only reason i got my pro auto is cuz its a 99 and i got it used from my dad's friend that was leaving the country so we got it for $3000 w/ 27,000 miles on it. Yea but the M3's gearbox is the sweetest yet meanest thing of life. It's smooth when you want to drive it good yet it becomes a moster when you go all the way to redline.
