How did you do?

It was an E46 M3 (like 2003ish) Well we were weaving like crazy lol. I saw him come up near me and I weaved around traffic on the right side of the four lanes and he weaved around traffic in the left two lanes. Then under the Hartford tunnel (I think is what you call it) on 84 I downshifted and punched it and flew over to the right lane by the end of the tunnel. Then I cut over to the middle lanes for a few moves, then got around to the left lane and kept going.. barely saw him in my rearview lol. So I continued cruising. Then a couple miles later I see him gaining on me after he got through everybody. I hit the gas in fifth and he was on my ass, so I downshifted and punched it in fourth and after I was done in fourth he was a 1/2 - 1 car length further behind me. I don't know if he had to wait to hit the gas or what though. Can't really say I won in that instance. Then I went around some more cars and almost expected him not to follow me since it was pretty crazy lol, but he did. Then once we got onto 9 there was a gap in traffic. I was trying to get him to slow down so we could go from a second or third gear punch, but he didn't want anything to do with it. :shrug: I would have loved to line up next to each other though! :rockon: I looked em up and I guess they run low-mid 13's, which would be a perfect match for my car.

Wow that was a long.. and irresponsible story. :lol1: I wont get into the donuts I did tonight.. lol I love this thing.

Didnt catch the door only saw the rear. Looked like his car. I did see the old sticker that me and tom made up on the rear window thats why I thought it was him. " Just another victim..."

His car is the only one i have seen with that.

just to let you guys know, i think the state police are getting a fleet of new camaros... two weeks ago or so i drove by a dealer in saybrook/westbrook and there was a red camaro, gray one, and no bullshit... about 15 silver camaros. I went by there the other day and all of the silver camaros are no where to be found. why else would a dealer order all silver, and where would they all dissapear to at the same time... i bet you that they're getting upfitted right now and we will see them out soon.

Worry not....I have a guy down there and he told me that they are the factory delivery dealer for Callaway.

The silver's are going to be some sort of special edition car but he couldn't say for whom....all to be
prepped in Old Lyme by Callaway but won't be branded as a Callaway car...

And try more like 25 of 'em...;-)

Best,
J

I know who he is. I grew up in berlin. Thats in front or side of the Berlin Fire House. He's friends with people I know. Drives that car year round or used too. Had a nice harley f-150 before the cobra. Cool picture though. :rockon:
