I have a 95 SE (5M) and a few months ago I raced my wife in her VW Passat VR6 (5M). It was a short race on a deserted back road that turns from 2 lanes to 1 lane after a little over 1/8 mile.
I beat her pretty easily but I had to factor in that she didn't drive her car like I drive the Maxima and was probably not used to shifting for optimal acceleration.
Now the tables have turned, last night we picked up a 2K2 SE(6M) and she is already loving the power and warning me not to 'covet' HER car.
We are going to try it again after I get my ACT clutch and the new Max gets broken-in but I still don't know if I am going to tell her about the little blue bottle in my trunk.

 

nice to see you are having fun after the loss of your honduh

 

Are you referring to the NSX? That was a sad day...
I still want another one since I keep hearing about major reliability issues with current M3s. I just need to make it through the next few years of law school
