The wife and I were on our way home from running errands and I was playing with the boost from the new HKS actuator (which holds 14lbs very nicely- until the t25 gets too hot then it will fall off to 13lbs) and we were discussing the fact that I had never run into a new M3 that wanted to play. While sitting at the next light what appears behind me but a '04 M3 convertable.
We both were getting onto the highway and it was one of the coolest on ramps in the NoVA area. Let me say now that the M3 can handle like nobody's business. He was unbeliveably fast and could completely handle all of his car. After playing catch-up we got onto 395 and headed towards 495 to antoher great on-ramp and I was in front. I came in hot and downshifted and trailbraked to keep speed up. It didn't matter he passed me on the inside like I was stading still. After going through some esses I was right back in his ass and ran it untill I hit the governor.
We both got off of 495 at the same exit and got stopped at a light. He gave me the thumbs up and we started to talk. He drives professionally with the SCCA and said my only mistake was not holding a tight enough line on the exit to 495. Then said that he loved my car. I returned the compliment and told him he was an amazing driver and he said that I was "pretty damn good" myself.
What a great time! I give newfound props to M3s and good drivers!

Thank you and come again!
